2 years down the road and this is my coach. This was our 5 lined conversation. No joke.

Holler if You Hear Me
~ Just a short break from studying/reading.
Maybe it's me actually teaching, and having taught, in the Southeast San Diego "ghets." But God has definitely given me a heart to desire and pursue a career in teaching in urban schools. Difficult students, and low pay doesn't sound very enticing for the most part, but I mean if you want to be a teacher, you definitely ain't doing it for the money right?
I don't know what I'm getting into, and I don't know even know if I'm really going to do it just yet, but getting back into tutoring/teaching in SE San Diego this quarter really is exciting and I'm looking forward to these next 5 weeks.

Super Rejection.
Got super pwned by my mom after I asked for down for you: http://bit.ly/c4lBp3 or http://bit.ly/9DtQPX or http://bit.ly/aApXXK or http://bit.ly/bQmy6n.
Conversation went a little like this:
Me: Hi Mom, whatre you doing? Hows it going?
Mom: It's good I'm at Big Lots.
~small talk for about a minute~
Me: So, I was wondering.... can we get a dog?
Mom: WHAT?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!
Me: ...hmm
Mom: Who do you think will for the dog food? And takes care of Lucky when you're not home?
Me: I'll pay for the dog food.
Mom: Okay. good.
Me: So can I?
Mom: Nope.
In summary, I ended up not being able to get the dog... and I have to start paying for Lucky's dog food. My mother is quite the tricky one.
And while typing this up I just got pwnd by JY too...
Gotta love my fam.

Neverending...
...transformation.
This past week has been a complete transformation in my life. From a period of brokenness and in desperate need of a healing hand, to the point of an utmost praiseful heart for the Lord, I've come a long way in a short week.
This school year has been quite a battle, from struggles of my mind to the struggles of my heart, I started to dread my drives back to San Diego. The times that I used to look forward to spending with the Lord seemed to just disappear. The relationships that I used to treasure started to be lost. Life started to slip into oblivion, things didn't matter anymore.
It's funny cause after a certain while, things got better again, and the Lord brought me to a realization that it's time for me to step it up. I realized I needed to step it up to a point where I would just have everything revolve around my Love of the Lord. And after a week of daily prayer sessions, my life started to reform. In a sense it started to feel like I was saved again, but not really cause it was at a point where I just felt on a whole different level... a lot better.
Neverending is also one of my favorite David Crowder songs, short but sweet, makes me all happy when I listen to it. Random fact, on my way back to home I had a crazy worship time with the Lord blasting David Crowder songs and dancing in my car.
Day 4 into my 365 I'm feeling good about it, I've been so encouraged by responses and stuff. I just hope and pray that my 365 wouldn't be for ritual sake but because I really care for people and my relationships.
...always you will never end because you're always neverending... haha

My Project 365
As I sit here in the prayer room in the midst of other brothers, sisters, and the Holy Spirit, I suddenly had the confirmation to pursue this 365 project.
Inspired from my good friend Annie Hall and her photo a day 365 I first was inspired to pursue a 365 a couple weeks ago while praying and waiting on the Lord in this prayer room. I knew that I wouldn't be able to do a photography 365 (since I'm not a photographer), I started to pray about what I could do for 365 days. And after much prayer and deliberation, after talking to fellow brothers and sisters, and finally receiving the long awaited confirmation from the Lord through the prayer "do not fear, because fear will only hold you down." And so I know that it is time for me to put my thoughts and words into action. Recently I've come to realize that the words that come out of my mouth aren't always the most glorifying of the Lord. I can be pretty flirtatious many times, I can say mean jokes (that I don't really mean), I can use my tongue unglorifyingly. And recently I made a commitment to being more encouraging and less flirtatious in my speech and my action. My 365 has similar intent, except instead of me just being encouraging whenever I am around people, I will encourage people even when I am not around them.
For the next 365 days I will send an e-mail a day to encourage someone. Simple as that, yet, it's such an intense realization that in 365 days I might possibly be looking at 365 e-mails conversations a day with fellow brothers and sisters. An intense, but surprisingly satisfying thought that hopefully through one of these e-mails I will be able to bless at least one person.
April 14th, the first day of my 365. Please keep me accountable, keep me in your prayers that this would be a commitment that I will hold and fight for. And keep a look out in your mailbox for an e-mail!
for the Kingdom.
