-write a song worth praying/praising with
-become a good enough singer to lead
-own a really nice black or brown electric-acoustic guitar with a cutaway sound board and built in tuner

I'm pretty optimistic I'm going to accomplish all of these things before I get the ax. Gotta work towards something, right?
Amén.
Matt, when it comes time to do
ReplyDelete"-eat NY Pizza in downtown New York
-while in New York, visit Central Park"
look me up! I'm right here on Long Island. Love your list. I may copy you and place my own list on my blog. Hope you are well. Keeping you in my prayers xoTrista
Hi Matt,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through another blog. Currently I am a senior in college, and pondering possibly doing a year of service after this. Actually, your service program is one that I was thinking about (not necessarily Costa Rica though; porque neccesito practicar mi espanol y aprender mas palabras y la gramatica mejor!). Can't wait to read more of your posts!
God Bless,
Lianna
Trista, will do when I get to New York. Maybe you can give me the tour!
ReplyDeleteLianna, hey find me on Facebook or something or e-mail me at mattaujero@gmail.com. I'd like to talk to you more and give you an honest gauge on your Spanish. It might not be as bad as you think!
