I Hate Everything (But You).

My hair is freaking out of control. I've never had it this long and it's nearing hippy status. Not really. Anyways, I had a very interesting day today. Today was Sunday. Here's how my Sundays go: Wake up @ 6:30, pick up Luke, set up band junk before 1st service, 1st service, J-High service, core groups, J-High staff meeting @ Kevin's house, college small group @ C.J. & Renee's house, hang out with college small group guys until the wee hours of the morning. Granted, today was a bit different. I felt horrible after we played during 2nd service. I came in with this attitude that I was just like a veteran at this and that I was like completely ready regardless of what went down and I was totally humbled, yet again. I like how C.J. put it, "Guys like us always feel like God is lucky to have us... we're wrong." It's never fun to have things not go your way in front of everyone. I feel like my gifts are definitely being put to good use at Highlands, but I'm so vulnerable there all the time. That's one thing that sucks about where I'm at right now. I have such an influence in these kids' lives, but I still don't have my act as together as it should be. I'll get better. I keep saying that. After our staff meeting, I had a photography gig for another band. It was lame though, all of these guys who know me through church stuff feel comfortable not paying me for what I'm doing for them. I always assumed it was common courtesy for something like that. I guess it'll be my donation to their cause. Whatever. Anyways, I got back to Manzy around 7 and took a nap (yeah, a nap) until 10, I've been studying for my CIS test, it seems simple, but I know it'll probably be one of THOSE tests. You know what I mean. Mariana's fantastic. It's tough though. She calls everyday and we talk for literally hours (I'm thinking my parents are going to be suprised @ my phone bill this month) but I just can't be with her like either of us would like for at least a few months. It's sad, but I want her to follow through with the commitments that shes made. I have so much work to do in the next three days, you would not believe. I have about 4 hours of English work to do tomorrow in a 3 hour span of time. It's fun. Goodnight children.

After looking at your newest band post, your personality and heart show through what you do -even if you think it mediocre,I think its incredible. Also, the honor you are showing towards Mariana in waiting is admirable. Not many 18 year old college students would go for that. I sure love you. Hang in there, you're doing great...it takes a while to get the hold of, really.
You are always welcome to come to Campus Crusade for Christ on Wed.'s @ 7:30 in the MU. It is alot of fun and you really get to reach out to people.
