OMG you guys....


Thanx for keepin my blog alive tho! I'm sooo bad.... I'm like hardly here these days. hahaha.

Well I'm on Spring Break... and the fourth graders are not... but i've been neglecting them lately... yes, shame on me. Like I told Chels yesterday, I'm failing at life. I dropped classes b/c i was failing... now i'm down to like three classes and AmeriCorps, and i'm likely to get kicked outta there soon b/c i'm never gonna make up my hours and i'm slacking like crazy. Why, you ask? Because... I have no direction. Seriously. I've been flailing about lately and feeling bummed about it because that's what I am- a bum. So.......... I'm gonna have to find some way to re-motivate myself, because I have no clue what I'm doing or where I am going... I know where I want to be (singing!!!), but it seems like such a far-off, distant dream and not one my parents would approve of... so here I am, wondering what the heck I'm suppossed to do in the meantime. Argh.


So........ that's why I'm online all the time now. It takes my mind off what a failure I am. *sigh*

[hapa_angel]

Sorry to unload all that on you guys.... but this is my blog, where the heck else can I say it?


Well..... 2 more clips. If I'm not "doing anything with my life" at least I can record.

The first is more Michelle Branch... the second is my song... I'll have chords/lyrics for it up shortly.

Oh don't worry. I saw a statistic where like 50% college freshman drop out because their failing (give or take 20%), so your not alone. Oh, and i can TOTALLY relate to whats going on with you right now. So if you ever wanna talk or anything, u know my AIM sn and stuff.

1. I feel like I am in the same place... maybe it is time to jump off and just go after what is truly in your heart.

2. You could probably do quite well singing for God or even out in the world, though I would not recommend option 2.

Just a little encouragement . You are amazing, and God has called you for an express purpose, not just for the heck of it.

[snowboarderTim]

um... express? Sounds like 12 items or less at walmart

I'd rephrase that and say specific or special or... unique

express means "quick"

man... I'm such a dork, sorry Rich

Hope you're having an awesome day Rach!

[Akshay]

Rachel, u havent posted in my journal for a while.. that has to be the cause of your lack of direction!.. jk

well i hope u do better in your classes.. since its spring break, why dont you take a vacation or somethin? Go to SoCal!! its awesome here.. but yeah a vacation can do you goood.

[hapa_angel]

.................................



I'm going to need more than a 3 day vacation to help this.

[hapa_angel]

Well anyway, thanx you guys for *trying* to help. Just trying helps some. I guess... if you have my #, you can call me... I could use the encouragement but i'll be out of the house Friday nite from 7pm on... so um...haha... iono?

I kno i said i'd have chords/lyrics up for Striving.... but i don't. haha. sorry.... dont much feel like it. But that song *is* me right now.... *sigh*

[hapa_angel]

ehh.... about ^^^ .... just kidding. heh. I ended up staying home and watching Joan Of Arcadia, which i *never* get to do b/c it's on Friday night, when I'm at fellowship. Maybe I was *suppossed* to have stayed home tho... it got me thinking some. We have yet to see whether that's a good thing or a bad one, however....


Chords/Lyrics for There Is Hope will be up in a sec....

[hapa_angel]

Listen to the song

       A               C#m         F#m           C#m
A whisper in your heart / Is telling you to start
      D                   A                E
To pick up all the pieces of your life
    A                    C#m       F#m           C#m
A voice inside your soul / Is telling you to go
       D                      B                    Esus E
And find new meaning far beyond this strife

      F#m                                       D                 A
For once you took for granted what you no longer hold
     Bm                    C#m              Esus E
But far beyond the shadows of this world

            F#m  D            A    E
There is hope / There is love
             F#m            C#m               B                   E
There is beauty in the little things of earth and sky above
      F#m  D            A    E
It is real / And so true
              Bm7          C#m      Esus E             A
May you always carry on this hope - inside of you



       A               C#m         F#m           C#m
The voices everywhere / They say, "Why should you care?"
        D             A               Esus E
"The suffering is rampant worldwide"
       A               C#m         F#m           C#m
But rise above the clouds / And soon you will see how
              D                     B              Esus E
You can make a difference if you so decide

      F#m                                       D                 A
For what you take for granted you'll regret for all time
      Bm               C#m                Esus E
So treasure every moment of your life



   F#m                                                  D                 A
I know that someday soon you'll find that driving force within
F#m                                      D                  E
All the beauty that's inside will bring you joy again
A               E           C#                 F#m
If you only free the message in your soul
Bm                                          D         E
Then the truth inside of you will start to show
