Teeny-bopper at heart

It's a bit embarrassing to admit now as a college junior, but I am still a teeny-bopper at heart. Yesterday, I found out that Jesse McCartney aka the "Beautiful Soul" everyone was obsessed with 3 summers ago, the cute guy from Summerland, and the former member of DREAM STREET, was IN THE SAME BUILDING AS ME, GIVING A PRIVATE CONCERT. WHAT THE HECK.

So my workplace has these things called Artist in Residence where they have random artists come in to perform for us. They told us that many of these performances are low-key and that we usually won't find out about them until the of--but clearly EVERYONE here knew about it except for me. My fellow interns casually brought it up in a meeting and I started FREAKING out at the thought that I could have met him/had him serenade me in person! GOSH. No one thought I would be interested, considering that most of the people who went to see him were 8-12 year old children whose parents work at Leo Burnett. AHHHHHHHHH!!!

So after work, I went down to the room where he performed, and waited in the hallway (the concert was way over) assuming that he would have to come out to go to the bathroom SOMEtime. Then someone told me that only the band was rehearsing, so I went home. And then my roommate told me she had heard he was giving another concert at 6PM! But of course by then it was already too late :(

Here is a pathetic video of me standing in the hallway, as I wait for Jesse McCartney to come out. You can even hear me whimper for a couple seconds hahaha.



DID YOU KNOW?: Jesse McCartney is currently trying to reach an older fan-base, and he actually co-wrote Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love, alongside OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder! IMPRESSIVE!

And just when you least expect it..

Today I went down to the food court with another intern and as I opened my box of sushi, I hesitated. Feeling as if there were too many eyes on me (I only ate with one other person -_-), I questioned whether I should pray before my meal, in fear of social rejection. After I prayed, she asked me if I was a Christian, and I awkwardly responded that I was. Then she said, "Finally! What a relief to know that there are other Christians!" WHAT THE.. I couldn't believe it. Here I was, sitting with a co-worker that I had simply exchanged cordial greetings with, now talking about God haha. Even though I was scared and honestly did NOT want to pray, God used a habitual thing like that to open up opportunities for me to invite her to small group and share my faith. Crazy how He works when you least expect it.

Delirious

delirious (adj): marked by uncontrollable excitement or emotion; ecstatic; filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy (1 peter 1:8); me I don't think I had a personal relationship with God until 2 weeks ago. There have been a lot of formative moments and experiences in the past 6 years of me considering the existence of a higher-being, 3 yrs of being a Christian, 1 year of living by faith, 6 months of serving on church leadership, 1 month of dire circumstances, each of which have been challenged and supported by specific instances in my life.* But it's only been 2 weeks of finding pure joy, satisfaction, and freedom in Christ (alone). Though it's been 6 years since I first stepped into a church building and 3 years since I accepted Christ, I was always afraid to admit that I didn't know what grace, freedom, repentance, or Jesus meant--in terms other than the ones I had heard or read--it was always a theory and never a reality in my own life. After years of doing chur

Surrendering my career

"Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it." The concept of surrendering my career never made much sense to me because I've always known what I wanted to do, and was perfectly en route to achieving it. I thought I was better than everyone else for knowing what I wanted to do. In all frankness, I just thought I was awesome and gave myself credit for every accomplishment in my life. When God directly confronted me last year with how much I had been living for myself, I made all excuses to rationalize and justify myself. Somehow God changed my heart to be willing to let go of my perfect plan and insured that I would never find the type of security and identity that I found through a job title or company reputation. He took me through a whole year of rejections and dejected moments so that I would learn what it means to be satisfied with merely having a relationship with the God of the universe , not just praising Him or want
