Parsing the Light from the Dark

If there's one thing I have learned to trust, it is that God is a God of peace. If there is one thing I have learned to hate, it is how the Devil creates discord by squeezes himself in the middle of everything beautiful, seemingly smoothly. Sometimes he sure sounds like God, but something is off. And sometimes, he is just this huge negative, full force bomb that splats itself right in the middle of my mind. And I have to tell him to leave. It sucks.

I have realized the reason why I am confused a lot is because there are tensions from two different realms coming at the same time. God's world and Satan's world, up against each other, always, at every single second.

Then God comes along and gives you ways out for every single problem you face, and when you get to the end of it, there's His bright, shining light that never fades. I love it.

I have to constantly pray for God's hand, care, and protection because wow. I am so weak in the face of Satan. But I think that's why I have the best father, king, friend, and protector in the universe.

Literally, I think I need to make two things constant staples in every single prayer:
1. For God's will to be done
2. For God to fill me so much that Satan has absolutely ZERO space in my life.

Hopefully one day I will get there :)

I really like this picture because it reminds me that God speaks in images, in stories, and most importantly, through the Holy Spirit, our best helper. May I always be attuned to it in a way that benefits God's plan.

Using the Blog

Posts from 2012-2013 are mostly about my exchange year in Germany through CBYX.

Starting August 2016, I will write about my time in Taiwan as an ETA.

In between this time, you will find some of my random thoughts. Enjoy!
