Always remember the Green Tea Latte
Psalm 85:8
I will listen to what God the LORD will say; he promises peace to his people, his saints— but let them not return to folly.
I've been meaning to blog about this past Monday. It's amazing what happens when you take yourself out of the equation and just make it about God. Amber and I met a super cool girl, whose face completely lit up when we had mentioned church to her. I strongly believe that this girl will be our sister in Christ. Her name is Trinidad and she a makeup artist, as well as a dancer. She even gave us a quick little dance lesson, so Amber and I learned a little bit of a Lady Gaga dance routine. I'm very much a non-dancer but for the sake of Jesus I will dance. Please keep her in your prayers!

Quote from King's Cross
Don't worry, I'm not reading ahead :) I already read the book just to make sure that it would be a good book for our family. It is now one of my favorite books next to the Bible, Mere Christianity, Forgotten God, The Giver, Prodigal God (by Keller) and The Giving Tree.
"When you come under the healing of the royal hands, under the kingship of Jesus, everything in your life will begin to heal. And when he comes back, everything sad will come untrue. His return will usher in the end of fear, suffering, and death."
The healing and redemption that we find in Jesus is unlike anything out there. What an amazing gift from God :) I love where it says, "everything sad will come untrue." God has the most amazing ability to turn my self-produced disasters, mistakes and tragedies into the most amazing opportunities for growth and a deeper appreciation and love for Him. It blows my mind to think that when Jesus comes back, he will literally put an end to death. He has the power, and is going to put death to death. With him, we will experience all the love, satisfaction, joy, and excitement that we have been waiting for all of our lives.

Charlie OUT of the box
I am inspired by the vision for this group. The crazy irony is that the name of this blog really should be called "Charlie out of the Box" because that is where the minds ad hearts of this little family are. I am torn between my desire to be with you guys and working with the kids, but I know that God is working and I praise His name for having this "problem."
Its been great getting to know the people who are coming out. Brian's zeal for life is awesome and I was so happy to see Emily visiting for the first time today. How rad to have women along with us! I also got to talk with Josiah today and had a really great conversation about working in the industry as a Christian. Looking forward to talking to him more. He also was incredibly moved and inspired by the music. In his words, he was impacted the incredible lack of stigma and posture that comes from serving in worship that he had been used to in other churches he's attended. He was impressed by the diversity and was drawn in by how genuine and authentic the worship was. What an incredible compliment from someone who has a discerning eye for that thing. Praise God that He speaks to people the way they need it!
I will see you guys tomorrow nigh, I may be a little late. Be praying for me and Chadd. We are performing as Whyte Noyz this weekend so this week is gonna be a scramble and crazy hectic trying to get prepared. If you can, please come ad see us at the Infinite Compassion concert. Great thing to invite people to! If you want the deets llok here: http://www.facebook.com/PROJEKINFiNITE
