There is No Random: Hello World
http://erinwest01.blogspot.com/2014/09/hello-world.html
There is No Random. Monday, September 1, 2014. Wow, I don't even know what to say. It's been two years (and remarkably Blogger hasn't changed! How do I even begin to describe to you what life has been like? At first I didn't know what to say, so I didn't post. Then it got to be so long that it seemed like too much of an ordeal to try to update. Then I forgot about it all. And now it's rediscovered. Have you ever rediscovered a journal that you wrote years ago? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

There is No Random: Devotion
http://erinwest01.blogspot.com/2012/08/devotion.html
There is No Random. Friday, August 31, 2012. And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the LORD sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. So take this seriously. The LORD has chosen you to build a Temple as his sanctuary. Be strong, and do the work.". What has the Lord chosen you to do? By telling a "white" lie?

There is No Random: Bullet Points: Sep 2012-2014
http://erinwest01.blogspot.com/2014/09/bullet-points.html
There is No Random. Thursday, September 4, 2014. Bullet Points: Sep 2012-2014. What do you do when you haven't updated a blog in two years? Bullet points of randomness! But my blog title doesn't allow that. bullet points of unmethodological order or topic! I graduated from UCL! The arduous thesis journey ended! I've moved into what was Kira's apartment, which is awesome because it's better than the ones I've had, but I wish she were still here this year! My Chinese is way better than it used to be. I ran...

There is No Random: March 2012
http://erinwest01.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
There is No Random. Monday, March 12, 2012. Something that stood out to me while reading my Bible the other day:. And when he took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders. Fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp,. And they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God's people.". OUR PRAYERS used as incense. As an offering. As a pleasing sacrifice. The perfume exhaled from some spices and gums when burned; broadly. So incense is supposed to smell good.

http://erinwest01.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
There is No Random. Monday, October 31, 2011. But those who die in the Lord will live;. Their bodies will rise again! Those who sleep in the earth. Will rise up and sing for joy! For your life-giving light will fall like dew on your people in the place of the dead! For he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. The Lord gives his people strength. Psalm 29:1-2, 4, 10-11.

There is No Random: April 2012
http://erinwest01.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
There is No Random. Tuesday, April 10, 2012. YOU DON'T LET ANYTHING GET IN THE WAY OF YOU FULFILLING YOUR PURPOSE. What is your purpose? To glorify God's name. Do you magnify Christ in your life? That is, do you bring Christ closer? Do you bring honor to his name? Do you live for his glory? GOD PUT YOU SPECIFICALLY WHERE YOU ARE AND YOUR PURPOSE IS TO MAGNIFY CHRIST HERE AND NOW. Who are you encouraging? PURPOSE YOUR HEART FOR CHRIST BECAUSE THAT'S THE REASON YOU'RE HERE. Monday, April 9, 2012. Guess wha...

There is No Random: February 2012
http://erinwest01.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
There is No Random. Tuesday, February 28, 2012. London Adventures: Feb 13-26. I'm now more than halfway through my last semester of my masters! Four weeks left. The end of April after Easter break will involve turning in an essay and taking two exams for the start of 'third term' but that's all. I've gotten my full 20 hours in these past few weeks. It's probably contributing to the tiredness, but I'll be glad to get that paycheck! We've had our games cancelled the past three weeks. The first two were...

There is No Random: China Stories
http://erinwest01.blogspot.com/2015/06/china-stories.html
There is No Random. Friday, June 12, 2015. Well here we are again. It's been a long time. For those of you who don't know, I'll be flying out of China on a one-way ticket this summer. I'll depart Hong Kong for London on July 15th, London for Iceland on August 3rd (because why not? And Iceland for Washington, D.C. on August 7th. It's like a nice little backtracking of my past four years abroad (except for Iceland, but hey you've got to do new things). Whole grain toast, clothes made for someone who isn't ...

There is No Random: June 2015
http://erinwest01.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
There is No Random. Thursday, June 18, 2015. After naming a lot of things I'm looking forward to in the States in my previous post it is probably appropriate to make a list of the top five things I'm going to miss about China (in no particular order except the first one). 2 Cheap fresh fruits and vegetables of a large variety. 3 The challenge of living in a foreign language environment. 4 Cheap and efficient rail networks. 5 Real Chinese food. Friday, June 12, 2015. I'm super excited to see all of you, r...
