I wrote this a couple of weekends ago (5/10) and I was going to write more but it just didn't get written. So here is what I've got:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just got back from a Shawn McDonald concert. While I love his music I actually found that I liked his opener, Jason Gray, even better.
I've been dealing with some stuff yesterday and today and some of his songs just really spoke to me. Here are a couple of them
This Far
The first time I heard You call my name
I saw the man that I could be
My life was like a gift that You gave to me
But now I’m haunted by the memory of
A promise I thought I heard from You
And I’m not as sure of all the things I thought that I once knew
I don’t believe You brought me this far to give up
So everyday I keep on fighting for it
Show me again what I was made for
Help me to see You’re still moving me
It’s hard for me to walk by faith
In the face of all that I can see
Sometimes I feel I’m just a fool for my belief
But then I feel You come and move in me
I hear You whisper in my ear
And for a moment I can see just how You brought me here
I don’t believe You brought me this far to give up
So everyday I keep on fighting for it
Show me again what I was made for
Help me believe You’re still moving me
With each passing glimpse of Your promise
You’re leading me on
Don’t let me falter now
I don’t believe You brought me this far to give up
So everyday I keep on fighting for it
Sometimes it’s hard to tell if I’m faithful
Or for me to believe You’re still leading me
I don’t believe You brought me this far to give up
So everyday I keep on fighting for it
Show me again what I was made for
Help me to see You’re still moving me
I still believe cause You carried me this far

I really want to update soon.
ps - I'm sure you've already figured, but Bo is just my crush. He was one of the ES guys and I have like him for a little while. We worked together in one of our classes and had a great time. I always get a huge smile and hug whenever I see him and it just brightens my day. Slight problem: He just graduated, is spending a month in Mexico surfing, and is going into the Peace Corps soon, so i don't really know when I'll seem him next, but i miss him.
Gabriel (our amazing tour guide from ES) is in SLO this weekend and some of us will get together to hang out next week!
Good nigh for real this time
