Clear Lake
Sunday after church I headed for clear lake with my sisters, Sierra and Jazzmine. We drove for like 3 hours. It was beautiful. This was my first time driving through Calistoga. It was super dope! I just got a new ipod input for my car, so i had my tunes the whole trip and I was lovin it!
When we got there, Jazzmine's mom came and picked her up and then Sierra went to my aunts with my cousin Samantha. I went to church with my grandma. IT wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. We got there kinda late. They were singing hymns and stuff. The song leader was the Pastors son. He was 23, but I dont remember his name. It was more of a study class than it was really a church service. There were two younger guys there named Kyle and Hunter. I guess Kyle does the sound system at his church. He goes to a Baptist church.
I noticed that they keep track of the attendance and the offering right in the front of the church it listed it. I didnt like that very much. My grandma goes to Church of Christ and I think they are kinda weird and legalistic. I think maybe my grandma may have been like kicked out of a church before for not paying her tithes right oir something. Well thats what I had heard before. idk. It was just odd being there. I didnt notice anything being said that was iffy or different from my own beliefs.
THat night we came back and went to my aunt Pams place. We ate pizza and salad. I read my twilight book for a while then we went back to my grandma's place. Bedtime.
The next day we went to the movies. Aunt al, Pam, and I went to see The secret life of Bees, and Samantha and Sierra went to see Twilight. The movie was hecka good. I must say that I did cry like 3 times though. I didnt like that very much. And in the movie they were like worshipping a black Mary statue. I didnt liek that very much that they were worshippoing a false idol. Lame. After the movie we went to the grocery store and I walked around. There were hecka cute guys there! =] Then we went home.
When we got home I went for a walk down to the lake by myself. It was so beautiful right at the sunset. The water was so clear and the sky was shades of orange, blue, and pink. I sat on my skateboard by the water and just prayed for a while. Then I sang some worship songs, regretting that I didnt bring my acoustic guitar along. It was so beautiful up there. I actually could see myself living there. I dont resent the place as much as I once did.
Later we all were at my grandmas for dinner. I guess she burnt the ham, but I still thought it was pretty good. Then again we went for a walk up the hill; Sam, Sierra, and I. We got maybe 50 feet up the hill and then they got scared and wanted to go home. Them sam fell and scrapped her knee. Lame.
The next day I woke up and we went to the chicken farm. Then to the recycle place, and then to Wal-Mart. I bought some tech decks. When I say some, I mean 12. YES, I bought 12 little skateboards. lol. It was an impulse buy, but I only spent 20 bucks... =]
We got home and my aund had made spaghetti... My favorite! I took the kids to the lake for a while and we were looking at the dead fish and skipping rocks and stuff. It was pretty cool. Then we cambe back to eat and then Sierra and I were on the road. Nice drive back.
On my way home, I was texting my bff April and she told me that they were getting carpet put in at 8am the next morning... I really didnt want to get up early the next day! Sierra had been keeping me up all night every night talking to me and annoying the crap out of me!! lol. Then April told met that I couldnt take a shower either!!! I wanted to die. I hadnt showered while I was in Clearlake because the bathroom was hecca nasty... but then that was it... .I didnt wanna go home. LAME!
So I went to my moms house for a while... It smelled so bad like smoke. When I left, i reeked of nasty ciggerette smoke. I called Jocelyn and told her I was spending the night there. So I took a shower when I got there and went to bed.
Now today I have been at the Garibays all day. Good day. Just been chiilling. I love days liek this. I went home for like 30 minutes to get new clothes and came back here. Im going to the paper rout with Aurther in the morning. We'll see how that goes...
Oh and I must say, the new carpet is beautiful!!! I heck of love it! The house smells like new house though. I dont like that smell... yuck! Oh well. Im off to go annoy Jocelyn for the rest of the night and try to talk her into going to do the pepers with us. It will be fun!

I love my God, my fam bam, and my life.

Aye
So, after doing some recuperating and getting my act together... Here are my plans...
I am going to the Desperation Leadership Academy in Colorado starting January 2010. Its gonna be off the heezy! lol. Im super stoked. For the fist time ever, I feel 100% that this is where God wants me to go. Here is a video of what it may look like for me:
So here is my plan:
The cost for the internship is only $5500. That includes everything... A place to live, my food, a mission trip, all my classes and books, laundry, EVERYTHING for 8 months. (Jan-August)
I am going to do a paper route to raise this money. Ill get about $1000 a month. Its going to be hard. Ill be tired. But in the end it will be all worth it.
I got nothing to lose and everything to gain. I mean, look at my life... I have everyone I know cheering me on. They love me and want the best for me. I want to make them all proud. I dont have a boyfriend or husband or any of that to hold me down. I am free to do anything God wills me to do without holding back. I have no ties down. Going to this is perfect. I want to know God better than ever before and have a lasting realtionship with Him. Going to this will help me. Grow me. Then I can come back and be a stronger leader than ever before. YEE!
One day this will be me in a video!
Wellt thats all for now. Im super juiced. Seeya Beeya!!

My concert!!!
Friday Night= THE BEST!!!
So I took the day off of work to go to the best concert in the world...
1. A Current Affair
2. The Wedding
And another band called Wavorly, but we didnt stay for them...
=]
We (Brendon, Jocelyn, Jazz, Eddie, and I) drove like 2 and a half hours to Orangevale, CA. It was past Sacramento. We were in hecka traffic. We got to the church right when the first band was going to start. YES!
ACA was first. We were in like the 2nd row (me and Joc). It was so flippin awesome! Me and Jocelyn knew all the words so the singer Jordan, kept pointing at us! Dude, if you havent listened to this band, you HAVE TO! Especially if you are Christian. Look up their lyrics and I am positive that the songs will touch you. LOVE IT!
Then for the Wedding. They had a new lead singer and I didnt know how I was going to feel about it. He was cool though. I guess he broke his arm doing paintball. Or actually his collar bone was broken in like 5 different places. Ouch! Anyways, they were pretty dope. We were in the very front row. And since this is my ultimate favorite band, I knew all the words. The singer put the mic to my mouth and let me sing part of the song... ONLY ME! Yeah Im special... =] It made my day. I jokingly told brendon that we would be so close that the band would be spitting on us, but actually that did happen... Dude it was sooo flippin awesome!!!
I miss going to concerts all the time. I love music. Its the best thing ever! It makes me happy!
I start coaching softball the week after thanksgiving... I'm pretty stoked. Its been a while, but I have God with me... Ill do just fine.

My Commitment as a Christian
I’m a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit Power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I’m a disciple of His. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I’m finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.
My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won’t give up, shut up, or let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problems recognizing me – my banner will be clear!

Yikes!
So today I'm just going to say whats on my mind... Let it all out. I guess that's what I always do anyway.
Im going through some stuff right now. Its' not too difficult. I know the right thing to do, but what if I don't want to do the "right" thing? Its complicated. Ultimately, I want to do the right thing because I dont wanna be regretting things later, but its just tearing me apart.
And then there is this whole dating crap. To wrap it all up, I dont trust God. This is what it all boils down to. How do I know that there really is one person out there for me. I have this whole idea and picture of what love is or what I think it is supposed to be, but what if it doesnt work out the way i think it should or is supposed to? No one is perfect, me included, so why would it be okay to be waiting around for the "perfect" man to come around and sweep me off my feet? What am I supposed to do?
I dont freaking know. I dont want to screw anything up. I want to be closer to God. I want His will for my life, but how do I know? Is it worth it to stray from Gods will for me to do what I think I want to do? No I dont think so. But what if it is Gods will for me to be single forever... That is a possibility, but thats not an option for me. That would just never work. lol.
GAY GAY GAY... this is so lame. I hate thinking about crap. I hvae to work through these thoughts and feelings and just make wise choices. No more doing what I want. I have to follow God. I have to lead by example and do the right thing. Ulrimately that is what I want out of life. I know I can do it. I want to do it. I will do it... yup yup... Well Im off to practice some guitar and then like pray or something cuz I need Jesus!

So today...
Woke up... checked the status of Prop 8... Good day!
Got online... got lost in lala internet land and lost track of time talking to ppl. Got a phone call from Gidget, my boss, freaking out about when I was coming to work. Somthing about needing to call all the football kids about the game and GPAs or something.. i didnt understand... So naturally, I went back to the computer and procrastinated starting my day. Finally took a shower and headed to get Jocelyn for work... and Got there like 2 minutes late. Gidget needed me like... Id say 2 hours earlier... lol my bad.
It was an early day for the kids, so it was kinda crazy. I just got to hang out and play games with them most of the day. I love days like that!
Then there was some kind of lock down drill. Apparently earlier in the day a kid pulled out a knife on another kid so they wanted to make sure that we could do the lock down procedure right if something like that happened during program or some crap... then a bunch of drama went down. it was lame...
Then we did those wat up warm up videos with the kids and the hip hoop (hula) videos. HECKA FUN! but very tiring. lol.
Then it was off to youth group. I wasnt at all ready to play guitar tonight. It was crazy... I had some hecca good tacos though that made my day!
Pastor Ken talked about dating tonight... About how to go about dating and what not... and what the bible says about relationships... and it got me thinking...
How do you know when you are ready to be in a relationship with someone? How do you make that transition from being friends to "courting" or whatever the crap youre supposed to be when your more than friends...? ITs so lame...
Honestly, Dating kinda scares me. I dont wanna fall away from God and get distracted by a guy. I dont wanna end up giving into temptations. I really donw wanna face it all. And im so stinking trusting but on the other hand, I dont want to be taken advantage of... idk... I guess I should just talk this one out with God...
On a lighter note...
Tell me why... when I got into bed last night. I was listening to my ipod in the dark on my bed. just chillin... and all of a sudden I felt something on my head.. I thought maybe it was lint or something from my head board... nope... wrong...
IT WAS A FREAKING MONSTOR OF A PINCHER BUG!!!
OMG! I freaked out. I reached up to feel was was on me and it was moving... I threw it on the floor... turned on the light and this thing had to be like 2 inches long!!! GROSS!!! I dont know how I got back into that same bed only minutes later... Ya im pretty savage! =]
Well thats all I have to say for now... YEE!
Night!
Finally...
I dont know why I have waited this long to finally blog. Everybody's doing it! lol. I do love to write though so I think this will be good for me.
Election today. I voted for the first time. Pretty cool. =]
Obama won the presidency... Not too cool, but Ill live. Im really looking to see if Prop 8 passes. I hope it does just so that I dont have to worry about any crap happening the future. Im sick of everything becoming discrimination. If I dont vote for Obama Im a racist or if I vote yes on prop 8 thats seen as a hate crime aggainst gays... Thats a bunch of BS. Im not a racist and I dont hate anyone. Lame...
I dont think I have much else to say. I know God is good and is in control. No worries. =]
