SAFE HAVEN
a safe haven for thoughts
lying on this field
these stars traveling through this sky

the world I know to be true
a safe haven for my thoughts
free of lifes shackles
staring into your eyes
I know it''s true my safe haven is you

"story of our lives" by the echoing green |

I'm having a great week. Mom got a job, and I went to Nagisa's church to see her and Nitya perform a human video. They were awesome. I talked to some of the staff about their church and Bethany college. This girl and I were talking about it for awhile. She goes there and really recommends it. I think I might go there. i dunno we'll see.It's in scotts valley which isn't very far from San Jose.i dunno i'll have ta think about it more.

My feelings flow from my heart
onto this page
I wish I could fly away to another day
a day that when you dont bring me down
but build me up
a better day and a better way to say you love me
in this dream I call life
you seem to be all what I want but you're not
I just want to fly away

I just ate the best japanese food ever. Tengu Sushi has got the best tasting shrimp. man so good. I'm probably going to go see "schultze gets the blues" tonight. Looks good. I got mae's new cd in da mail. It's great. check it out at www.theeverglow.com. So yeah i'm a little tired. I watched Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.I love that show. I was on the verge of tears cause it's so amazing what they do for each family. I'm thinking that some of them are christian. I love it. great show watch it on abc at 8pm. I was looking for colleges and I found one I really like. William Jessup University in Rocklin, Ca. It's a little bit past Sacramento. I really feel like God is leading me in that direction. I totally felt like he was telling me to go there. They just happen to have the major I want( counseling psychology) and it's not expensive and it's a christian college.So yeah It sounds like a good place to go to after CY next year. Anyways i'm a little tired of typing.So i'll catch ya later.

" no stopping us" by Jason Mraz |
] |
This is love : not that we loved god, but that he loved us and sent his son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
1 John 4:10 NIV
yet, o lord, you are our father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.
Isaiah 64:8 NRSV
But thanks be to god, who always leads us in victory through christ.
2 Corinthians 2:14

"tomorrow" by mat kearney |
] |
Open up your mind and Open up your heart
soon you'll find that i'm apart from the rest
not saying i'm the best
just different from the rest
Open up your eyes
look into my eyes
i'm not looking for the ordinary but the extraordinary
and if this messgae touches you to tears
thats one of my fears
i'm looking for a girl that shines like a pearl
not because of all the stuff they have but what they have inside
most importantly god needs to be #1 in her life
if you're looking at this and it doesn't apply sorry girl
i'm not going to lie and say that it could work
i'm not trying to say that i'm perfect
certainly not the best of the rest
of these people that occupy this world

"giving it away" ( acoustic) by mae |
] |
I'm sick. Blahhhhhhhhh. Last weekend was good/not so good. So I got The Getaway: Black Monday for ps2. It's a pretty fun game and a very cool story. Now the bad part. My mom asked my brothers, sister and I what we wanted because she had an appointment to write a will. It was a complete and total shock. Just thinking about it is making me feel sad. When she said that it was like opening an old wound. She told us that her health wasn't that great and that she wanted to get that done. No one wanted to say the word. Die. But we all thought it that she was telling us that she might die soon. Years ago when I had a bad relationship with my mom I said often that I had wanted her to die and now it's like it might happen soon. I dont believe it's my fault but I feel that...I wish that I could do something. Well I know what I can do. Spend time with her and do as much as I can with her. So yeah thats what is going on in my life right now. I'm done with my pl interviews. I think I have a chance. We'll see what happens. see ya later.

" car underwater" by armor for sleep |

So this week so far has been good, hectic, fun and full of work. I had an interviewe yesterday for a Senior Corps Project Leader position. It went really well. I also had a CHAB meeting too it also went well. Though I was tired from the interview and the day in general. I was waiting for the lightrail today and I felt God telling me to talk to and pray for this guy I was sitting next to. So I did and we talked for awhile. Turns out he was also christian. It was an awesome experience that I hope I wont forget. He goes to Calvary Chapel. Today so far has been cool. Me and Austin might go to see "Constantine" tonight. Should be cool.

"promise" by Spoken |

So a lot has gone on since my last entry...My life group has started and it's awesome. We've had our first 2 meeting sbut, i'm confident that God's will will be done, the mid-years arrived and are cool people, totally amazing how someone other than me knows who Mae is( Big Plus Angie, Mae rocks and so do you), I took care of everything that had been keeping me from having a bad year in CY, I'm good..in fact awesome. God has been working on giving me peace and i'm feeling it more now.I have been trying to read my bible more and the rest of the pile of books I have in closet.I'm really enjoying reading them so far.There's nothing like growing closer to god. We just finished Advanced Training Academy.I hung out with everyone and got to know everyone better especially the mid-years. Hopefully I get hired as the heroes program rec.and ret. pl.I would love that. God use me for your glory and so that I may grow in understanding and selflessness. I want to pray for all my family, my friends, my co-workers, those that I have not yet known, and those that I am to meet in the years to come. May you do great work in their lives and whatever my purpose with them I pray that it brings them closer to your eternal peace lord amen.

What a weekend.I can already tell that this week is going to suck.We'll see.Lord make my attitude more optimistic.I swear i'm becoming more and more cynical by the minute.I hate being that way.I hung out at my mom's house this weekend.I didn't really have a fun time there.My mom got drunk through out the weekend.Not fun. My mom and I argued, my brothers argued and shut down.Today is definitely not a fun day.I think i'll be taking care of some things this week.whatever I feel like crap.

So yesterday was a good day. I hung out with Tony and Lynsey. They're both having relationship problems. We gave advice to each other, laughed and ate some good chinese food.I always have a good time with them.So today was un-eventful so far.Tonight is the start of Stage 3 Home Groups. One of them is at my house. Which will be a recurring thing on thursday night's at the andrade household.It should be powerful and a definitely cool atmosphere.Next week the mid-years are coming, and Pedro's coming back so thats awesome.I got a lot of things to do next week. ATA, chab meeting, and a bunch of other things.crazy.beautiful.i'll write more later.
