In my latest blogging venture, I’ll be writing regularly (under the oh-so-original title “Claire’s Corner” – let it never be said I was good at naming things) for RE: NEW‘s website. Renew is the youth-oriented branch of Presence, a San-Diego based Chinese ministry, and its goal is to inspire and provide a forum for Christian middle schoolers and teens.

“I’ve always had big plans for the future. Growing up, I’d always be looking impatiently ahead for the better time that I was sure was coming, the time in a year or so when I’d get a different (better) friend group or get a driver’s license or graduate high school or start college. When all of those things happened, though (plus a lot more), and I got older, I started to realize that life isn’t so much about the future, or about big chunks of time. Life is made up of now, of days.”
