I'm back home in Foothill Ranch in my room. It's been approximately a week since my little voyage to San Jose. Home is a lovely place to be. I've been seeing so many friends and hanging out at all the various places that I used to as an undergraduate. A bittersweet reunion almost, as I know my time here is nearing an end. But I see my time here as almost a point of closure, where I know that however things are now, it will all be OK in the end. Life goes on, live and let live as my friend Monica Nguyen always puts it. We all get caught up in life as we know it, and being wrapped up in this ever so temporary whirlwind makes us lose sight of the bigger purpose--the growth of our love, spirit, and character in Christ. I don't wanna sound all Ned Flanders-esque, haha, but this is what I feel with all my heart. Places change, people change, only the memories stay with you. Sometimes certain memories don't gain significance until a significant span of time after the memory was acquired in the first place. Times of quiet, rest, and reflection, where you can quiet yourself as the world around you sleeps peacefully so that you may truly understand your greater purpose and heart. Sometimes I get down, and my friends too, about their shortcomings, inability to reach out to people to share love and light, but sometimes we touch people's lives without fully being aware of this....

Just wanted to thank God for all that's He's blessed my heart and my life with......Amen.
