worlds apart.

So yesterday I went to a New Jersey hockey game. Now I’ve been to about thirty games before so this was not a new experience for me. (My dad’s job is amazing at providing free tickets to about any event imaginable, my family just likes hockey). But this time I was paying particular attention to the crowds around me. I was sitting in a section reserved especially for specific people and had access to all the food and drink we wanted. And it struck me then the difference between the people I was sitting with then and the people I will be sitting with in just a few days in the Philippines. And it made me wonder what world I fit into. Do I fit into the world where people pay two hundred and fifty dollars for two hours of entertainment, or the world where people work every day just to pay for the next day’s meal? I wonder if I can fit into both, or if I want to fit into either at all?

CHRISTmas

So I don't know about you guys, but for me this year, I am not in the Christmas spirit at all. Usually around this time, I am so happy and excited for Christmas and my birthday, but its the total opposite this year. I have no idea why.

The other thing that has been bugging me for a few years is that, why does there always have to be a Christmas tree? Why don't people use nativity scenes? Yes, I understand that Christmas has really lost its meaning but we as Christians need to remind the world, what the true meaning of Christmas is.

Luke 2:1-20

"our" journey...

Why "our" journey? We are two people; Katie and Bruny, who decided to have one blog. We met each other last year at Philadelphia Biblical University. When I had first met Katie, I did not know our friendship would grow to what it is now. I am so glad and blessed to have her in my life, she is such a great friend! I am very excited to see how this blog works out as both of us will write it.

every time i hear this song, it reminds me of you!


peace for now :)

Sometime friendship is unpredictable but then again occasionally friendship comes at the exact moments that we need it to. My first impression of Bruny?---- Well I am afraid that her traditional Indian outfit gave me the impression that she might not be that familiar with the U.S. Basically I judged the book by its cover. My roommate introduced me to Bruny as her “Indian friend” so I thought that maybe this “Indian friend” might need someone to help her. And how shocked was I to find that she spoke perfect English and had lived in the States almost her whole life. Turned out I needed her more then she needed me.

This is gonna be fun.
