Away...What can I do ???

Today is my seventh day of staff week at camp. It has been a really great experience and I'm so excited for the campers to come tomorrow. Finally I get to take all i learned this week and apply it...woot !!!

But I really hate being away from my girlfriend, family and friends. I feel like I'm missing out on things at home...especially my grandmother getting really sick recently. My Mom-mom's age has been getting to her. She will be 90 this December. This week my parents are going up to visit her in the mts and of course I can't go. It really tears me up inside that I can't be there with my family in what could be her last moments.

Unfortunately I have to go already, but I really needed to physically express what I'm feeling inside. Tomorrow I need to be there fully for the campers no doubt...but my grandmother will be in my prayers during camp. She will be a muse to me !

Light in the Darkness...

It's always hard being different. Why am I an odd ball (an outcast) for what I believe ? Jesus is the way the truth in and life. If not for him what other purpose would we have in life ? Are we only meant to have a good time on earth, then turn to ash ? No ! We are meant to be risen with our savior, the one who has died for our sins and only asks that we accept and have interest in knowing him.

What am I called to do ? I'm called to hold my light in the darkness and set the world on fire in faith. I know its God's job to change hearts, but I am responsible for planting seeds ! Lately I'm not sure how good of a job I'm doing of that. Tomorrow is a new day and I WILL follow God's call for me....

Appel Farm Day 1

One word...WOW ! This is going to be an awesome experience. First day at Appel Farm Music and Arts Summer Camp. Met so many people already that will also be teaching here, from all over the world (South Africa, Ireland, Brittan, Australia, The Netherlands, Poland, New Zealand, etc). It's so much to take in...

The music dept got together for its first meeting today, its a really creative group. So much desire, talent, and experience in one place ! Very intimidated at the moment, have to prepare for a performance tomorrow and getting a jazz combo together for the faculty talent show. I plan on getting involved as possible and taking full advantage of this amazing experience.

To top everything off i found out I have amazing days off for the summer...things are looking great ! Plenty to do tomorrow, hope I get the chance to write about it !!!

Anxiously Awaiting Toy Story 3

This morning I had my post-op visit to the ear, nose and throat doctor. He said I'm very swollen and probably won't fully heal for another 12 days...bummer ! Luckily he said I can start my camp job on Sunday as long as I don't do any heavy lifting and he said I could go to the movies tonight.

Tonight I will be going to see Toy Story 3 with my girlfriend, Abby Houze and her siblings. I was worried that the doctor would not clear me for going out, but to my suprize he did ! Unfortunately Abby started feeling sick the last few days and a some of her siblings are also under the weather. As long as everything goes to plan we will all be going tonight. Thank goodness we aren't going till 9ish tonight, some of us can get some rest before our experience.

When Toy Story came out many years ago when I was a child it was one of my favorites. I had one of the Buzz Lightyear toys and it had all the features he had in the movie. And Burger King came out with the toys for the movie. BK is one of my least favorite fast food joints but because of my devotion to get the toys I forced myself to eat the kids meal lol.

Well I better go rest or something before the show. Hope everyone that wants to see TS3 gets a chance to see it this weekend, I heard its going to be a real treat !!!

The removal of my tonsils and adenoids: Both a blessing and a curse...

It has been 3 days since I have gotten my tonsila and adenoids removed, and it still hurts ! Before I got this operation, I was told over and over again how much this procedure will drastically improve my life. So far I'm feeling worse and want to know when I will see some benefits !

I'm so thankful for all the family and friends I have praying for my recovery. I'm very fortunate that many people love me and want me to have a fast recovery. God has blessed me with great family and friends.

I know in the end I will be much better off with my tonsils and adenoids removed. God will never lead me wrong. It is my hopes that after recovery, I will be able to sing and play better. I guess time will tell...
