EVERYTHING that happens in life reveals things about God's pursuit of us and His promises to us.
It can be as mundane as waiting to open a birthday present when you already know what it is, desperately hoping for motivation to write a paper, and tirelessly searching for an apartment.
God is found in the searching and the waiting.

What does God want from you? (originally published Facebook March 29)
What does God want from you?
A relationship.
It's that simple.
Simple, but not easy.
Not easy, but worth more than anything on this earth.
Worth more than anything on this earth,
and better than anything you can imagine.

Spring (originally published Facebook March 27)
Yesterday I could smell the river for the first time since the warmer days of fall. It was a very very good sign.
Tomorrow I think I am going to go to Home Depot and buy a potted flower and put it in my window. Of course, it's a northwest-facing window so it probably gets the least amount of direct sunlight possible...but at least I can try.
I just want to see and smell a flower! It's supposed to be that time of year!

Do you understand how AMAZING God is?? Nope, neither do I. Which is why it's so awesome to be covered in His grace!
I just wanted to tell everyone that Jesus loves you and He IS alive!!! More than you can ever imagine. . .

End of Ze World (originally published Facebook on March 18)
Ok, but in all seriousness. . . .
I was on the train on my way to my internship in NYC yesterday. . .and it so happens it was St. Patrick's Day. So the car is filled with college-age students all dressed in green whose conversations revolved around alcohol and their drunken St. Patty's day memories. . .well, drunk stories in general.
But the part that caught my attention is they started talking about the weather. . .and one girl pipes up "I swear, the world is going to end soon!" and then they all continued on talking about getting drunk.
All I could think, wow, they are anticipating the end of the world, and yet, either they do not understand the magnitude of that event, or they don't really care, because although, sure, assuming the world is ending soon, they are going to go right ahead living destructive lives.
It's really sad to realize so many people think that what they do here doesn't really matter, and don't really know/understand/care what's going to happen when Jesus comes back. . .
