Sanctus Real... Casting Crowns

Need I say more... phew it was an amazing night. It's hard to put in words the way a song a person (God) can make you feel. I think for the most part maturing in Faith is huge in worship.

I've been to hundreds of concerts where I've sat and WISHED I was closer. Kenny Chesney's sweat hit me and I wasn't ever going to shower... really? Ya I was a little obsessed. It was cool to be in the fifth row. Free tickets, free parking, free entry to the fair and 5th row, to not just any concert but Casting Crowns and Sanctus Real. Which I was more there for Sanctus Real who TOTALLY made me more in love with their music they rock my world, but Casting Crowns was amazing too. For the first time I wasn't begging to touch the person singing or in glory of how amazing they were but more focused on just one person God. I even had a tear down my cheek when I realized that ha wow... this is what I've never felt or discovered at a concert. All musicians are real, and they are all human. I just never have felt so close to people in my life and their stories about real things happening and trials in their lives and why they turn to God.

 They are everyday people they don't get bombarded by paparazzi or people BEGGINg for their autographs but they sure did fill up the Grand Stands. Every word of every song is a piece of you... and it really hits home.

I also don't think that it's a coincidence that I got to go to this concert. I mean Jono did just get home from being away and it's not been easy in this house... not to hang up the dirty laundry ;) but the butterflies and sunshine I thought would never end the second he got home... was filled with rain clouds and storms. We have had an amazing/ rough couple weeks. This has been THE HARDEST PART which I knew was coming and I knew it would be this way just didn't understand it. I just felt God needed me tonight and I'm so thankful for that and to just be with such amazing leaders of Faith. I'm someone who will be excited and on fire for God and the second something goes wrong in my life... I run. I run from the pain and to something that isn't a fix... just temporary things in life earthy things that will mean nothing to my life when I'm dead and gone.

Anyways I don't know what I'm getting at with this post it's so hard to put into words. I just thought I'd throw that randomness out at you and see what you thought! SO, here is my NEWEST favorite song which I was so sad Casting Crowns didn't play... oh well I've heard it a hundred times already, because I"m that person when I get a new song I play over and over and over and over and over.

The other cool part is that Gary and Barb Rosberg are taking us to a free premier of the movie behind this music video. They were so amazing through this deployment two people who don't have any family in the military just have a huge heart for military and love to do what they can. They do more than anyone would ever ask. I'm so grateful for them and their love for God.  So check out this video... it's a good one :)
