1. How has God used this past year of leadership to refine your character? Or, what is one thing that God has done IN you?

I’ve become more aware of my environment. My actions affect a lot of people. God has humbled me to think of others before myself. I’ve learned to be more intentional about my relationships. There’s a two-way traffic. For a period of time, I didn’t put much effort in maintaining my relationships. He’s made me more aware of the fact that people don’t think the same way I do. In turn, they can’t read my mind. Therefore, I need to express myself more to provide input and also practice communication.


2. How have you seen God work THROUGH you to minister to others?

He’s given me a lot more patience. I’ve been trying to maintain a lot of accountability with my sisters. I check up on them every once in a while to see if they’re emotionally drained and whatnot. And try to figure out how to pray for them and console them. I have this thing of praying for people that pop into my head. For instance, I’d walk to class and see someone that I know, wave, and start praying for them in my head.


3. What are you hoping will happen in you by continuing to lead?

I want to challenge and be challenged. It feels like I’m at a plateau reaching for something higher. But I don’t have an escalator or a flight of stairs to walk on towards the destination. I’ve noticed that AFC has become so activity oriented that there’s not much time to rest. I hope that people don’t think AFC is like the other student organizations where everyone meets to socialize but a place for spiritual revival.


4. What have you done to deepen your relationship with Jesus over the past year?

I journal whenever I have a lot of things on my mind. It helps me in prayer as well. Whenever I see that I have a flaw, I pray that God would help me rid of a sin or strengthen me to be more Christ-like. I’ve been through a lot of trials in terms of leaning into God rather than depending on myself. It’s been hard to focus solely on Jesus. There are a lot of distractions.


5. What are some dreams that you have for our community of AFC?

The future of AFC lies among the future leaders. I hope that we’ll focus more on quality, not quantity. I want people to feel challenged at the end of large group or small groups; Challenges for each individual or as the body of believers.


6. Evaluate the health of AFC in following areas: (You will probably have more to say than others).

Grace: In general, our community is very gracious. Whenever people need a run to Wal-Mart, those who have cars help out. For me, it’s hard for me to forgive. I hold grudges relatively long. On my part, it’s hard for me to give grace in that area. The leaders are always willing to help out. I know I’m always there for those that call on me. People ask others how they are doing; they show concern.
Community: We’re very social. I think as a whole, we know how to socialize and have fun. I noticed that some people feel left out at times. People have approached me and candidly expressed that AFC tends to be too exclusive. On Baylor campus, we’re not really involved in engaging among the student body.
Prayerful dependence: I know that as leaders, we try to get together each Saturday to pray with each other. However, I don’t know much about prayer within the body. We pray for dinner and such. But for each other? Not that I know of.
Witness: We tend to be obnoxious as a group. It doesn’t seem like we are considerate of outsiders. We’re so focused on establishing a core group within that it’s hard to outreach.
Multi-ethnicity: On a superficial level, we have an eclectic group of Asians (Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese) and a few friends of friends that are Mexican or Caucasian.


7. AFC serves the campus through small groups, large group, outreach, and prayer ministries. What type of ministry would you like to be involved in (from among those listed, or add a new one)?

I’d like to do prayer ministry.

8. What are your plans for the summer? Who will you be living with next year?

I’ll be working in Houston as an intern. I will also be taking a few classes at the community college. I’ll be living with Hanna Lee and Christian Alvarez.


9. Are you planning on going to REC Week, May 19-25?

Yes, I do plan on going to RecWeek.

the more i know, the more i want to learn.

I've realized that the key to learning material is that you have to be interested in the material. In order to be somewhat interested in the material, you need to have exposure to the material. Economics is now interesting to me because i understand it. Last year, economics was just a bore to me. I slept in class. I slept while studying. Garner was a nice guy but he just talked way too much.

I think another thing is that i need to be challenged. If i'm not challenged, i won't be motivated to work hard. I have a bet going with Andrew where the person who gets the lower test grade in PolySci has to treat the higher grade to dinner. I studied and i did better than i did last time. whee.

yay for studying...kinda

sidenote: robert is a jerk.
