Closing in on 2011.

Good Morning :)


  I wan't to start off by saying happy late bday to my friend Rishelle Abarca! :)


I will more than likely make my West Coast Post tomorrow, Lord willing! Some of you already know I cracked the screen on my Iphone. My alarm went off and the phone vibrated. Slide right off the edge of my desk and BAM! End of the story? Not really because it stilled worked fine. I was planning on just replacing the screen! Until! The day I returned from West Coast, I wen't shopping with my sister. I bought some glasses, my sister then reminded me I would probably have little use for them....seeing as it had been raining...DUH. As we got in the car and drove home. Out of habit I set my phone down towards the center consul...I thought nothing of it and I listened as the occasional text alert noise went off. Out of the corner of my eye (I was driving) I noticed my sister kept looking at my phone ( it was right where I left it). Then all of sudden she yelled, "ELIAS!!!" (little brother, oh no you didn't tone). I was like man someone epic just text me or something. She then said, "You set your phone in my cup" Her cup was full of "Fresh Guava Juice". My poor phone had just been there "chillen" in Guava Juice! sad to say but the that was the end of my Iphone :( So i'll get a little temporary phone today. It took a couple days so that explains my no-replies. lol Watch out for Fresh Guava Juice.


Anyways, so this is sure to be one Epic Week!


Why? Our church 30th Pastoral Anniversary Service this Sunday! Join us! :) How great is God's divine plan, I thank God for bringing my family and I to Victory Tabernacle! I like to think how even sweeter it is for those who have been in our church for 20 plus years..Maybe you feel a little old. haha jk ;)


Thanksgiving in San Diego!


  This year at my grandparents house! how sweet! I love food. lol


Call of Duty


   The midnight release was last night. I waited in line with my brothers for 3 hours! The line wrapped around the block! :0 We took turns going back and forth to my warm car for a break. It was break-relief. Lol My brothers were so excited and well I felt like a zombie this morning. 


Christmas Play


   It's coming up. I'm playing Joseph and Rachel Pacheco is playing Mary. It's gonna be so much fun! it's fun working with her and I hope it is a blessing to many.


That's all for now, have a good day & God bless!

I'm here..It's Friday! TEBOWING!!!

Hi there :)


Okay so this year, I plan on going to WCC all three days! This is not an attempt to make those who aren't going feel bad. A friend of mine, I won't name names...JOSE!. Said,  "it feels like Cinderella, and being left out of the ball". haha

World Series...

RANGERS...I've never been to Texas, but I know the Cardinals have won it too many times!! right? yes, I am right.

Planking will be long forgotten...

The reason for this is... "TEBOWING" has taken over. For a full understanding of it, go to tebowing.com.

Cracked iPhone screen

I am officially victim number

231227677399289738972897897189711717187337405002598598392920990909993897587474762764727272727663. On the bright side, I did last a whole year without cracking it. :) That has to be some sort of record, right? yes, I am right.

Youth Service

Service was great! looking forward to the next one.  If you want to see more pics of our youth service, feel free to check out our youth blog.    vtyouth.wordpress.com

A little something...

Hi everyone :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend...Had morning prayer and an ice coffee. Lol :)

There are 2 parts to this post.

Part 1.
  Last night we had church choir! It had been so long but we had great church :) During alter call I introduced myself to a visitor named Edwin. Sort of the quite type but he really enjoyed the service...Hopefully I can secure a bible study with him! During morning service yesterday the morning message was about outreach. What really stuck to me was when the preacher said, (in short) Spend time with the visitors...We need to stop being so selfish. That really struck me and I asked God for a burden for one of our new people. I'm reminded of the simple Sunday school song, we all know so well.  "This little light of mine" The second verse goes, "Hide it under a bushel Oh no!/I'm gonna let it shine!

It's more than just a "Sunday School Song" It still holds true today!

Part 2.  I was recently asked what my fav. song is...of course this was difficulty for me to answer for me because I have so many. If I had to narrow it down to one, it would be.... 

Relient K, "Getting into you"

I've posted the lyrics below, you can sample it and even buy it on Itunes.

When I made up my mind
And my heart along with that
To live not for myself
But yet for God, somebody said
Do you know what you are getting yourself into

When I finally ironed out
All of my priorities
And asked God to remove the doubt
That makes me so unsure of these
Things I ask myself, I ask myself
Do you know what you are getting yourself into
Publish Post
[Chorus]
I'm getting into you
Because you got to me, in a way words can't describe
I'm getting into you
Because I've got to be
You're essential to survive
I'm going to love you with my life

When he looked at me and said
I kind of view you as a son
And for a second our eyes met
And I met that with a question
Do you know what you are getting yourself into

[Chorus]

I've been a liar and I'll never amount to
The kind of person you deserve to worship you
You say you will not dwell on what I did but rather what I do you say
I love you and that's what you are getting yourself into

[Chorus]

He said, I love you and that's what you are getting yourself into 

I love this song! It's so simple but meaningful! So check it out! 

Have a great day :)
