First Post

Well, I've waited for winter break to make this blog. Here we go!

I wanna write about a lot...the story behind the name of my blog, the other names I thought of using, how my December has been, Christmas parties with long-time-no-see-wow-a-lot-has-changed family, finals, how much God has been blessing me as I've had so much free time to be with Him, how I'm frustrated at my parent's computer for eating my digital picture card, how Oprah got me crying over North Korea, how much I enjoyed Mill Avenue, how much I enjoyed The Pursuit of Happyness, how much I didn't enjoy Love Actually... and all these other random thoughts that I've had the time to think lately. Maybe I'll get to them in the future. But it all seems like too much now.

I will say this though: that quote "the world is flawed, but these scars will heal" from Switchfoot's song We Are One has really meant a lot to me, this week, this semester, this whole year. The Lord has taught me a lot with that line of hope. And praise Him that it's true! He's coming back to heal the pain we've brought into this world. There's a lot of pain in this world, more than we can even know. I've learned about a lot this year. And Christ's the only hope.

...And what hope that is!

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us - Romans 8:18
