Perhaps I Will Finish This One...

As the title suggests, I am typing out the first line of a potentially new post. If you are reading this, then it means that I have been successful in my attempt. If you don't ever read this, well, then it's no wonder because I would have never posted it!

I am a victim of procrastination. Actually, it's more like I do begin things, and then I don't end them well. Along the way, my flesh interjects and justifies how going halfway is good enough, or 3/4 will still matter. Completion is not always necessary, that little voice whispers deceptively. I don't practice this attitude in all areas,, but I find that this attitude creeps in and does spread its fingers into ever facet of life, like synctiotrophoblasts invading into the mother's maternal tissue as the blastocyst is embedding into the endometrium! (Haha, ok, that was an Embryology reference. It's a new class that I am taking this semester, and something I must do in my readings for tonight!)

These first two months have been significant for me. It would take too long to write it all and describe it in-depth, but here's a list:  D3. Discipleship. Fruits of discipleship. Human trafficking. Fasting. Seeking. Global Connect. Half marathon training. Egypt. Family. Sisterhood. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Genetics, Embryology, World Lit II, British Lit II. Volunteering at Scottish Rite. Spring Sing dancing & singing. Transitioning. Being reminded that I must die to myself. The Village Church. My Indonesian church. Close friends getting engaged, getting married. Praying about the future.


This is a year of transition, and I am already seeing it in my own life and the lives of many others around me. How beautiful it is to see! I am learning about getting deeper into His presence, and experiencing this depth individually and with the Body.

Well, I officially began this about 4 hours ago, but since then I have spoken with my best friend over the phone, had a hall meeting, had a late night snack, and the purposes of this post are no longer remembered.....Oh well. Many times, things do not end as they begun. :)

 I am off to finish Genetics! Selamat malam dan Tuhan memberkati!
