Wow, I looked back at my old tumblr posts… and I’ve come a long way… Haha, it’s April 2019 now and I have these posts from like 2013. Those posts talk about how much I love HMCC. Haha. It’s so interesting b/c at some point I tried to go to a different church b/c I wanted to connect with AIV ppl. I ended up at Harvest in the middle of Junior year. And wow… I learned so much and God let me experience his love so powerfully. I joined Global Access and my heart for the nations grew and grew. I’m so thankful for the story God was writing and is still writing in my life.

I still miss HMCC a lot... And I’m not sure which church community God will take me to next... but I’ve decided to commit because Jesus loved the Church. He loves the Church. And The Church is made up of all the small faithful local churches.

Challenge: 57. Slow Down

The them song of Terrace House, “Slow Down” by Lights Follow is so catchy. 

“ Cause I've been killing time I was losing life   I've been here for no good reason ....

When all this seems like it's okay and all we feel is day to day we're on replay  And all these dreams where life’s made are leaving out the people that we love So Slow Down We need to Slow Down 

...

No one's got a hold on time We just gotta spend it right  “ Sometimes I feel like time is slow, but at the same, I’m running here and there. How strange. We don’t get to control time. It’s good to plan but sometimes, I have to let things go, let things happen. The one who’s in control isn’t me, it’s God. He is the beginning and the end. I don’t want to live life on replay. I certainly don’t want to leave out the people that I love. I think slowing down means stopping to think, stopping to pray, spending more than just a moment with God.

The Endgame Hype is real. I was watching the Sherlock Holmes movie, and another character says to RDJ aka Tony “Whatever it takes”.

Challenge: 56. Everything For You

Wow, so I’m in grad school now.... and I think the last time I wrote something on tumblr was during the dark days...I looked at the prompt, “Everything For You” and was thinking I should save it for another time when I’m really walking the walk and living my life, surrendering everything for God. But then I realized I can’t just wait for the right timing and a prompt is a prompt. It’s not meant to be perfect; a prompt just needs to get me writing. 

Well, just an update- After I changed my major to Earth & Environmental Sciences, I was actually not too much happier in Junior year. Might’ve been worse b/c I didn’t have engineering to blame... So I was quite depressed, but by the God’s grace, I’ve experienced tremendous healing and renewal and love. I made good college friends, Japanese friends, and other international friends. I went to Urbana, committed to missions, cried to a stranger, switched fellowships, did crazy things (For God) with crazy people and lived. I really lived. A bunch of stuff happened- and I’ve come a long way. A really really long way. Now I’m in grad school in nyc studying to become a teacher. There are lots of ups and downs, maybe more downs in this stage of life... What I really need is to follow God through the mist, through the storms and the sunny days of life. Give everything to Him. Honestly speaking, I can’t seem to do it now... but I’ll try.

I forgot about Tumblr.... Am I ever gonna finish my 100 words prompt? I should finish the things I started shouldn’t I?

SPOILER ALERT CH 313 Eyeshield 21

___________________________________________________________

Agon: You don’t want the money but you want to join the NFL? It should be the opposite you idiot.

Hiruma: With my physical ability, I wouldn’t be able to get into the NFL through a normal tryout. It’s my first and last chance. I don’t need a reason for that. As long as I play, I’ll struggle to death until I get to the top, Because that’s how it’s fun.

This scene!!!!! Ahh, the feels. So much is going on in these few pages: Hiruma understanding what Agon’s desires, Hiruma being honest about the obstacles he’s facing and his dream, and Agon acknowledging the past he shared with Hiruma. Not shown in the quotes, but is actually in the manga is both Kid’s reaction as well as Sena’s and Suzuna’s reaction.

And in the last play, Hiruma still devises a plan where Sena gets to shine. 

Don’t you just love Hiruma?

Challenge: 55. Separation

Looks like I never got around to finishing this challenge. I’ve graduated from Undergrad. And I’m off to grad school in the fall. The separation from the family I’ve made on campus will begin soon enough. But before that, I have a decent chunk of the summer to connect with people.

Challenge: 54. Health and Healing

We all need healing in our lives. Because often times, are spiritual health isn’t that great. To be honest, college has done so much harm to me... Not the things I do in college, but the things I don’t do. Because I feel like I honestly don’t do much. But I know I’m trying... it’s just a lot harder to do things here, a lot harder to be myself. A lot easier to give into the lies. I know I’m healing though. I recently came across the saying “Grace can do more for you than what sin has done to you”. It’s beautiful. God’s power is made perfect in our weakness.

From FMA Complete Book: Material Side

[rurounifuji]

quality > quantity

I’m sorry if I’ve ever traded quality for convenience. It’s so tempting to try to cram as many things into my schedule as I can possibly fit- there’s so many people I love and not enough time to spend with everybody. 

I think there will times where we balance this better than others. But I promise that this Christmas, I’ll choose quality over quantity. God will place me where I need to be, when I need to be, with who he wants me to be with. I want to listen.

Challenge: 53. Future

Ahhh, future. Such a lovely word, a lovely idea. It’s much more exciting to dream about the good things in the future than to face the troubles of today. 

It’d be great to end up in Japan in the future. But I’m not exactly sure what profession I want... and learning a new language is so hard. Even though I love Japanese and Japan, and watch dramas and anime.... sometimes, I just don’t want to use the extra brain power to think about what the Japanese means. 

But I’ve come so far. Learning Japanese is what I’ve wanted to do since....like middle school! And I’m not sure what took me so long to pursue it... So I won’t waste this chance that I have to learn Japanese. I hope I can be somewhat fluent in the future. 

Unfortunately, not all of the wonderful friends I’ve made will be super present in my future...It’s just how modern day life is. This world we’re living in isn’t meant to fulfill all our desires and wants and needs.

Well, before the future comes.... we gotta live the present. Even when it’s finals week.
