First off: Since I am rather uncreative when it comes to blogging topics, Ill try to blog in detail based on any interesting formspring questions I get.

To begin this escapade:

Are you coming back after college?

This question comes at me in two ways:
The person asking the question probably comes from either of these two perspectives:
1. Merced (IV)
2. Socal (HOC)

So will my plans after college be to stay her in Merced where life is simple and quiet or will I return home to sweet southern california where the weather is awesome and the feeling of home fills my bones?

I’ve definitely thought a lot about this matter but I’ve never really done anything concrete to go beyond my thoughts.

I’ve often found it difficult to even consider myself a member of only one of these groups. While I’m in Merced, i find myself reminiscing of awesome bike expeditions in the hills of LA and Irvine.

While being up here, I miss the amazing company of friends who would communally expose every curve of their bodies to the public eye for a collection of unforgetable laughs.

Oh HOC, we have had many grand times. And with those grand moments, I have learned so much.

BUT I cannot overlook those short moments where Im thumping around at home in socal and I feel like my heart is beating to a different rhythm.

Seriously though. Merced has had a pretty epic impact in my life. In the short 2.5 years I’ve been here, I can easily pick out a great lesson I’ve learned from anyone in our family.

My first time being a small group leader; definitely a growing experience. After all, how can being surrounded by troublesome Joshs and stubborn Korean girls not produce endurance (teehee).

Shout out to @ericjung for being the 형 of ages as many would know; a bro whos been here for me time after time willingly or not. This section is dedicated to him, as im sure he could use some loving.

Looking back definitely makes me think about it more, but to answer the question…I honestly don’t know.

My life is so connected and torn between these two worlds that I feel as if it would be wrong to leave one for the other. I sometimes wish my worlds would just collide and everyone would be living awesomely day to day. (Sounds like heaven)

So I guess I don’t know exactly where I’m going in my future. I’m going to have to leave this one up to God. I don’t want to be anywhere I’m not suppose to be.
There is that one famous old quote:

I don’t know what the future holds but I know who holds the future.

Brings a chilling sense of comfort; knowing that though the roads are rough, crazy, and chaotic, were all going to end up exactly where we need to be.

That’s it for now:

Keep the questions coming friends.
