Regret. Frustration. Anger. Sadness. Depression. The list went on, as I felt like I was falling deeper in my sins. From the moment I woke up to the moment I fell asleep, my mind and heart were overcome with burdens. I did not want to live another depressing day. Another day where I failed again…

In Honor of My Grandfather It’s amazing how forty-five minutes can completely transform your life. I played every note of my senior recital with incredible passion – an ability I never knew I was capable of. Nevertheless, the transformation was not only the forty-five minutes of my violin playing in Paul Hall, The Juilliard School.…

Something that I have been thinking about lately, what does it mean to surrender? Matthew 14:22-33 I am still learning how to surrender all to God. I doubt most of the time, even without knowing.
