I don’t know the exact moment in particular when I first met Caleb Lin or when we became good friends for that matter. The first memory of Caleb came from Sam when we were having a lunch together when I was just getting into PC and Sam was talking about how good looking and amazing Caleb was (no homo). Nonetheless, we became good friends despite the fact that I knew very little about him and he knew very little about me besides what goes around on the gossip vine.
Early Impressions (I think he was leading worship for PC1 when everyone still went to PC1)
1. Wow he’s good looking
2. He’s good looking
3. He has the voice of angels
4. He lives with purpose
As one of my coworkers said, “Caleb has really soulful eyes. There was something always different about him”
And I agree with the latter part, wholeheartedly (sorry, you don’t have soulful eyes). There is something different about Caleb Lin. One big memory that rocked me so hard was when we were all playing basketball at Wooden. Mike Han had just injured his ankle. While everyone passively didn’t know what to do, Caleb just commanded that we pray for Mike and his ankle, even amidst playing with non-Christians. It hit me so hard because he was one of the first people I’ve ever met that lived out his faith in God outside the church and in the world.
Another thing that always stood out about Caleb is that he always redirected people to purpose. I’m pretty sure everyone’s heard a pep talk from Caleb talking about what a prayer meeting or worship night should be about and we even make fun of him with impressions. But seriously, he’s a guy that will live purposefully in the things he does.
Girls (and guys) draw near to him not just because of his looks or voice, but because of his raw passion for the Lord in everything he does. Not only does he love God, but he’s a lover of people. I’ve seen countless times where people would be so sad or emo and have a 1-2 hour talk with Caleb and be happy in the end. I know it’s happened for me many times.
You don’t know how much I look up to you. You’re like an older brother to me.
Have a great one, Belac
