Stepping Back

Maybe I'm too invested in everything. Maybe I just need to take a step back.

So Won't You Hold Me?

He's there, even when I fail.

When I'm not enough.
When all I have is him.
When I'm true.
When I'm hidden.

When It's Right

Sometimes, we just... know that it is time to move on. Maybe it was never a good fit in the first place. Maybe the welcome wore out. We just want to have the best for everyone, to spare the future pain with present sacrifice.

But, you know, in the end, what is best will hopefully come together. It is what we hope for.

Chinese Church

Today, I attended a Chinese Church (it's actually Cantonese, but there's an English service, so it's not such a big deal). It was okay... the music was rusty (but it's a small church, and the younger kids were running it since most of the uni students are just getting back), and the pastor clearly was not extremely comfortable in English.

I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for, but maybe a Chinese Church isn't the right thing for me. Chinese churches tend to be uptight and more traditional... I love hymns and whatnot, but I just don't fit that mold I suppose. Not a bash against these churches... they are great at serving their purpose, but maybe it's something I have to extend beyond.

One day, I'll find the perfect place to call my home church.

Finding Tight Friends

It's been such a blessing. I guess school-based Christian friends was something I never had an opportunity to experience. It is fortunate that I met a few of them prior to leaving this year, and they've really been a blessing so far.

As for a church, I haven't found one yet (naturally), but I will make attempt number one today (Sunday). Wish me luck!

So far, it's been a hot, busy, week. I can't believe I'm saying this... but I really want classes to start. Yes, I'm a bit crazy in the head.

Today, we went to the farmer's market and got some groceries. Fun stuff.

Sorry for the abbreviated and off-the-wall post... I just lack so much sleep.

Test Day!

I just took an English writing test (one apparently needs to pass before he or she can enroll in 4th semester)... it wasn't so bad. I think I did well.

But just from the different attitudes of the profs and whatnot, one can tell it is a very different environment than high school.

As well... have fun everyone. School's back! Woooo... no, not really.

Wow

It's been a great time so far at Waterloo. Getting to meet new people was pretty exciting. Our don is a pretty funny and thoughtful guy, AND he's a fine arts major, which means we get some pretty cool stuff. The people in the dorm are generally quite friendly as well.

That being said, I do sometimes still feel like I miss people in Vancouver! But I'm definitely a lot more secure in my belief that Waterloo was the right decision.
