| Wow...Its been forever, sorry bout that.
Well my Freshman year of college is officially over, Its weird, like id didn't even hit me that i was in college till i was taking my theory exam this semester. I mean like what I am learning now is really what I will be doing for the rest of my life and thats one of the coolest things, no more taking classes that you ask yourself why do i need this, how will I use this? It all fits. But This year went well, It was Extremely busy I took 18 hours first semester then 17 hours this semester, Did ok i would of liked to do better but i ended with a 3.85 for the year...not to shabby so i wont complain.
Ok, I cant wait for this summer, Starting Monday I will be an intern at Bridgeport and thats sooo cool. I mean like i remember when i was a kid going to camps there, so looking up to the interns and thinking how old they were and how much they knew...its weird to think that im there now. But hopefully I cant help this camp have as much influence on kids now as it did on my Christian faith. For thats the whole point of Bridgeport is to strengthen your relationship with Christ while having fun and being with great friends. Its guna be weird not being a camper this year, I was a camper back in elementary school, then Middle school, then i took 2 years off, then went back for JOESPH(a great year) and then last year...haha where i had to run out early to go catch a flight. Good times and Great memories i just hope i can help others feel that way as well.
So to everyone HAVE A GREAT SUMMER! and if you are getting ready for college good luck and remember to have fun cause if you dont it will be a long year. and be safe, Hopefully I will see you all sometime this summer!
God Bless!

| Hey yall,
Lets see its about 12:29 in the morning and i just finished my music theory homework and i got to thinking....How non busy/ simple/ how much free time would i have if i wasnt a music major... Dont get me wrong i love being a music major and I loved how especially in my major music therapy i use music to chage peoples lives...but at the same time its soooo busy...Like choir is 1 hour but it meets everyday then you are expected to rehearse every instrument/voice for 30min to an hour a day....its alot of work, nd because of that i dont have much free time, It feels like because im constantly working so hard im missing part of the fun relaxed aspect of the college expearance, Ive taken 18 hours the last two semesters, Ive made the deans list with a 3.86, im lovong it, but i still think im guna drop back to about 15 hours to see if i can just relax a little and enjoy it more...Right now i almost see going to school as a job and not really a joyful oppertunity for me to learn about something i love... Well thats all for now... my brain kinda hurts fom dealing with non chord tones and suspensions...so Goodnight!
Love ya!

| This weekend I worked at a retreat for younger kids...I was working with the middle school guys, it was a blast there were 14 of them and me and Eric. It was awesome. Anyway a few of the things we talked about have kind of been stuck in my head, and thought I would share them.
#1 Does how we act show what we say we believe? This at first just blew my mind, on the simplest level it’s the everyday "walk the walk and talk the talk" then it’s so much more than that. How can you sit there at church and say one thing then not even 24 hours later turn and do the exact opposite at school. "Would anyone at school be surprised you go to church" and "would anyone at church be surprised at how you act at school”?
Then this was the big one for me. How and where we view god. I just think so many times we get caught up in the hugeness of god. We are running around from bible study to bells, to choir to church, to ...who knows...we go on these great trips, missions, those huge service with lots of music that just give us those god highs, now everyone should know what I am talking about, everyone has their god high moments, for me its Choir camp at Bridgeport and the Good Friday service...and I am not saying that these aren’t important I just think that we as Christians we forget to look at the smaller things, ye all these things are amazing and cool, but when it comes down to it we need to know 2 things. #1 Jesus is our savior, lived the perfect life and died on the cross for us, and #2 if we have him in our hearts, we are saved through grace. So many times I think we forget to step back and look at the smaller side of god. Isn’t god always amazing? Shouldn’t we get the same god high that we do in these big times, in smaller times as well...shouldn’t we get a god high in the smiles of our brothers and sisters, shouldn’t we get a god high that we have a place to worship and aren’t prosecuted for our beliefs, shouldn’t we get a god high always cause god is amazing and unfathomable...shouldn’t we, and its hard...i am guilty just like the rest of you but I challenge you to take a step back, and just look at the basics of your faith again and realize who Christ is to you.
But understand one thing, even when you are on this constant high we should get from god, that doesn’t men there will not be challenges and trials. That’s how god takes that high and tries to strengthen us, so many time we see that as an excuse to stop our high..." ohh I was so excited after camp but then ___happened" why cant we use that situation to strengthen our relationship with him. "Temptation and trial should be a invitation to worship. Worship through those trials that you may continue to grow in his love. One more thing though, if you need prayer, tell people.... have friends and people you can depend on. Even Jesus had those that he trusted.... in case you haven’t noticed Jesus wanted his friends with him during the hardest days of his life. He asked his friend to come to the garden to pray with him. He didn’t go off and pray alone and try to get out of it himself, he wanted his friends, and those he trusted and loved there with him.
So to sum this all up #1 look at the bigger picture of god, and re evaluate your basic relationship with him.
#2 Take joy in all that he is and has done for you not just the big yay things...
#3 remember your friends, and your brothers and sisters in Christ, for being a Christian isn’t easy and there is nothing more powerful than prayer and love.
That’s just what’s been on my mind, and I got a lot of time to think this weekend so. Hope yall read it, and comment if you have anything to say.
Love yall!

| Today was one of the hardest days of my life... Today I drove from Enid Oklahma where my family lives back to Coppell, but the hard part was leaving...I really didnt think it was going to be that hard, but on the drive i started thinking about how throughout my life being away from my parents was a choice, this was the first time im "forced" to be away from them. Then to make it harder, my mom called me a few minutes gone crying saying she wasnt ready for me to leave and wasnt ready for me to be that far away, so i drove back and we sat and talked for a little while, then she let me go, still crying as i drove away. Im ready for school again, i really am, but im still not sure im ready to be away from my family for that long. But im sure once i get back to school, it will all get easier, i just ask for your prayers for me and my family as we try to work everything out and get used to the move. oh ya then if you didnt read the post before this, its the big one lots of info...lol
Thanks, Love ya!

| Hey Everyone,
I know its been forever again since ive updated ill try to get better at doing this more often, its just that use facebook alot now as well. But This semester went really well. I got all A's except for a B in theory...AHHH! lol so i have a 3.83. Im really looking forward to next semester as well...I have all music classes except for a computer science class... As most of you prolly know now. My family has moved again to Enid Oklahoma, Its a small city a hour north of Oklahoma City. The new house is nice, the only thing that kinda bothers me, is that my room is also the guest room, so i dont really have a place that is mine, this house is more the familys house then the one is houston. But its a great mve for the family, Its a better job for dad, and the gilrs have a harder school district that will challenge them more like coppell did. Its been a fun break to kinda be away from school and spend some time with them, cause now i will really only see them on Summer, Christmas, Spring break and Thanksgiving. But im ready to get back and get in a flow of things. My life really has been fairly stable this semester so theres not alot to say. This semester i took and Intro to music therapy and it has solidified my choice for my major. Im more exicited about Music Therapy now more than ever, it has so many ptions and ways it can affect people and change their loves. I Start school again the 10th and till then i wont be doing much except unpacking then repacking again to go to school. lol whoot whoot. Oh i went and saw a movie, Pursuit of HappYness, with Will Smith, its was ok...i thought it was a little slow at times, good story though. Then I also saw We are Marshall, once again another great story, over all its wasnt as good as Remember the Titains but the Goosebump moments, i thought were much more powerful. Oh and since its the new year heres a quick toast to the new year!
To those times we will never forget and those people we will allways
remember. To changing lives and constant memories, may we never forget
the past has made us who we are and the future is unknown, but may it
be full of good times, great friends and memories to last us a lfetime.
Cheers
to all my friends who made this year amazing and unforgetable. I love
you all and pray the best for you in 2007. May you feel like you are
flying on the wings on joy all year long, and know that during hard
times there are those willing to help. Have a Happy New Year!
Love you!
Charlie
