"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops..."

Wowsers! Check out this picture, you can drool over this one if you want. Jessica alba has a new movie coming out soon. I forgot wha its called but i think missy elliot is in it along w/some other peeps. It looks pretty cool, i wanna go check that shizzle outs yo! ANyway, burr and i love that song 'milkshake' by kelis. That song is funny, 'la-lala' d0peness yo. Its hook is catchy so you cant help but to sing it.

So after a frustrating day at work w/some people called, 'stantonites.' I dont like them theyre juss a bunch of ol people who like to be in bad mood all the time. Theyre snappy, ugly and juss all out rude. They like to be real bossy also, and makes me want to snap back at them also. Then we had these other people walk in last nite to come and check out the hall. Well i was never informed they were coming late like 'after hours.' THen im frustrated w/them cuz i wanted to leave and theyre juss taking their time. Booo on them also. Theyre probably gonna complain bout me since i kicked them out early. Oh well, watcha gonna do bout it?!

So yesterday was wednesday and as errone knows, wednesdays are uci days. yay! Well cuz i got out of later then i wanted to i didnt really get to participate in the whole 'brotha forum.' When i got there, they were in the park doing this activity. In fact it was pretty crazy activity w/a lot of meaning to it. I guess they blind folded eerrone and they had to walk down this steep little rock. They had their hands on each other's shoulders and they were walking down, as randell guided them. So then they all sat down and we had a discussion. They asked how that activity related to our faith. I as usual shurred and said 'we walk by FAITH and not by SIGHT.' In other words we gotta trust GOd.

Well if you know me, you know how i can get carried away talking bout something i really enjoy talking bout. I described how despite the fact i didnt get to particiapte in the activity there were a lot of things i saw that relates to our faith. We gotta trust God w/all our heart, all our mind and all our soul. We are called ot have great faith and trust him. Then i related it to scripture, Peter walking on water and him doubting, so he started to fall. Or juss simply, Mama MAry's simple 'yes' to trust God. SHe didnt know what was going to be happening to her, but all she gave every ounce of her faith to him. To me that's what were called to everyday, to serve him.
Also the activity symbolized how we are all one body in Christ. How it says in 1 cor 12:12-26, that each part of the body is not less important than the other. Juss like Eph 4:4-6, the whole "one body and one spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one Faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."

Then i realted this to each other, how we are responsible for our brother's and sisters. We can't say we are not our brothers/sister's keeper cuz we are. We are all responsible for helping each other get ot heaven. Heaven is our goal, and we need to help each other get there. I used the anaolgie of us being step ladders to get to heaven. We gotta bring each other up when we fall, cuz i wouldnt want anyone to miss a glimpse of heaven. Then we had this other activity, whurr each person got a candle. Then 3 people's candles were lit, from there we had 10 min. to get errone's candle lit. Though hurr's the challenge, they had people running around blowing out the candles.

That was hard, but the whole point i saw was we are called as catholic-christians to be that 'light unto the world.' To be a reflecltion unto others, just as Christ calls us to be. YEs, of course the people blowing out the candles represent how others are gonna persecute you during your walk, though the point isnt to quit, its to keep on going, to keep on moving, your reward is heaven. Then the lit candle represents our spirituality also. Woo im juss going off today! How through baptism that candle was lit. Yet it cant be blown out, even though well go through struggles and face trials, it cant be extinguished. The light cant be buried and for this reason every time we get back up there spiritually, our spiriutality only becomes a rediscovery. Yfc has the best activites i think that really relate down to your faith and who you are as a person.

Then the nite ended with benefit concert practice w/liwanag. We did action songs to start the nite off. Wow that was some good food for the soul, it was like my appetizer! haha We did who builds the faith first. They do their 'grace' action differently then we do. They do it like theyre carrying a baby in their arms. That was fun and then they also do the 'go higher' and 'lower part' within each chorus. Then we also did 'community song.' That too they sing it a bit differently. Instead of 'its me who builds community' they sing it's 'i who builds community.' Instead of its 'us who builds community' they say 'its we who builds community.'

But that was fun, then we ended it w/lulaey. I love lualey, i love all those action songs! MY friends from yfc had a hard time doing the actions to that one. It was quite funny, they also do this song differently from us cuz they sing the first verse or the intro. to the song. Well after all that was done i was sweating like no other, wow those actions songs got me pumped! Im excited this fri. for benefit concert. I'll be peforming w/yfc as well as my own community. Can't wait to do the 'O magnify the Lord.' ANytime good times last nite i love it! I have the greatest times up in irvine, those are usually the highlights of my week. Good songs, great discussions, and totally crazy cool people, wha more can i ask for?

Alright thas it for now today, remember to lets be a light unto the world!


I have the best times over in irvine!

"This little of mine, im gonna let it shine..."im done, im out God bless!
