Hi i'm "Me" Jonathan Francisco. I am a new member and thought that making a journal on this site looked cool so i decided to make one (obviously). im not gonna do a huge "survey" about myself but i will answer pretty much any question that i am asked. However i will tell a little bit about myself to get my journal started.

I'm 14 (but you maybe know that already from reading my profile)
I have played guitar for about 2 years
I have played classical piano (and am still taking lessons) for about 9 years (since i was 5)
I am home schooled (have been all my life) and am a freshman
I have 3 younger brothers (13, 10, and 8) and 2 younger sisters (4 and 18 months)
I have been a Christian since i was 8 and love playin guitar for my Savior

Well thats about it, starting Tomorrow i will give a brief overview of my day and elaborate more on the highlights (if there are any)................ my journal is officially open!

im first to post here

cool

[CHRISTISLORD200]

yes you are lol but the point was to get somebody that i don't already know (hint hint) to post here so i can get to know them better

[CHRISTISLORD200]

Well i woke up late this morning (7o'clock, i usually get up at 6:30 for my devotional) so that was a bad start to my day, but forunately the rest of my day has been going pretty good. I have tennis lessons later at 2:30 and then am going strait from there to my cousin's (who is in college) lacrosse game. If i am not on CGR then i wont be on again till like who knows when late tonight. But i should be on for like the next hour or so.

[CHRISTISLORD200]

i apologize for not posting on my journal yesterday (nobody really cares i guess so w/e). i was at a sleepover with the highschool guys at my youth group. it was awesome we played rock band till like 10, then went and played soccer and dodge ball in the church gym, then went back and played mario kart wii, then watched the dark night then went to bed at like 3. it was awesome. now i am going to go sleep and do who knows what else lol.

[CHRISTISLORD200]

ugh i H-A-T-E mondays. My throat was killing me when i woke up this morning (it still hurts a little bit) so i did 4 subjects and my dad (he got home early) told me i could skip the rest of my school for today and that i could sleep for a couple hours. i slept from 12:30 to 3:30. i guess im feeling a little better now but i really just feel cruddy. needless to say, this hasn't exactly been a great monday.

[CHRISTISLORD200]

OK my sore throat is better today (its actually been better since yesterday) but now i have a stuffy nose. i think i have like s cold or something. i have asthma so when i get a cold i usually have it for like 2 weeks. other than that nothing exciting has really happened in my life recently, lol.

[CHRISTISLORD200]

ok apparently nobody thinks my journal is worth posting cuz....well.....nobody is posting on it. anyways i am still sick today (a cold. every time i sneeze/blow my nose i have to throw the tissue away (obviously), use aquafor, and use hand sanitizer) but i did get a 95 ON MY ELA TEST WHICH TOTALLY ROCKED!!!!!!!! lol. havent gotten that high on an english test in ages.

[CHRISTISLORD200]

well i haven't posted on my journal in awhile, guess it doesn't really matter though but w/e. im still sick which stinks, but other than that my life is pretty good. I finally got my 12 pack of mountain dew this past week so i am excited about that. But unfortunately tomorrow i might not be able to play in my church's praise and worship band cuz im still sick :'(.

[fflscw]

hey Jonathan! didn't know you were homeschooled, that's awesome and you don't post on here, so you probably won't see this...

[CHRISTISLORD200]

Hi!!!!!!!! You are one of the two people to actually post in my journal!
Anyways yeah I am homeschooled and yes it is awesome. I am going to try to start posting more in this journal from now on. Also I have a new rule, if you read this then you HAVE to post in this journal. You HAVE to lol.

Anyways there is this girl that I like (ALOT) and until this past Sunday I had not made any contact whatsoever for like 3 weeks. She was grounded from her cell phone and her computer and I left a message at her home phone but she never called me back. She sent me a message through facebook saying that she was fine and that she would call me. That was on Sunday. She has not called me back. I tried calling her cell phone and it was off so I think that she it still grounded from that Also, the last I heard she was considering going out with a guy that she has dated 3 times before and he has been a jerk and broke up with her all three times, causing a lot of hurt (for her and me, because I hate so see my BFFAE get hurt in a relationship with a guy). I really wanna talk to her about it. She is a new believer, she was saved at this thing called FCWC this past April. FCWC goes on at my city every year over spring break. It is a work camp, Flower City Work Camp, that is run by a couple churches. A ton of kids from various churches in my area all go to a local church on Monday night of spring break and stay until Friday morning. During the day on Tuesday through Thursday you go to your assigned work sites with 9-10 other teens grades 7-12. The work sites are houses in the inner-city that need some fixing up (enough to last at least 3 days) and you go there and, well, fix them up. It can range from putting up new curtains, to painting, to plumbing, to electric work, to roofing. There are 3 site leaders (adults) that help in the more advanced areas. And usually we get professionals that volunteer to help out in their spare time. Anyways last year at FCWC this girl (my bffae, her name is Elysse, but I call her Elly) was on my site and me and her became really good friends. We are NOT bf and gf, we are just very good friends. We have a brother/sister relationship but I have very strong feelings for her. As far as I know she views my as her "Best friend and an amazing brother" (she actually said that to me once). Anyways she was saved at FCWC ( my best friends (he is a guy) twin sister and the youth leader at the local church that FCWC is held at led her to Christ and prayed with her. My best friends twin sister is now a very good friend of mine). Her dad and her mom are separated and her dad treats like Crap so she has not had a father in her life to talk to stuff about so on Tuesday night of FCWC we sang a song (I can't remember what it was, I really wish I could) and she broke down in the middle of it. That night my friend Lauren prayed with her and Elly accepted Christ. The next day at Elly's work site (we were on different sites this year) she fell and hit her head. On Thursday it was bothering her so bad that she was in tears by 9 that night. She thought that God was abandoning her like her earthly "dad" did. She had to go to the hospital that night but fortunately she ended up being fine and got back at 2 Friday morning. I was a mess all Thursday night but something really cool happened. Elly said that she got back at 2 Friday morning and the hospital was 30 minutes away, so that means she would have been leaving the hospital at about 1:30. At 1:30 Friday morning I suddenly felt peace about the whole situation and was able to go to sleep. How cool is that!!!!! Anyways right now idk why she is thinking about dating this idiot again (you might hear his name, but I go out of my way to not say it. Caite (aka maeroxursxo) knows what it is so you can ask her). I honestly have no idea why and it makes me really really upset. I really just wish that I could talk to her about it...........

Anyways that is my life right now........... complicated and messed up but oh well. As far as I know nobody ever said anything about life being fair or easy and if somebody told you that, well, then somebody lied

OK so as to what has happened so far today, I woke up at 6:30 (as usual) read my Bible and went downstairs to eat breakfast. I had to chocolate fudge poptarts which were sooooooo good!!!!!!! Also, if you have any younger siblings that like to drink coffee, NEVER PUT YOUR CELL PHONE ON THE KITCHEN TABLE DURING BREAKFAST TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did this morning and my 13 year old brother spilled coffee all over it!!!!!!! It sucked!!!! lol fortunately its OK. I just had to wipe it off a little bit. Also I have a piano recital tonight and I am playing the most difficult piece that I know so I am pretty nervous about that. I am playing an easier Blues piece before the hard one tho so hopefully that will warm me up a little bit.

Oh btw I wrote a song about Elly's salvation. I am going to post it below.

He Will Never Leave

Verse 1:
There she was, sitting in the pew
Thinkin’ about all that she just heard
The speaker said that He would never leave
But how could that be true?
She thought “I already have a father
But he is never there for me
He left me and I know that
He doesn’t really care”

Pre-Chorus:
Then as the tears started to fall
God heard her cry
He came and wrapped His arms around her
As He said

Chorus:
I will never leave you
I will never let you down
You will always be loved
You will never be alone
Know that no matter what
I will always be there for you
I will always love you
I will always love you

Verse 2:
But there was one who wasn’t happy at all
His goal was to make her fall
Just the next day
He began his attack
He tripped her and she hit her head
The next night she was in pain
It was so bad she couldn’t bear it
She thought “Where is He, why isn’t He here?
I never should have believed
That He would never leave”
She ended up in the hospital and
It might have been real bad

Pre-Chorus:
Then as the tears started to fall
God heard her cry
He came and wrapped His arms around her
And He said

Chorus:
I will never leave you
I will never let you down
You will always be loved
You will never be alone
Know that no matter what
I will always be there for you
I will always love you
I will always love you

Bridge:
He brought her back to him at that hospital
Despite the devil’s atttempts
To take her away from the One who loves her
But inspite of all that she went through
God helped her through it all
He had never really left her
He had been there all along because

Ending Chorus:
He will never leave you
He will never let you down
He will never cease to love you
You will never be alone
Know that no matter what
He will always be there for you
He will always love you
He will never leave

When I play it and sing it on my guitar (I actually haven't tried playing and singing through the whole thing at once yet) at the very end I repeat "He will always love you" 3 more times and I repeat "He will never leave" 3 more times as well. I am going to try playing through the whole thing later today so I will let "you all" know how it turns out
