Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. Oscar Wilde, De Profundis, 1905 // What if people are God's people? Their thoughts are God's Truths, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

z. day 282 double it up
The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of the Lord blows on it;
surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever.
Isaiah 40:7-8:
If our lives were merely a vapor in the wind, how is it so often we trust our own thoughts, our own experiences, even people around us more so than the Word of our God which stands through the ages of time? Even if I may not initially agree with a command or see the point of it, does it make sense to not follow it?
Been reminded to not waste my precious merciful time here at umich, a life undeserved, a life bought by the blood of Jesus. Striving hard to learn surrender and openness and dependence.
Usual weekly schedule events:
---research, PUBS meeting/projects, life group named Cross-fit, AIV summer sg, sometimes prayer meetings, volleyball, reading (what a great joy), art and design (font project), sermon listening, jdramas, manga, guitaring, hangouts.
