Happy New Year

2009 is here and along with it is my new phone, LG Voyager. After 5 years of using a crappy out dated phone I finally got a phone worth talking on and caring about if it gets dinged or not. Overall I'm very satisfied with my phone although I must say that I would probably be just as satisfied with the iPhone if not more. But I am grateful! Now lets hope that this phone lasts for 2 years. It was a Christmas gift from my mom. Love you mom!

New Year's Eve was surprisingly crazy. Unexpectedly crazy. Good though.

I'm leaving for Cali in 5 days and I am excited. Excited for many reasons:
one, I get to see my brother Jacob again
two, I get to see Cali and not just the inside of LAX
three, Black Friday
four, I get to see Laguna College of Art and Design
five, ummmm

Kona Winds

And coming with the Kona Winds (wind blowing from the south) is vog. Vog is volcanic fog for short and pretty much envelops the entire island of Oahu and probably prevalent throughout the state. I've seen it pretty bad but I think this has go to be the worst. At first glance it looks like it's raining but you then notice that nothing is moving. Kinda reminds me of New Years Eve when the streets are fill with smoke from fireworks.
Normally vog does't bother me physically, but this morning I woke up to a nose conjested and such. Not a fun feeling.
But other then making my nose feel crappy, it sparks wonder and amazement at how quickly and wide spread this vog gets.

Interseting sight but I can't wait till the trade winds blow again.

BTW: The picture doesn't do the justice, its a lot thicker then it looks.

So here I am again...

supposed to be studying for my accounting midterm on Tuesday but I am instead distracted by various blogs and sites.

Inspiration

Brandon Foster, pro bodyboarder

I watched his testimony on T.V. the other night to find that he's a Christian. That to me is very encouraging to see a pro bodyboarder share his faith.

Humor in Typography Part Deux

Nice typeface and play on words. Me likey.

By the way, I find all these cool things from various places in the web but mostly from this wonderful site: ffffound

Prepping the Soul

To think that at this age I know what I need to do and how to do it can sometimes give a false sense of security which can be dangerous.

It's amazing how much wisdom can come from someone so young. I hear such gems from peers younger then oneself is pretty sobering. I need to step it up.
Matt told me tonight that the key to leading worship well is not how much we practiced or one's singing ability but it's about prepping the soul before and sensitivity to the spirit. I've gotten caught up in trying to make everything work logistically that I forgot what I was doing it for. It's all for the glory of Jesus. I need to stop thinking about what everyone else think and worry about what pleases Him.
I have this bad habit of relying so much on myself and trying to do things my way rather then trusting in God to handle things.

I guess sometimes the only way that I remember that God is with me is when I have so much stress and pressure on my back it makes me strain my head up to see Him standing there waiting to live it off.
