Too Blessed to be Stressed

It’s been almost 3 weeks since the New Year began. I’m sure many of you are wondering how my 30 chapters a day resolution is going. Well, I was reading 30 chapters a day up until January 15th. I gotta give it to myself for getting through 1/3 of the Bible in just two weeks… it was pretty hardcore!!! I’d be done in a month if I kept going! Haha, crazy! Anyway, spending approx. 2 hours a day reading started to become draining on top of everything else. By the 15th, I was so sleep-deprived that I decided to take a break (and so instead, I watched FURIOUS LOVE, a very inspiring documentary about Love in the midst of some major spiritual warfare). So yup, I have revised my resolution. I’ll read 5 chapters a day at the very least. They say if you read 5 chapters a day, you can finish the Bible in a year!

So what else has been going on? Well, I’ve been finishing up some work for a documentary that I’ve been working on in the past year. I’ll def be plugging it in the near future. I’ve also been spending as much quality time as possible with friends before my trip to Taiwan. I take off in a week and I am very, very excited! Taiwan has family, friends, good food, lots to do, and I don’t have to drive! I may even go to HK or Beijing for a week. Life is def good right now.

And although there are moments or days when I feel down or lonely, God knows and He always reminds me that He’s right there. Like today, God put it on a friend’s heart to give me a call and grab lunch. It was super random, cuz’ this friend and I never hang out and actually, I had been feeling kinda funky the past two days. So after hanging out for two hours and having revelations about God… it was def a Godsend. Dating God (my other New Year’s resolution) has been sweet. I’m just learning about Love really. Seeing people how God sees them. Loving and expecting nothing in return. And I’m trying not to be in my head so much, rather trying to enjoy God’s presence all the time.

Btw, I’ve been receiving a lot of encouraging emails from strangers. THANK YOU to those who have written me! I’m sorry I haven’t written back yet, but I do want y’all to know that I have read your emails and am very encouraged by them! :]

Finally, here’s a cute VoteCPAF.org PSA with one of our fave dance crews:

You dig it? Kaba Modern rocks for sure. And so does CPAF. Last night, I actually got to meet some CPAF counselors and they were all super awesome people. I def want to see CPAF stay open for all the domestic violence and sexual assault victims out there… so please vote! There’s less than a day left!
