Jonathan’s Place

Hello hello Welcome to my place! I am glad you are here. Here I will just be posting my personal thoughts, share my experiences, and talk about what I learn/am thinking in each new season of my life. I plan on making this site a safe-place for me to write whatever is on my mind, so I will be pretty open and uncensored here.

Warm regards,

Jonathan Lee

  • How I Want to Approach Senior Year

    A common question that I’ve been asked a few times this summer is “How are you going to approach your last year at Princeton?”  It’s a simple question, but it carries such finality in its words. This is it, the last lap. The last September I’ll step onto campus as a student, the last chance

    2025

    In 1722, Theologian Jonathan Edwards wrote 70 Resolutions for him to accomplish throughout his life. I’ll write a few of them here.  It’s interesting how people nowadays make resolutions compared to Mr. Edwards in 1722. While Jonathan’s resolutions are quite broad and hard to tangibly apply to everyday life,  people today make their resolutions concrete:

    A Week at Kesem

    Last week, I had the amazing opportunity to be a counselor at Camp Kesem, a summer camp for children whose parents have been diagnosed with cancer. The main purpose of the camp, from what I saw, was to give the kids a space to be kids amidst the struggles they face in their daily lives.

    On Time

    Something that I’ve recently wondered about is what makes people so busy all the time: at school, at home, in life, I seem to see all my friends extremely busy with no time to hang out, hit the gym, or and like breathe since they seem to be buried in work.  Like I remember once

  • Improving Myself

    Improving Myself

    So I’ve recently been asking all of my close friends the question: “What is one of my major flaws and what should I do to change for the better?” It’s a delicate question of course, I make sure to give my friends the full chance to be completely honest with me and I let them

  • Responding to Dawkins

    Responding to Dawkins

    So the vast majority of the religious related posts I have made on this site have been mostly critical about Christian doctrine, and I thought I really should switch it up a bit to show that I genuinely do believe in and love Christianity. And thus, I will do my best to make this a

  • A Few Lessons I’ve Learnt from Freshman Year

    Sooo I know that technically, the first semester of college ended back in May, but I’ve basically been taking classes nonstop until the end of July so I am counting now as the “end of the first year” for me. And I wanted to write a blog post about my thoughts on how I’ve grown

  • Testimonies 

    Testimonies 

    When you ask someone to give you their testimony on why they are a Christian, chances are that they will explain to you something along the lines of how Jesus found them in their darkest places, brought them out of despair, and gave them hope for a new life. I’m not going to name names

  • A Problem for Christians

    So as some of you know, I am going to EADs this summer which is a mission trip to Mexico. And recently at one of our trainings, each of our team members were asked to be genuinely honest about how they are doing and what they were feeling. Personally, I don’t really have these conversations

    Life and Updates

    Hello again! It’s been a long time since I made a blog post for my site here. Life so far has been pretty busy as per usual and I just haven’t found the time to sit back and reflect on the lessons I am learning here. So as I am sitting here thinking about what
