Finding C and H
longboarding near the shortcut to Fifth and they gave me a hug when I
was feeling lonely. Most random and seemingly whimsical event, yet it
stayed strong in my head even till now.
That
one time when I posted a FB status that accidentally and inadvertently
gave the impression I was kidnapped and P freaked out and called me
during class to make sure I wasn't actually in danger, to my surprise
and gratefulness. I was really happy that someone actually cared. Also
starting from that moment I became on guard on how my future posts could
be interpreted.
The night K and I watching all
of Halo 2-4 cutscenes and Halo Forward Unto Dawn. Ah and of course
playing Halo 2 with K and JLim. Watching K struggle against honor guard
elites was the best.
Hanging out with V and
hearing his testimony of getting out of drugs and into the missions
movement, ending with late night adventures to IHOP and eventually the
airport.
The night after T convicted and
rebuked me for not truly understanding the Gospel, leading me to pull an
all nighter and reading a good amount of the NT in one go to satisfy my
hunger to understand. Not going to lie, it was one of a very very few
times I found true peace in reading the Word of God. Rarely does that
happen, where reading scripture turns from just routine and studious
into something real and life giving. But thats the point, I felt it once
and I know it was the real deal, so that even if I don't feel anything
now or get no reaction when I read my Bible, I can always look back to
that moment and know what is real is still real, and everything will be
okay.
Several of the prayer meetings were very
memorable...the ones where many people came and we stayed till past
midnight as we shared and cried and hurt and encouraged and gave thanks
and just prayed for one another. Ah I should just share some from the
doc...
Surprisingly, I found the camping trip
to be a lot of fun, and I was really really happy no one tried to flirt
or hook up with one another. Like, this is the first time I've seen
this.
I miss the nights in undergrad when we
would just stay up laying on the carpet and just talk about life,
usually ending with how we still believe God is good and that though it
is hard, we trust He is still working in our lives.
Those 4 hours in NYC. It is too bad it was only a dream. But it is okay. Christ is enough for me, always.
