Live Out Loud

Cathy and I first met when we were in business school together at UM. We had a few classes together but never had significant interaction until our post-college years. Surprised that both of us had decided to stay in Ann Arbor, we began building a relationship over the common bond that Jesus had somehow gripped our hearts to forego our earthly ambitions for an eternal mission. I was so honored to stand beside you as you tied the knot, and am praying for much fruit as you partner with Vic on this lifelong journey. Thanks for always making time for me and being down for random adventures like being my +1 at holiday parties :)

The point in life isn't to do things well, but to ask God, will you help me? A few months ago one of my teacher friends (Irene) told me a story about one of her students, whom she was helping with math homework. The student had a hard time with the math problems, and went to the bathroom often during their session. Irene eventually noticed that the student would go to the bathroom to solve the problem on a calculator, and come back to report the answer. She was so heartbroken that all the student wanted to do was have the right answer, when all she wanted to do was to help. I was so struck by this story because I think that's exactly what I do with God. He doesn't care so much if I have the right answer. All he wants to do is help.
