hey guys, what's up? i'm writing from a computer at the jameson inn outside of atlanta...we're getting ready to leave to go to centrifuge at panama city...last night, we went to a church that one of our youth group guys had family at and did some stuff there...as always, i ended up playing, but on this occasion, i played a song that i wrote two nights ago that just seemed right for the occassion for some reason...after the service this man came up to me and pulled me aside, and thanked me for sharing my heart with him, and told me that my music would be used to change hearts and change lives...after that, i was pretty much blown away...i pray that i would not get in the way of what You are doing...only use me as Your instrument.

hey yall...figured i might as well post for once...things are going pretty good...just got back from camp, and there have been very good advances on the home front...okay...camp went absolutely wonderful, and i made so many friends up there...it was awesome...emily, ended up quitting one of her jobs(the late at night one), so that means we'll actually get to hang out after all! whoohoo! i might also be close to getting a band put together...that would kick booty...btw, i'm liking the look of the new blogger...tis muy bueno...btw, my friend(adam whipple)'s band is playing at new city cafe on august 22...and you need to be there...i'll be playing and singing on at least one song...be there. OR BE SQUARE!!!!! sorry bout that...i had to say it...what else to write...oh yeah! soon, very soon, there will be a song page up showcasing my lyrics to the songs that i play live...but if you want to hear them, you have to come to new city cafe on thursdays starting next week...(it's the open mic night, but still, i get to play)i'll be switching to playing more original stuff than covers...so...have i mentioned that i'm so ready for school to get going? i love my parents so much, but i'm so tired of living underneath their shadow...and i'm so excited about the journey that i cant wait for it to start up...pray for me, cause i pretty much really need a real job for the short amount of time that i'll be home...cause my camp paycheck probably wont last me until centrifuge...and seeing as that's next week, that's not real good...well, i figure i might as well get on out of here, so until next time...may the God of peace bless you and keep you in His loving arms-Andy

so...let's see...i'm almost as sparing in my posts as derek webb is in his journals...what can i say...i just got back from camp today, i got done with my first week back at work, and it was awesome...and i come back, and have to deal with the fact that i have let some friendships break down to the point that there's no communication. and it sucks. i dont know if there are words to describe how bad it is...i'm trying to recover those, but at least one of them might not happen(i'm talking about my friendship with emily...) shoot...i dont even know what's going on in her life...i feel so drawn to her, to be there for her, but i also feel so helpless because she fills her schedule so readily and so quickly with work, therefore pushing away any advances of friendship that i(or probably anyone else for that matter) try to make. and it frustrates me often to the point of tears. i wish that i could just bloody write a song about this so that i could move on. but i cant. until next time, may Christ be glorified-andy
