well....i miss everybody.... I got to have dinner with Emily on Friday and we got this super good salad at The Cheesecake Factory. We got tiramisu cheesecake and oh my goodness it was so good I begged my dad to buy us cheesecake....so that's what I'm doing right now....eating cheesecake. ok well I don't have any updated pictures of Halle...our camera wont hook up to the computer for some reason. Halle is 14 months old, but she still isn't walking. I think she can, she just likes being spoiled and people carrying her around and if I was her age, I'm pretty sure I would rather be carried around....so we'll see how long it takes for her to start walking. lol.
I'm making a friend...her name is Kaylyn and she goes to Clovis East....I have an ROP class at Clovis East so I drive out there everyday and hang out with her at lunch....it's kinda fun. She's really cool. How are you guys doing? (Whoever still reads this)? I miss you guys a lot....
Have any of you guys talked to Vivi in a while? I talk to her through email and Instant Messaging. She's kinda discouraged with her parents not being Christians and I feel bad because when I talk to her, she doesn't sound like the old happy Vivi, she sounds kinda sad. So if you guys would want to email her, I'm sure she would love to hear from you guys.... her email address is
kiwwie@live.de.
Ok, hope you guys have a good week!

Ok I don't know if you guys have heard of this girl, but she is amazing! My english teacher gave me her first acoustic album last year and it was great. This is her most recent album. Her name is Brandi Carlile and she has the most powerful yet soft voice in the world. It's acoustic rock and really really good. Just so you guys know....

Phil Wickham
So Phil Wickham's new cd "Cannons" came out today...of course I pre-ordered it and it came in the mail today...so if you were wondering...it is GREAT!!! It's a little different than his first two albums, but still amazing. His second cd (the one with Divine Romance on it) had a lot of worship-like songs... the first 5 or 6 songs are more pop/rock songs and more like drums and electric guitar and the last 5 or 6 songs are like some of the most amazing worship songs.... it's really cool....ooo ooo and I heard some of the songs live and they are soooooo good.... so if anyone wants the cd I will gladly burn it for you... have a good day!

Power of God
Wow....well it's been a long time. Well I'm just astonished at the power of God right now, I mean I know that God is powerful, but like when He does something big...it's so real and well I don't even know, but here's the story:
So because of all the church stuff that's been going on, I knew I wasn't going to CIY and I probably had to work anyway, but I was still holding on to the idea of possibly seeing if someone could like drive me up for a day so I could just go to one worship session, but it just wasn't working out. So it's Sunday after church and (my sister's been begging to go to Red Robin and they were gonna go last weekend but it didn't work out and my dad felt kinda bad, so he offered to take us there and I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but we never go to Red Robin because my dad doesn't like it that much...) we are trying to find a parking spot and I see Channelle and I get out just because you know...I haven't seen her in a while and well, I was excited. So we're in the middle of the street and it's 100 degrees outside,but I asked her if she was going to CIY and she was all "Yeah, I'm leaving tomorrow and coming back Tuesday night". I was getting really excited, but then I remembered work and how impossible it would be to request Monday and Tuesday off on a Sunday....yeah... So I told her I would call her, and I mean you guys know how cool Channelle is... how cool would it be to go to CIY with Channelle?!?...yeah! So I go inside and tell my parents (my parents have been really sad that I couldn't go and like they would do anything to let me go and they knew I was really upset about it) and then I ask (and I don't even know why I even thought of this as a possibility) if I get those days off, if I could go with Channelle to CIY for two days and this was like the most unexpected thing: (you know my parents, they don't just let me just decide to go out of town the day before we leave) my dad said this: "Well...I don't see why not..." I was all smiles....it was amazing, but how in the whole entire world was I gonna get those days off... but I decided that if I didn't get the days off then God didn't want me to go for a reason and if I did it was for a reason too. So as soon as we're done eating we go to Sonic and I beg for the days off and my manager looks at the schedule for like 10 minutes straight and then finally says that I can see if this girl wants to trade schedules with me for Monday, but he couldn't do anything for Tuesday but he'd figure out something, so I came at 5 and asked (well kinda begged) the girl if she would trade with me and she said yes!!!! So I was at 5:15pm leaving for CIY the next day! So I hurry and pack and the next day I'm off to CIY and I had the most amazing time..just seeing why God brought me to CIY and how he didn't want me to stay the whole time, He just wanted me for the two days I was there and in that time I met three new great girls from Hopper's dad's church and I think I'm even gonna go to their church on Sunday night and lead some worship...I'm really excited and they are all very great people... there's Jamie and she's my age, goes to Clovis High, and is just really cool and very easy to talk to; Taylor is 13 and she doesn't talk very much but what I have heard from her is she's very wise for a 13-year-old ( and I didn't mean that like 13-year-olds aren't wise, but you know...); and then there's Kourtnee ( I think that's how she spells it...kinda weird...lol jk) now she's going into the 8th grade and she's 13 but like probably the most mature 13-year-old and really cool (she reminds me of Channelle) she's kinda crazy but she's really cool; ok and then there's Heather and she's their youth pastor's wife and she's really cool and she's all inviting me to come and lead worship and I guess they all sing except for Jamie and it's just really cool. Like they don't even care about what people think, they were all singing together in the dorms, it was just cool. So God gave me some more friends (I've been really struggling with making friends lately) and I got to hear 3 worship sessions (the most awesome and I mean like the real definition of awesome like worthy of awe because of the power of the Spirit of God aww man it was so cool) and this is the first year that I didn't care what anybody thought during worship...just amazing and being able to talk to Channelle and just hanging out with her was great. Now I'm really excited because I'm starting to set up like sheet music for Brandon, Hannah, and Chris and I don't care what they say, we are having a full day of jamming and playing CIY songs...I'm gonna get it all ready so when they come back from CIY and they're pumped up, I'll be prepared. And I've been learning all the CIY songs and playing them and I think Paige really was getting into it and like being eager to learn the songs I was playing and she really likes to sing (at home) so she's been singing them all night...it's really cool. Yeah everything was just good and totally planned out and like I could totally tell that God was there the whole time... like I was talking to Channelle and lost track of time and had to hurry to my elective, but when I got there it had already started and I couldn't just walk in late so I went and did my Day 2 encounter time (because I wasn't gonna be there) and it was just cool seeing all the actual Cal Poly students and praying for them like somehow CIY being there would affect the students in a positive way. So back to the worship, I just feel like now I've been able to rest from being on the worship "team" (because apparently Trinity thinks that the youth worship "team" should be lead by everybody..I'm sorry, but how would that work like think about it what if Brandon and Hannah and Chris and me all like had to talk and equally share the responsibility of worship leading...I'm sorry but it would be a mess... sorry a little rant there) and just worship God and not have to worry about having enough practice or messing up I just got to feel God in a way I haven't felt for a long time now. And then Encounter time was really cool too and I'm kinda excited and bummer because I'm gonna do each one as everybody else is doing them at CIY so it's good because they're really cool, but I don't get the discussion...I'll be ok...lol! It was just funny because I read the first little story think and then I read the verse in the packet and it's Psalm 139 and I just read that like the night before and it REALLY helped me. I don't know, I've just been really seeing God and even before going to CIY or even knowing I was gonna go, just kinda trusting God and wow.....there's a whole lot more, but I've already given you wow...almost two pages if this was an essay...man I wish I had this much interest in my essays... lol...ok well that's the end...have a good day!
