people long for love and purpose. 

it's been hard, coming back and all, trying to figure out how to survive.  overwhelmed by all that i need to do: find a place to live, figure out how to move around, decide on what to do this next year.  decided that i could only take it one step at a time if i didn't want to go nuts.  first, a place to live.  spent all last week looking for apartments, busing around, bumming rides.  couldn't really find anything, i mean some places were ok, but all the ones that felt "good" were taken.  it was frustrating, i was trying so hard.   when david chang asked me earlier to go to his church retreat, i was like yea right, i need to find a place to live, but the reason i gave him was, hey dude i need to meet my uncle during the weekend to get my credit cards, driver license, etc.. and unless something happens, i don't think i can go.  we can pray about it.  YOU can pray about it.  it's hard moving around without my cards..  so the next day, my uncle calls me and tells me that he's near ucla and he'll drop off my cards.  it was like a sign or something, but i still didn't want to go.  wanted to do nothing all weekend.  but the dude started iming me that night, and you know how it always goes, i had to tell him.  ended up going to the retreat and it was awesome.  kids are so funny.  boys are really funny.  the theme was "rest" and it helped me to realize how i've been running around on my own this whole time.  trusted Him with so much when i was out east and saw so much, but somehow decided i had to take over when i returned to cali.  had to remind myself of all that He had done, had to be reminded that He is the Lord of the feast.  thanks tim.  had forgotten Him so quickly.  came back sunday night and found a place on monday.  felt good.  actually prayed for that specific place.  Venice.  i guess He was waiting for me to look up.  now i need to move into the apartment, find a car, and figure out the rest of life.  thankful for friends and family.  they take me out and give me money.  i can't imagine where i'd be without them.  life is hard for many people.  i swam in the american ocean for the first time of my life.  i lost my journal, and i've been itching to write.  i wonder who's reading my journal.  sicko.  we're watching the simpsons' on friday.

youtube is so cool.  i like this song:
