Dear Father, this is your son/
I seek your guidance because I don’t know what I’ve become/
I don’t know I am, Feel like less of a man/
But how can that be if I was led by your hand?/
Was this all part of your plan? Fate? My destiny?/
Am I here because of my actions, or was this always meant to be?/
Maybe this happened because I wasn’t enough or best at something/
Or was it because I couldn’t beat my problems, and as a result, am constantly struggling?/

To express the boundary-breaking nature of God and his explosive grace, “Love Without Borders” was the theme of Agape Week 2010! April 5th-12th was a week of diverse and campus-engaging events ranging from a hip-hop concert to a Q&A about doubt.

We shouldn’t be fooled by the visible tip of the iceberg, but rather look deeper into what lies beneath the surface.
Have you ever thought about the fact that we may not all be here tomorrow? A young boy of seventeen has had to face that fact sooner than he should have, at least in my perspective. His mother passed away from cancer of the breast, liver, and brain. His mother was 42 years old, with plenty of deserved life left to her, and yet, the cancer got the best of her.

He was standing right in front of me, the only other one in the room, but he wasn’t the one I wanted to see. I looked to the window, hoping to glimpse the person I was looking for, but he wasn’t there.
The one in front of me said, “I’m right here.” But I just furrowed my brow. He wasn’t the one I was looking for.

God of Wonders beyond imagination,
Beyond thoughts or ponderings,
Beyond moments or memories;
You’re interwoven meticulously into gorgeous occurrences.
You outshine worldliness; Outdo Yourself on people who continuously condemn Your Holy.

only You.
