my thoughts on random stuff
It was March 10. Italy had just expanded its quarantine nationwide…while South Korea, another hotspot at the time, seemed to be slowing the spread through aggressive testing and contact tracing. In the US, New York was emerging as a hotspot…it was increasingly feeling much too close to home. About a month before that, my office …
February 21 (in just 2 days) will mark 3 years since I started working in the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventist World Headquarters. I wish I’d blogged (and journaled) more faithfully…just for a record of how I processed through the transition. In fact, I haven’t been good at blogging since getting married—that’d make it 5 …
Today marks the one year anniversary of my first day at this job. It has been quite a ride! The move from Michigan was rough. Financially. Emotionally. Socially. Rough. But here we are, one year later, and God has seen us through! When we filed our taxes, our tax preparer asked how we managed to …
This has been the LONGEST year of my life! Before this year, I’d have said that the wait from age 7 to age 10 took the longest. It was around the age of 7 that I made a decision for baptism but was informed that I was too young to follow through with my decision. In …
It has taken me over a week and a half to synthesize why the backlash towards Syrian refugees (in withholding them asylum on the grounds of the Paris attacks) bugs me so much. Even now I’m not sure I’ll manage to clearly and concisely summarize my thoughts, but I’m ready now to take a shot …
All throughout our courtship, we’ve joked about updating our relationship status on FaceBook to “It’s Complicated.” You see, our cultural differences made for an interesting scenario on who to tell what – when. (And now I’m debating if I should try to explain it all here…And I’m shrinking from the task! <sigh>) Well, when Archie …
For my devotions, this morning, I decided to meditate on the Psalm for the Sabbath (since it is Sabbath today) and I couldn’t get past the first phrase: “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord” Psalm 92:1 In the midst of thanking God for one thing, I found myself complaining about …
Most people who have found out from me that I’m in a relationship, respond first with incredulity. haha. Yes, they laugh. Then they notice my straight face and double back, “wait…you’re serious?” Apparently part of why it’s so unbelievable is because they didn’t see it on Facebook! And to be sure, once they’re in the …
May is the month when I wasn’t sure I’d get my monthly blog in or not. It was really a toss-up: “I may or may not blog this month,” I thought. But I just really did not want to break my beautifully consistent record of blogging every month so here I am writing something down. …
Saw this poem as a friend’s note on Facebook and I liked it, so I share it here for your blessing. (Author Unknown) Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried. Quietly, patiently, lovingly God replied. I pled and I wept for a clue to my future,* And the Master so gently said, “Child, you must wait.” “Wait? …
