Hello, blogging world...

I haven't blogged in a loooooong time. Since June 24, 2008, in fact (oh, xanga). But it felt like time to get back to writing. So here I am. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to write about on this blog, but more and more lately, I've felt like writing (about everything except what I'm supposed to be writing about for school stuff,  of course). Therefore, I will write whatever I feel like writing. And that's just how it's going to be. :D


The title of this blog ("Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing") comes from 2 Corinthians 6:

"We put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed; sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything."                                       

-2 Corinthians 6:3-10, NIV

Life is very interesting lately, and God has been teaching me so much, especially over the last few months that I've been at Penn State. I'm hoping this blog will be a good way to engage in conversation about some of those things with those of my friends who will be reading this and to let people know what's going on in my life, especially since I don't see a lot of you all hardly ever anymore, so...if you ever want to discuss something, comment on my posts, or call me! :)
