Recently, the song, “Beg,” by Shane and Shane has really been tugging at my heart. It’s not even just a couple of lines that I identify with, but every single lyric. This song reminds me that at the end of the day, He doesn’t want my words or deeds, but my heart. He wants my love.

I recently had the privilege of designing the new site for the One in Love (OIL) conference held in Melrose, Pennsylvania. I haven’t actually been to OIL, but I can tell just from the title that it’s a conference with one focus, loving our God. We’re all one church, one body of Christ, one set of people that was made to be madly in love with our savior. From January 6th to 9th, about a thousand people will join together in a cozy gym out in the frigid winter season to praise Him with all their heart, soul, and mind. Through music, fellowship, and a few incredible speakers: Dr. Min Joshua Chung, George Verwer, and Dr. Robert Norris, you’ll get blessed–no doubt. Registration for the conference begins in two days (Nov. 10th). Travel accommodations from various midwest and northeast locations are also listed on the site: http://www.winteroil.org
In case the site isn’t impressive enough 
or you just want more hype for OIL, watch this promo for the conference:
This past week, I had the privilege of designing the flyer for CFC’s upcoming Revival weekend. If you’re around Champaign-Urbana during that time, definitely try and make it out, it’ll be well worth it. I actually made two flyers, only the first one was accepted. I’ll just post both of them for kicks. Don’t pay attention to the info on the 2nd flyer, only the first one is correct.
Whether you’re looking for a revival, reawakening, rejuvenation, resurgence or just a reestablishment of your relationship with God, this is where you should be. No matter where you’re at, if you just open up your heart to Him, the chemistry will…never mind. Just be there! Or if you’re reading this from another city or country, open up your heart to Him again and be revived, wherever you are.
It’s hard to believe that this time a year ago, I was a little over a month into my Freshman year. Done with my first wave of midterms, recovering from my first college sickness, and fully immersed in the small group, large group, weekend event, Sunday service (hopefully) rotation of CFC. Heck, even at the beginning of this year, I was still writing “Freshman” on the activity sign up sheets.
Recently, I came across this video that really took me back to my first days as a Freshman. I think I saw this video at the “How to Survive” event CFC put on at Lincoln Hall, which was held the night after the first day of classes. I even friended the creator of the video, Michael Chang, on Facebook. You can check out his work at bluevisionuiuc.
This past weekend, my church, CFC, held its annual mini-olympics. We’re the biggest church on campus with about a thousand people and seeing everyone from all dorms, ages, and ethnicities (primarily Asian or Pacific islander) compete and cheer each other on was awesome to see. We were so animated that I even saw a caucasian girl from the neighboring soccer game take out her camera phone videotape us. The body of Christ was in full force, even with the frigid weather and obnoxious rain. And even though the competitions consisted of crab walks, hula-hooping, and solving 3rd grade math problems, it was still pretty intense. Still, we knew that from start to finish, God was the only true victor.
