brain throw up [saved draft from 7/20/2011]

Posting on 5/27/2014 because I just read this and this rocks. So Much has changed.

Initiate my brain throwing up random thoughts about today and life and stuffs and.... yup!
1. I wore my toms today... without socks. My feet smell. gross.
2. I never really straighten my hair anymore. It looks good air dried. Kinda wavy.
3. Speaking of hair, I re-bleached my "peek-a-boo's" or what ever you call them
4. I really like San Diego, and I really want to go surfing again before I leave. <3
5. Typing out what my brain was thinking seemed better at the moment than now when its coming out in blog form.
6. I love having internet all the time again. It's going to suck going back to Modesto and not having it at home. ]=
7. My favorite number is 14
8. Sometimes I wish I had one person that encouraged me and pushed me to be better at the things I need to improve on. However, I must seek self-motivation.
9. I've been told I have this gift of writing, I need to blog more instead of just journal.
10. I feel like I need a lot of things to do what I want to do. And I feel like what I want to do would be a tool to help other people out and to give me an artistic release through making videos, graphics, and pictures... but apparently that's not what God wants from me right now. So maybe He has a different plan or is waiting on some timing.
11. I truly believe that God has a massive plan for my life. But sometimes I get inpatient and question "why not now?!" But after some quiet time w/ Him I feel calm and peace about waiting on His perfect timing.
12. I have a lot of drafted blogs that are half thoughts/ have written that I really don't know if I'll ever finish or post.
13. I don't even know if I'll post this blog
14. I need to start drawing again
15. I really don't expect anyone to read past stinky feet #1.
16. Complaining about something you can change is annoying.
17. I really do love cake
18. & dinosaurs
19. I'm guarded against making best friends because I had a best friend once who... yea.
20. I'm like a puppy. Always wanting to play and seeks attention.
21. Free running would be so fun! ...except I have no friends who want to run around with me climbing on and jumping off of things.
22. If I were a ninja, I'd wear toms.
23. I am NINJA and I wear toms.
24. I want someone to love. BUT I'm super content single.
25. I don't want to have kids.
26. Whoa
27. I wonder what the future holds for me. I still don't know what I want to do. I'm just taking it day by day.
28. I forgot why I wanted to post this to blogger... none of this really matters to anyone. heh
29. I love skateboarding, but I hate getting hurt. So I don't really do any tricks.
30. I'm super honest
31. I wonder how this "brain throw up" post turned into just a bunch of facts.
32. I love new things and when things are put together right and when things are in order.
33. I hope I never have to work in the food industry again. I'm really slow at it because I can't multi-task and make one thing while things are coming out of ovens and other things are being cooked for a certain time while multiple orders come in at once. nope.
34. to post this or not to post this? that is the question.
35. I don't shower until: I smell, I'm super dirty, I need to shave, or ... I think that's it.
36. I wear men's deodorant and use men's body wash.
37. ...they smell good!
38. I have to remind myself not to compare myself to others... a lot.
39. I totally saved this as a draft on 7/20/2011 ... will I ever post this? It's getting long.

Kiddie pools and inflatable sharks.

I feel like I'm getting back to my roots. Back to where I knew God was calling me. It's so crazy how I can just go from being crazy in tune and in focus..... to a place where I realize what's going on and that, that world is a distant thought of my past.
I'm not saying I've been completely unfocused from that, on the contrary, I've been serving even more and learning more. But I think after a while routine begins to numb the spontaneous cry of my soul to know Jesus more... on my own. 
Even after a while spontaneity and random becomes routine, average, and normal, given it's been done enough.

I think writing has to do with a key inside of me. Writing helps me understand myself. It even helps me realize things deeper and roll with revelation. 

                     ...Somehow I always forget about this. 


You can stay in the kiddy pool all day and stay comfortable with everything, or you can jump in the deep end. Thats where everything happens. 
Life is risky business, and without risk, there isn't really any reward.

Especially in a walk with Christ. 
The kiddy pool is full of self gratifying rewards. Things we can see coming and a sense of accomplishment that we can conquer whatever is around us, small children, fake inflatable sea animals, and our heads above water. Heck, its so shallow that we can even trick ourselves that we're even walking on water. (just close one one and bam! no depth perception) The kiddy pool hasn't got anything on us! We are kings!

Jesus didn't tell peter to walk on water in the shallow... or even when it was calm. The boat they were in was "buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it."[Matt. 14:24]

Even when we think that we are in the deep of the water and things are against us, Jesus shows up. Even though we think we're in deep, He asks us for his trust and tells us to come out of the boat. To climb out of your own security and into the deep. No longer are the inflatable sea animals fake, but the sharks prowl. No longer where there are small children, but we're alone. Where its dark and crazy and we honestly have no control.  That's where it's at! When we abandon what hope we have in what we can "control"  and let go.That's where He reaches out and offers Hand and helps us out. We realize how small we are, how little significance we really have in our own lives. We set aside who we think we are and what we can accomplish on our own... Then Jesus climbs into the boat with us and the wind calms. 
...Who is king now? Jesus. 
Our lives must scream this with every essence of who we are. What we do.
            And with Him we are conquerers and co-heirs in Christ. [Romans 8] He is our strength [Philippians 4:13]

It's Not About Me.

I wrote this spoken word not too long ago. I'm slowly learning that life isn't about me. that the universe doesn't revolve around me. God doesn't owe me anything, but when i trust in him, he will take care of me. I am blessed.


-It's Not About Me-

When will I understand

that my life isn’t in my hands…

That it’s not about me!

That it’s nothing that I, -myself can be

It’s something that I cannot grasp

all I can do is hold fast

…to love


It’s not about me, you see

It’s about bigger things,

more important things;

Because my life can be gone in an instant.

Instantly I can be

…gone and distant

Life is but a mist

And in the midst of it all

…I can be taken away

Here today, but gone tomorrow

So I must chose wisely -to what I will follow


You see, the bigger things, the more important Things

The things I need to see

Is that it’s not about me

… but the King

The King who sits on his throne

And he’s all alone

… longing for his people

He’s begging for them to change

To change their hearts -and love him.

Love only him.

But in their hearts they refuse to part with the things not of the king.


…And just like it’s not about me…

It’s not about you, too

It’s not about anything that WE can do

But only about what HE can do

It’s about what He can do through me

…And through you

When we set ourselves aside, can he truly shine

It’s time to realize that it’s not the things that we can do

But what the King can show His glory through

Christmas

When I was younger, I didn't believe that anyone could have their birthday on Christmas.
This was probably due to the fact that I never knew anyone with the birthday of December 25... except for Jesus.


I used to have this whole argument to prove that Jesus was real because nobody else ever had the same birthday as Him.
This argument supported the fact that God was so awesome, nobody could share the same day of birth as him.

Destiny

Today I realized something;
we aren't created to be normal, mediocre, or typical...

We're called to do something GREAT

...Just like Frodo, Harry Potter, or anyone else
chosen to defeat the powers of the darkness.
Except our stories are better.

           
Because they're real.

Truth.


Without the breath of God... I'm just a pile of dust on the ground.



          
Genesis 2:7
                7
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,
                     and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man
                          became a living soul.

Hiro! n_n I'm going to like... update you on my life. k. deal

Life.

Hey! So I finally have internet for the first time in 10 months on a regular basis. This is awesome because I have felt so disconnected from everything due to my lack of internet. It is just a pain trying to keep up with everything when I didn't have internet at home. Truth.

Okay, so let the quick update begin.
SUMMER.
Summer has finally started! I'm done with my first year of internship at Calvary Temple in Modesto. It was such an experience. It is so awesome to be a part of such a great internship that cares so much about God moving in people's lives and shaking cities.

So now... now is the interesting part about my summer.
About a month ago my friend Alyson texted me & told me that she was the director of a Summer School in San Diego and they needed someone to be the bible teacher. She asked me if I wanted to move down to SD for the summer and take the position. I said I'd do it and after figuring everything out, we decided to house sit all summer so rent would be free... plus it sounds kinda fun. heh heh

So yeah. I just wanted to update on everything cause I feel like it has been forever since I've done a blog post, youtube video, or even like a dailybooth.
So here's a vlog. Just a little one, but I'll be sure to update again later and talk about how everything is going... like how the room I'm currently in has a spiderman painted on the wall. legit.

k.bye.


be love.
