Faith & Power

This is something I’ve been thinking about and struggling with for a while now. I want to share some of my thoughts and questions here because maybe you’ve been feeling the same way I have. I have considered myself a Christian since college, when I first truly learned about Jesus. I learned about His amazingContinue reading “Faith & Power”

Unrecognizable Faith

There are so many topics, emotions, and opinions running through my mind and it’s hard to formulate them all in a way that makes sense to anyone outside of my brain. As I thought about what may connect these seemingly unconnected feelings, something did emerge: I’m having a hard time associating with the faith that I have held sinceContinue reading “Unrecognizable Faith”

Fear & Response

There have been a few events in the past two years that I have felt genuine fear over. First was Ebola and [what I thought at the time was a] threat of widespread outbreak.

I literally have 4-5 drafts written for the different things that I’ve wanted to share, but haven’t felt like they were reallyContinue reading

Reflections..

Past Emotional Memories

Last night I drove the new SP Interns to LAX for them to catch a 16-hour flight to Manila. All day I felt nervous and anxious and I couldn’t understand why. It was as though I was going on the trip with them and the thought of returning to such a hard place made myContinue reading “Past Emotional Memories”
