"Follow the trail of your time, your affection, your energy, your money and your allegiance. At the end of that trail, you’ll find a throne; and whatever, or whomever, is on that throne is what’s of highest value to you. On that throne is what you worship."

this picture sums up some of the people that changed my life during my college years. i can’t believe it’s been 2 years since we’ve graduated, and almost 6 since we first met.
our story begins at a dorm called Camino at UCI. i can’t say we all clicked right off bat, but somehow, we worked. of course we had our spiffs, but we shared our glory days with each other. i’m certain that we’ve made each other better people, but as the story of life goes, we’ve all gone our separate ways and are dispersed in all sorts of cities in california.about one year ago, we lost our good friend xai (guy on the way right) in a car accident. i think all of us can agree that xai was one of the greatest people you could ever meet. and i’m not just saying this because most people feel like they should say only nice things about someone once they pass, because that’s just not the case here. in short, he was genuine, vibrant, and dependable. i was always amazed at his skill to help others in whatever it may be. if i needed help in chemistry, he would google concepts of chemistry, learn it, then teach me. his major was computer engineering. xai was just like that. he knew how to capture life and share good with those around him.
my favorite memory of us is when we just chilled in our living room, not doing anything but talking. no music, no board games, no alcohol, no distractions. it was just us in our pure essence. raw and real.
the friendships i built with all of them individually, and our dynamic as a group was the highlight of my college years. it was all too short-lived but maybe that’s the beauty of it. that these seemingly tiny four years of my life will be one of the fondest times of my life.
God definitely knew what He was doing when He brought us together. i don’t believe it was chance, but God’s blessing that such characters would enter my life. i don’t talk to them much anymore, and with some, not at all. but i sincerely love them and my greatest desire for them is to come to Jesus Christ. it’s the only thing i know that has the power to protect them, defend them, and transform them. it’s God’s magnificent love for them.
i won’t ever forget. this may seem like an emo post, but it’s actually one of hope. sometimes great people leave your life, maybe due to long distance or just the everyday busyness of life, but i hope they are all out there making a positive impact in their current niches. i’ve learned to cherish the moments you have to make an impact. and to cherish the people that influence who you will become. to cherish whatever gifts God sends your way, whether they are in the shape of a human being or in the form of an opportunity.
and as usual, when all is said and done, all glory be to God for He is the sole author of our lives.

the little things
reminded that God pays much more attention to the little details in our lives than we think.
all glory to God
