So, those are my classes for Spring semester. Am I excited? Not particularly no. It sounds lame but I really, really miss SCPA. Like a lot of the people I talk to in High School can't wait to move on and I'm not going to lie, college does have its perks but man, I really miss some people. It's so lame how everyone says they'll keep in touch but they never do. It's my fault too though, I'm terrible at staying in touch with people I don't see everyday. I feel guilty, a lot of my friends still live in San Diego too but I never call them. Well, maybe that's something to do 2008.

Merry Christmas
So, on my Christmas Eve, I spent 5 hours of it working during one of
the busiest days at Jamba I've ever experienced (second only to during
the San Diego Fires, which I really don't know why people would be out
and about getting smoothies), 4 hours sleeping, and the rest of the
time driving down to the border to pick up my sister's friend. Don't
get it wrong, I love my sister and she does a lot for me but it's
just...
Really, really lame.
I
wanted to be with my friends, but I was convinced to stay home and
spend time with my family. I really wish we did something together. I
can't really be upset though, I decided to sleep 4 hours away. I feel
like things are becoming less important to me. Holidays and my
birthday for example. I completely forgot my birthday was coming up
until my sister told me today. I know Christmas is about Jesus and I
need to focus on Him, but honestly I feel like crying. I sound so
selfish and immature right now. It's okay though, I'm only human and
this is one of the things about being human. In God, I find perfect
sacrifice. That's what today is about. That through Jesus' perfect
sacrifice for us we have a chance to live and a chance to go to heaven
despite how immature and selfish we may be at time. | | |

Dear Future Wife,
I'm really sorry. My whole life I've been so impatient, trying to find
someone that would help ease the loneliness I sometimes have in my
heart, when I know that God has something perfect in store for us. I
pray that as I'm writing this letter to you, that you're out there
somewhere growing closer to our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that God
watch over the both of us as we grow closer to Him, and that we would
both be patient in finding each other and trust that when we're ready
and the time is right, He'll bring us together. As I write this I vow
to you, that I will do everything to become the man that you and God
want me to be. As I am right now, I know I still need to grow a lot
more and I pray that I'll have progressed by the time I meet you. I
thought I had more to say to you, but at this moment, I'm sort of lost
in my own thoughts. It's alright though, cause I know you'll
understand me better than any other person :).
-Your Future Husband. | | |
