Week One

Well, it's the end of week 1.

For those of you who have no idea what I'm

talking about - that means that it's the end of

week one out of ten weeks in the quarter.

Yes, I'm 10% done with my first quarter at

UCLA. Quick, huh?

This week has been a little chaotic,

I got a taste of what a full load will/does

look like. And let me tell you, it is a little

(or a lot) overwhelming (depending on the day).

At this point, I think that I can handle it. But I know for

sure that the Lord will sustain me. He already has.

So this week, as I was walking home from class, I saw a table

on Bruin-walk with signs and two guys sitting behind it.

The signs said "religion is for the weak". As I walked past,

I thought more and more about it. And you know what?

I totally agree.

Religion, specifically Christianity, is for the weak.

Weak of body, weak of mind, whatever. We are

depraved - the very essence of weakness. Christ

didn't come for perfection, he came for the broken.

And you know what? I'm perfectly content to be

weak. I'm happy because Christ's strength is

perfected in our weakness. He is glorified.

And that? That's enough for me.
