Not everyone on my blog may be interested in reading the fanfics I wrote for Zutara Week 2013. Still, I figured it'd be good if I compiled the links to all of them. Of course, I have no rights or claims to the characters, but it is a cool experience to try and get in... Continue Reading →
Couch Potatoes Anonymous
Oh hey! Did y'all know I have an unhealthy addiction to television shows? Well-written ones, mind you. I'd laugh, but it really is a terrible thing for a college student. I have far too many. I watch them when I fix my meals and sit down to eat. If I can't keep up that way... Continue Reading →
“Guidance, Worship, & Celebration” Haiku Series
The last three spiritual disciplines were discussed as our internship winds down. To be honest, the poems haven't been as easily inspired as they were when we began. I am becoming very tired. Still, I strive to be creative, even in a study time. Hopefully everyone will enjoy them. Sharing your vision Allows critiques to... Continue Reading →
Fan Fiction FTW? (Or WTF?)
Let's be completely honest: most fanfiction is complete and utter crap. I'll be completely honest: I'm not big on the genre. I mean, to each their own. You like fan fiction? Great! All power to you. I just never much got into it and I certainly never wrote it. The biggest reason for that, though,... Continue Reading →
“Service and Confession” Haiku Series
Covered in discussion by both Lauren and Lisa, these two disciplines resulted in a lot of conversation. I think most of the group is amused that, instead of taking notes, I write haikus. Same, same, but different, right? Basically. No point standing back When there is need for service, We must step forward More than... Continue Reading →

Led by Meredith, Mama Zone, and Julia, these discussions help us grow as interns while we daily strive to serve. Reach simplicity Stripping the material To... Continue Reading →
“Fasting and Study” Haiku Series
Inspired by the equipping lessons at my summer internship. These discussions were led by Emily and Mahya respectively. I just can't help writing about some of the awesome topics we discuss. Still, I apologize for the haiku spam: After our hunger Satisfy our ev'ry need Let us break our fast Emotions surface Our personal weaknesses... Continue Reading →
“Meditation and Prayer” Haiku Series
Another series of haikus based on our spiritual discipline equipping time in Thailand. These were inspired by two studies combined, led by me and Aryn: Eyes closed to the world Mind open to more than just Possibilities No hidden secrets Addressing what is within Not problems without Retreating into An inner sanctuary A part of...

“Burning to Be with Him” Haiku Series
A series of haikus based on our equipping discussion this morning (other series may follow): Choosing in or out Hovering at the threshold Decisions to make Cannot move our feet We are pulled this way and that Conflicted longings Fear overwhelms us Better than risk is safety Back the way we came Closer than before...

Pruning a Plant (Or Weed-Whacking It)
I always dreaded the editing process. Not that I'd ever actually gone through it with a full-length project. In ways, I was right to fear it. The editing process is scary because I know I'm going to have to take crap and make it coherent. Not to mention, it involves much more critical thinking than... Continue Reading →
