Thoughts anyone? I'm worried that these universities and campuses just want non-religious students that have activities outside of the academic setting. I think it benefits all universities/colleges when students are not only active in their faith but in their studies as well. What's the harm?

What I have been learning:
These are things I have been learning from my classes this semester.
1. How to take care of the earth. We are products of our environment in so many ways. This includes society, nature, everything.
2. Depending solely on Yeshua and the Book for life's answers. I think 1 Corinthians 1-2 makes it pretty clear that we need to think with the mind of Isa al Masih instead of our own. We are flawed. This has probably been one of the greatest challenges and learning experiences so far: is everything I do from the Book, or is everything I do from my own will and I read/insert it into the Book? Am doing/following the right kind of theology?
3. Learning about the unique history of missions and about what it looks like today. Very interesting. It's good. It's bad. But ultimately it will end with bringing the true God glory. Can't wait to go to other nations and get their perspective on it too.
4. What is the truth? How can you explain or communicate it in a logical way? How do you know what you know? Is there absolute truth? Interesting questions eh? It's all dialogued about in my thought class.
5. A seminar class about the future/life after graduation. Loans. Jobs. Resume's. Etc. etc... quite stressful when thought about too much

The Last Song
This movie put a lot of things into perspective for me.
Love those you have. Let go of the past. Keep on loving.

I am still alive....
I have been tending to personal issues for the past month or so. Life gets kind of blurry when you are in the midst of school + drama + personal stuff. But I am coming around...
I wish for so many things but I dont want to vomit on the non-existent readers that may be reading this, lol.
I will say this though: I miss God, my students from China + Thailand, my friends and family from SE Asia, Thailand, and Beijing. Sometimes I become fooled (because of myself and the enemy) about how alone I am. When in reality, we are truly not alone. As simple as that.
Well this is the home stretch as some like to call it. Pretty much a month or so left and then school will be over. Or at least I hope it will be. :\ I feel so bad for my profs. They always have to deal with me... :\
I know I am jumping all over the place with this blog... but I have put myself through some unnecessary drama this past month. And I just need to tell myself that I am beautiful. And it doesnt matter what world is saying... I will always be my Father's little girl. Loved by the Creator of the world. I have siblings all over the world. A really big family. And yeah, sometimes our family has some crazy issues. But our Father is bigger than that and He will shape us to be like Him. You are beautiful... for everything you are. We are all beautiful.
