Retreating to my personal journal, I have neglected this blog and it has become antiquated.
I am about to enter the weekend preceding week 8 of winter quarter. I feel as though I have resorted to my attitude of quarters prior to the last one with the addition of a more diverse group of experiences. My continued study of chaos theory, conspicuous consumption, market externalities, separation of ownership and control, and more is utterly captivating.
Earlier today I met up with my friend Daniel and we updated each other on what's going on in each others' lives in order to encourage. With continued study at Chicago and Harvard Law School, Daniel's plans thrilled and excited me all the more. As we discussed what I have planned, we became more and more excited. Every year has more and more blessings in store, and I cannot thank God enough for what is and what is to come. If it is God's will, there will be many avenues that facilitate the goals I have placed in front of me. I am a recipient of God's grace. Not of myself, but greater strength in him through me.
Anxious and nervous, I will be interning for a reputable financial firm next quarter that specializes in high wealth management. What I am more excited about is that in the office, there are a multitude of different specialties housed within seconds of each other. Examining and working in this high powered environment, I hope to establish healthy relationships that will continue after the internship.
This post is being utilized as a short update on what is going through my mind at the moment regarding some experiences to come. Due to my aversion to divulging many things I have planned, I will direct attention to what matters most in my life.
"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
I am realizing more and more how I have been provided for in times of need. This assists my grasp of why I cannot be knowledgeable of all I have learned. A particular sermon here and there, or even a conversation, is placed perfectly in my life so that I may assist a brother/sister/myself at that particular moment.
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without approach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting...the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere." James 1,3
From the divided-self to the assumption of being above-average, all these phenomenons give glory to God.
I am a mere servant, seeking to "be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger" (James 1).
The embodiment of imperfection, yet in pursuit of a Holy God.
Discipline. Vision. Decision.
