March 2023

Business:

If you haven't heard, the Department of Education is planning on removing language that explicitly protects religious student organizations on campus. This obviously affects FOCUS (and any other religious organization on campus) in a big way! The public is given some time to comment on their proposed changes - which is where you come in! You have until March 24th to leave a comment. If you have a few minutes, I encourage you to click on the link below for instructions to leave a comment!

The most confusing part (if you decide to leave a comment) is the drop-down menu when it says 'What is your comment about?' you would select individual. Meaning, you are an individual leaving a comment, not any specific entity.

We're having our Spring Pizza Theology on April 2nd from 4-9 pm! If you don't know what that is, it's where all of the students (and alumni) from our campuses come together for 2 hours of lecture, an hour of pizza, and then another 2 hours of lecture. It really is an information-packed evening. It will be over (some of) the wisdom literature (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job). I encourage you to come, even just to part of it, if you have the time!

Personal:

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for my eye! I recently had appointments with a new PCP, an eye doctor, and a follow-up with my surgeon. My PCP ran some blood panels and concluded that I need to exercise more (which I only stopped because I couldn't due to my eye injury). The eye doctor said that my eyes looked great and my surgeon said that all we can do is wait for my body to naturally heal. So all-in-all, I'm the best that I can be.

Why are bananas curved in shape?

My mom celebrated her birthday this month and we all got on a video chat! (Peep the Zoom call in the corner.) My niece loves to clap with other people and so she was having a grand time. You'll have to go back (quite) a few blog posts to find when I first got my expander put in... who knew it would take this long for me to get my braces off?? Some friends told me that the braces were a part of my identity, so without them, what am I?! But seriously, eating is SO EASY again. Earlier this month, I got to go on a short trip to Boston with Steph and another couple. It was my first time (that I can remember) going to the East Coast. Being someone who grew up on the West Coast (and even now in Dallas), there has never been a rich history to the places I've been. But it was incredible getting to see the sights and walk The Freedom Trail. Going into Paul Revere's house definitely brought out the kid in me who loved him growing up, simply because we had the same name. Anyways, this ...

November 2023

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope y'all had a wonderful week and got to eat yummy food! :-) It's been a crazy month!! Our church had our annual fundraiser for the kids' ministry. We flew in Iain Provan for a weekend to speak at a joint-church service and Pizza Theology. I got to see a few movies—something that I've not done in a little while. Birthdays, parties, funerals, dinners. And today is Giving Tuesday! (And the month is still not done yet!) If you haven't heard, FOCUS has an annual fundraiser called Keep FOCUS Growing. A generous subset of our supporters has pledged to match over $55,000 in donations that come in during this fundraiser campaign which officially ends today! If you haven't yet, would you consider donating? To learn more and to donate, visit anyfocus.org/kfg ! We will also be posting updates on our Facebook page today. For a taste of what God is doing on our college campuses, read through this short testimony from Josh at UTA that was posted yest...

September 2024

It was my grandpa's 90th birthday and so we all surprised him by visiting Taiwan. The last time we all came back as a family to Taiwan was for his 70th birthday, 20 years ago. Here is a picture of all of us, including my cousins, and our significant others, and children (if applicable). I am so thankful for the opportunity to go back and spend time with my family! Here's the most readily available picture I could find of us, probably around 20 years ago, in my grandparent's house. The angle of the picture is close to the same, the flooring is the same. Not much has changed.
