EPIC Challenge (Day 12):
How have you changed over the past semester
Opening up and practicing vulnerability has made a huge difference. I never did it before college. I hated and was scared of letting people in on my life, my beliefs, my struggles, anything that had to do with myself on a more meaningful level, because it meant I had more reflecting and correcting work of my own, and with that, responsibility and...

EPIC Challenge (Day 11):
Name 5 of your strengths/things you like about yourself
1. I’m fine being alone and hermiting. I imagine life would be a lot harder if I always had to be with others.
2. The international childhood and experiences placed me with countless irreplaceable people I never would have met if I’d grown up sheltered.
3. I’ve got relatively secure and agile limbs, so I don’t injure myself a lot.
4....

alone, not lonely
No, I don’t want to play nor have I really felt the need to reconnect with acquaintances, old or new, since coming back. That bright yellow ball of yarn is enticing, but not quite enough to lure me out from the comforts of my quiet, singular life at home. Here, I am alone but not lonely, and it feels right.
I do maintain a substantial number of connections, but it’s different in...

EPIC Challenge (Day 10):
What are your love languages? (touch, time, service, gifts, words of affirmation)
Words: When it comes to encouragement, I’m so up for anything from scripture to simple notes, letters or posts. These are instant defense mechanisms I remember while seeking comfort, in contrast to tangible gifts. The sensation of dwelling in the affirmation of someone, be it God or people, and their genuine...

EPIC Challenge (Day 7):
Take a picture with your family. What do you miss most about them?
I miss the peacefulness of home. Since it’s just us three, my parents and I are used to a quietly content atmosphere in the house. I can honestly say that I can’t recall the last time I felt dull or alone here, and yes, it’s good to be back.
(The only picture I could find was this one- our family is in white. It was...

Who from EPIC would you want to be stranded on an island with and why
In terms of survival, Janet is a safe bet as our (mine and Sara’s) dear Maximus. I can hunt on horseback and have some reliable form of transportation on said island. Emily works too, but solely for dance parties and other entertainment purposes.

Name 5 things God taught you this semester
1. God is not mine to come and go to as I please. If He isn’t always my first, instinctive line of defense, what little faith and trust I have left can’t be placed in anything else and that scares me.
2. He is such a gentleman and will not force a way into my life. Instead of expecting some sort of “divine intervention” it’s completely and utterly my...
