DEWEY!
I find myself yelling that a lot these days. Usually followed by, No! or Bad boy! or Where are you?!
Today, Dewey managed to do the following:
-Get into my room and run around the house with my rolled up socks
-Do the same with my underwear
-Do the same with two of my stuffed animals that are bigger than he is
-Run in the sprinklers then run back in the house
-Grab napkins off the table and...

Yesterday, Eunice slept over and this morning, I ran into Chris on the bus.
:D Little remnants of Berkeley manifested in people make me oh so happy
Wall of Faith
I just spent the last 8 hours creating this in my apartment:
I call it the Wall of Faith.
I debated whether it was worth it to finish this tonight (knowing I probably wouldn’t do a good job on it and that I would have to wake up in four hours), but in the end, I knew I had to finish it.
The morning after Chapter Camp was over, I woke up sad. Waking up to this uneasy feeling of heartache...

A Few Reasons Why This Year Was Great
I released to God my idolized view of community. He redeemed it by giving me this broken community of brothers and sisters, far from perfect and with not enough time left, but a community I have come to love and with acceptance of the time He gave me. BTW, Senior Large Group was worth the foodless days and sleepless nights, the stress and the hard work.

Steve Brown tells a story about a time his daughter Robin found herself in a very difficult English Literature course that she desperately wanted to get out of.
She sat there on her first day and thought, “If I don’t transfer out of this class, I’m going to fail. The other people in this class are much smarter than me. I can’t do this.” She came home and with tears in her eyes begged her...

An intriguing question asked to me last night…
If you had to choose 2 of the 3, and there was NO POSSIBILITY of gaining all 3…
Wealth+Beauty=You’ll have a fun life, but it won’t really matter to anyone? Paris Hilton, and other celebs.
Wealth+Intelligence=You’ll make big changes in the world,…
This was a question that was posed in small group on Tuesday. Funny, because...
Hi small group,
Remember when we didn’t really know each other?
Let me remind you!
This was way back in November, when less than half of the smallgroup was at FallCon. Don’t the smiles/our faces look kind of awkward/uncomfortable to you? I remember how frustratingly slow it took for our smallgroup to kick into full-gear. I remember leaving FallCon a little disappointed—I thought I was going...

Emotions
After
Senior Spring Break
It’s hard to write when you have all of these different thoughts and emotions running through your head, but I really need to get them down. I guess right now, Tumblr is more of a canvas that I can splatter my thoughts on rather than a place where I can write polished entries.
So. It’s weird lying in my bed feeling so nostalgic. If you...
LifeSci 3/15
I really, really liked today’s smallgroup. One, because it was very chill. It’s nice to have a relaxed, not so serious but still meaningful day in the midst of crazier days. Two, because the worship was so good for my soul (I’ve been saying that a lot these days-guess my soul is getting fed lots and lots!). Unplanned, uninhibited, and even if it was awkward at times, I liked the...
This is what happens when you don't come to my OH!
In between prepping for small group and praying for y’all, I have conversations with this girl:
cho.ashley: you’re so impt! with your office hours haha Sent at 5:26 PM on Monday me: lol no one comes though hahaha cho.ashley: i would just go and hang out hahaha Sent at 5:29 PM on Monday me: i wish you were here cho.ashley: i can fly there! riight now...
This was SO GOOD for my SOUL!
My Utmost for His Highest I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision —Acts 26:19
If we lose “the heavenly vision” God has given us, we alone are responsible— not God. We lose the vision because of our own lack of spiritual growth. If we do not apply our beliefs about God to the issues of everyday life, the vision God has given us will never be fulfilled. The only way to be obedient to “the...

There are so many things I want to write down right now from the past week…
I should have written them down somewhere at the time because I can’t remember anything that I wanted to write about now.
So instead, I’ll write about how my mom is next to me exercising while I’m eating pie.
Oh yes, and I’m going to see NEVER SAY NEVER on Saturday <3!!!!

This kept me entertained for THREE HOURS at work today! Every time a new song came up on my ipod, I made sure the little spiderman on my computer screen still was on beat!

Today's Random Rambles...
I think there is something wrong with the nerves on the right corner of my right foot—it always feels like it’s wet when I have my shoes on but I don’t think it is…
When I wait in line for the BART in the morning, seeing the headlights emerge out of the blue light and round the corner makes me feel like I’m in line for a ride at Disneyland. I really wish I was there...
Two cups of hot chocolate, a (not so pretty but better than nothing) view of the city, rain and sun, learning new things, wishing I could help reach deadlines and thus being super motivated to learn, new co-workers, daydreaming—I really, really like my job and going to work these days. What a blessing this is.

How liberating it is to be a follower of Christ
To be at the end of His endless pursuit
To experience Him call again and again
especially when I stumble and fall and fail
To boldly pursue Him
not afraid of the things of this world
trusting in His provision and plans.
How sweet it is to be loved by You
Matthew 6:25 "My Utmost for His Highest"
“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?”
A warning which needs to be repeated is that “the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches,” and the lust for other things, will choke out the life of God in us (Matthew...
Your grace is enough for me.
Not his grace, or her grace, their grace, or even your grace.
But God’s grace
is enough
for me.
Day 2 at work today...
“I think you were a former student of mine…”
I knew exactly who it was before she said that, though. I just didn’t want to be awkward in case she didn’t remember me so I didn’t say anything before. I think it’s more likely for a student (for example, me) to remember teachers we’ve had, but harder for teachers to remember students (150 students every...
At work today...
I was called a f****** liar because my co-worker told a customer her medication would be ready in 15 minutes when in reality, it was never transferred to our pharmacy. Apparently it’s like a rite of passage because that same co-worker got yelled at (by a different person) on her first day, too. Ok, I’m used to it in pharmacies. You just move on.
But know what was awesome? The old lady...
Where there’s a will God, there’s a way.
Alone
When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted desires, a broken friendship, or a new friendship— when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us. There are vast areas of stubbornness and ignorance the Holy Spirit has to reveal in each of us, but it can only...

This is so cool! Ahh, this woman is living my life! I want to do something like this with my career and with my life!
I believe that the privileged life I have been blessed with puts me in a position of (good) power. All of us who can say this have it. We have the power to change lives, to do good in the world and serve those who have desperate needs.

Because Everyone Else is Posting About 2010...
A large part of 2010 for me went something like this (excerpts from My Utmost for His Highest): “Once God has begun the process of sanctification in your life, watch and see how God causes your confidence in your own natural virtues and power to wither away. He will continue until you learn to draw your life from the reservoir of the resurrection life of Jesus. Thank God if you are going...

I am done with undergraduate studies today.
What a Post-Worthy Day
Plan: Hike to Big C at 10PM with some LifeSci people
What actually happened: Late Night and then…wait for it…watching Youtube videos of Korean music. Actually, since they were teaching me everything about it, Holly referred to it as webcasting for me.
That’s right. I can’t believe it happened either. After many failed attempts in my 3.5 years at Berkeley, I’ve never...
“That was a noble attempt”
– Roomie, after I tried getting her Yogurtland the way she likes it. Note to self—don’t forget to pick a really sweet yogurt (like coffee), the walnuts, and a little animal cracker sticking out of the top. <3 ruv you cutie
Me: I don’t like handing in my finals down the row and then having a GSI pick all of them up because I don’t know if it gets there. What is someone drops it or misplaces it and it doesn’t get in?
Vivian: Yea…or what if someone decides to be mean and purposely takes it and doesn’t hand it in just to mess with you?
Here’s to hoping that I can graduate without...
I’m about to KO so this probably won’t be as eloquent as I hoped.
But to my small group:
I definitely don’t think it’s an accident that we are in the same small group, that we’re a community this year. I am absolutely amazed at the lives you all have led, your experiences, your thoughts and at how wonderfully different you all are. What a diverse group of people who...

My Utmost for His Highest
The way we continually talk about our own inabilities is an insult to our Creator. To complain over our incompetence is to accuse God falsely of having overlooked us. Get into the habit of examining from God’s perspective those things that sound so humble to men. You will be amazed at how unbelievably inappropriate and disrespectful they are to Him. We say things such as, “Oh, I shouldn’t...
I feel liberated.
I am free.
After many Fridays out…
it’s nice to have one Friday in <3
Dearest Nicole,
Stop being so hard on yourself.
It’s OK.
I love you.
Love, God
*Why is it so hard for me to believe/feel this, even after epic Galatians studies?
Sigh. Still a learning process, striving to be a child in a minor’s world.
But I love You, too.
VICTORIOUS!
After a long, long, LONG time of mooching internet off our neighbors…Sarah and I FINALLY FIXED OUR ROUTER after like 2 hours of struggling.
I’M SO PROUD OF US!
Victory never tasted so sweet…except Jesus’ victory, which is on a whole different scale of evaluating taste buds.
Thank You, God, for answering our prayers and allowing us to repent and then be ethical people by...
