Fun Times

Here I am getting my picture taken with TobyMac. He also signed my t-shirt that I bought at SONSHINE in 2008. I had waited in line for him to autograph it, but the line was too long and they cut it short before it was my turn. So here I am finally getting to meet him!
So for a while I've been wanting to blog about a great concert that I went to in February. So here it is. :)  The concert was by TobyMac and Brandon Heath! I am a huge fan of both of them. TobyMac is really upbeat and fun to listen to. It's especially something good to listen to if you need some energy! Watching him and the band members is really fun....they do all kinds of crazy flips and running around when they're on stage. You can really tell they're having a great time. I don't know how they kept up their energy while doing all of it though, because I was exhausted just watching them! Ha,ha! I didn't get to meet the whole band, but I did get to see TobyMac. He was really cool. :)
 There was a woman sitting next to me during the concert. She was well dressed and probably in her fifties. I asked her who she was most excited to see..and she said it was TobyMac. Ha,ha! I thought this was amusing since she didn't look at all like the type who would listen to his music. And then when his part of the concert started, her and her husband were clapping, singing, and dancing along with the music! It was so funny!
Brandon Heath is one of my favorite Christian artists...his music is inspiring, soothing, comforting, cozy, and crunchy. :)  His newest CD "Leaving Eden" is great! I've listened to it dozens of times already.
Getting to meet him was very exciting! He was super nice and down to earth. I was really nervous about it at first...but he made us all feel very comfortable.
Ah, writing about this makes me in the mood to see go to another concert!
Getting our picture taken with Brandon Heath!

In Your Hands




















                                            
I feel helpless with each new senerio as I think it through my mind.
Never knowing what will happen at any given time.
Sometimes I forget You've got the whole world in Your hands.
Whatever the world throws in the way will be worked according to Your plans.
If You're strong enough to hold the earth up in space,
Then You're strong enough to help me through whatever I face.
You are a God of judgment and mercy, power and love.
And You proved this by sending down Your Son from above.
Your grace is so radient. Your love is so deep.
Your presence is with me through my every joy and defeat.
Your spirit calms my soul giving me peace oh so sweet.
You alone know my thoughts and answer when I call.
You know all my secrets to You I can tell them all.
Your glory surrounds me and it is divine.
Echoing loudly through space and through time.
Of You all creation testifies and sings of Your praise.
And will continue to do so for the reast of its days.
