The Mixed Tape: The Wait →
cupkaye:
I will meet you. I don’t know when, but I will and when I do, I’ll do back flips and sing Spanish love songs and shower the world with molten chocolate. But before that a disclaimer: I regretfully admit that my heart hasn’t been kept at its best state for you. I’ve subjected it to a number of burns that even the most skillful heart doctors can’t amend. There are bruises, scrapes and...

Today's Must-Read: "Be Able to Walk Away"
“In any kind of negotiation, your ability to walk away is your strongest tool.
Those who can walk away from the negotiation — legitimately walk away, not just make a show of it — are in the strongest position. Those who are convinced they need to make the deal are in the weakest position.
This is true of negotiating when you’re buying a car, closing the sale of your new home, haggling in a...

“I want to travel the corners of the world. Err, scratch that. Corners of the world sounds like the places people barely go to when they travel. I’m a mainstream girl, and honestly, I want to go where the wave usually is. I want to go back to the States and stay there for at least an entire month. Ideally, on my own so no one will bother me. So I can pretend as if I have all the...

Hong Kong 2012 - Day 1/5
Because I rarely do anything ahead of deadline, I once again packed for this trip the last minute, keeping me awake until past midnight last night. Considering my flight was at 7:55 in the morning, my procrastination caused me to wake up 30 minutes later than 5, which couldn’t have given me much time allowance to begin with. Then again, my mom was also slow and late, so even if I woke up early, it...

Today's Must-Read: WAS I WRONG ABOUT DREAM GIRLS? →
“Perhaps God puts in our most intimate relationship to show us what he wishes to extract from us – the ugliness we wish to conceal. To put it more plainly: God uses marriage to make us more holy than he does to make us happy. That’s not to say that the two are mutually exclusive, that you can’t be holy and be happy, I was just trying to say that there should be a priority in how we choose...

Today's Must-Read: ON BEING MARRIED IN COLLEGE! →

emilyruthwest asked:
Hey Lee! I was told to pick your brain about something… what are your thoughts about college students being married? Let’s say around senior year/just out of undergrad school. I want your full, honest opinion. On two students who are in love, live for Christ, and have briefly discussed the option and are searching for the advice of others. Give me all you’ve...

Today's Must-Read: "THE PROBLEM WITH NEW" →
“There’s an excitement that comes with getting something new. It’s fresh. It’s shiny. It’s untainted and idealized. When something is new, it exists as a symbol of hope—of what could be—without the blemishes of time and use. We’ve all been there before, putting hope in something new: buying a new Bible hoping it will reignite a pursuit of God, purchasing the newest Apple product...
