i suck sometimes

i haven't been doing so well in the actively-keep-in-touch-with-the-bffs-who-are-halfway-around-the-world department.
and i've been sorta aware of that. but i think it's because i thought they felt the same way as i did -- i've spent 8 months with them in another country so a little break is okay; besides, we'd be reunited in a couple months.

i guess that's kinda like a lot of people's relationship with God. "God has my back always and forever. a little break is fineeee."

if you're reading this, i'm really sorry. i've been busy catching up with people and reacquainting myself with the life i had for 22.25 years in california that i haven't been thinking much about whether you guys really missed me or not.

anyway... tom short, the college campus evangelist, came to UCSD once again -- his 3rd year here. i was blessed as always, as he endured persecution and boldly preached the Word to non-believers and believers alike. i always learn so much from this man and a lot of the things he says sticks to me well enough to repeat it to other people (i'm not really good at that usually).

onto another topic:
my heart is slowly starting to respond to this certain change in the environment. i need Him. i need to constantly be reminded of and focus on Him, and my heart will not budge.
