"The Jeremy Lin Problem"
I feel like I can relate. A similar tension of ethos happens in the architecture world.
Jeremy Lin needs prayer!

hasta luego, hasta pronto
after a two-hour skype conversation with my parents, we decided that this summer is not the best time for me to go to costa rica.
i am little sad, but not really because it makes sense.
missions (in the developing world, that is) will have to wait until after i graduate, God willing. whether it's right after senior year or sometime in the more distant future.
but i think this was a good process, both for me and for my parents. i cried today when i read my mom and dad's emails saying that money isn't everything and they would be willing to support me, as much as I know they didn't like the idea of me serving in costa rica and as much as they have always been skeptical about me getting super involved in ministry, whether it was worship team in the fourth grade or missions in the fifteenth grade.
i am learning that i do have a big say in the relationships i have and make.
maybe that's obvious to you, but i feel like it's something i'm just learning.

The truth, no matter how harshly and unlovingly spoken, is the truth.
I really, really need to find a discipler / accountability to help me live in light of these things I know about Christ and about myself.
Sometimes I really do feel like a baby with a really big head and a small, clumsy body.
haha. Too much knowledge. Not enough exercise.

our life stories are all the same story
life is so Good when it's spent adoring, confessing, thanking, crying out shoulder-to-shoulder with bics and sics who fight for the very same thing
surely Good-er than successful book-editing, homemade tofu guac, wine in Madrid, Take Away Shows, finding the perfect red mary janes, walking into a room where everyone likes/respects/fears you
Gooder than all these "booms" and sweeter still throughout the "busts"
these are the things I will remember and miss the most about my two semesters in this pinkish-gray wood house
so much to be faithful with and to be held accountable for
