Winter Jam

AMAZING!

     Winter Jam was phenomenal!!! It was worth standing in line to get in, but next year I will definitely be leaving earlier!!!!! I found two new bands to listen to, and I got to see For King & Country!!



For King & Country

      The thing I love the most... it's church! Several of the performers said it Friday night, "We are in church!" People from every walk of life sitting (mainly standing) worshiping Christ is nothing short of heaven. To hear the Word preached with such love, conviction, and devotion will absolutely move your soul.

 

     Evidently Lauren Daigle is a huge thing, it was amusing to hear the banter on that all night. I got to hear my two favorite songs from Crowder: Lift Your Head Weary Sinner and I Saw The Light! I am now in love with Newsong and Red (new-new favorite)!

     Believe it or not even standing in line was awesome! There are always the people who keep to themselves, but thankfully in our case we had an awesome group behind us as excited to get in as us. I wish I could drag everybody I know to these experiences.  The singing, praising, praying, and messages were just...perfect. It's the worship experience I have been craving- true, raw, freedom to be in Christ.

     I am striving to attend at least a concert a year. You have to be careful though, because these worship experiences can become addicting in a way. Going to concerts and huge group conferences, like Joyce Meyer's Love Life, are not everyday worship experiences and are not meant to be. Some people become addicted to the mountain high they get at these events and forget to dive into the daily-fed worship that we should have with God.

 

     I am planning to see Rend Collective in April with my friend Cindy! Also, Winter Jam announced something happening in July at D.C.  It's called Together 2016! Inviting all Christians from all over to stand together in worship and prayer to God for our country!!!!! How amazing?!?!?! Seriously, planning a road trip for it!

 

 

for King & Country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Thursday night was amazing!!!!!!!!!!

 

     I went to the for King & Country concert with my best friend Cindy! I loved it! If you have never seen them- you must! I love their music and have been wanting to see them for two years.  

     I had so much fun!! The whole experience at the concert was just awesome! First off- I was shocked by the amount of adults/older generation that were there. I wasn't expecting that generation there. Second- I was moved by how many teenagers were there also, lol. That sounds like I didn't expect anyone to be there. It's just that sometimes in today's world you wonder about the next generation. (That's left for another day though.)
     During the Q&A someone asked what they would say to teenagers who are having problems staying strong in the face of our world.... Joel's advice was this: 'Know the truth and pursue the truth. "What is good, what is right, what is true..." Follow the truth as closely as possible, and lean on those who know the truth.'  I wish I had someone who said that to me when I was I high school. It is something that I will hold on to. They are a really good band. They love God, value family (their parents, and Luke's wife and son travel with them), and they are huge supporters of Compassion International. I will definitely see them in concert again!


     I first found for King & Country on youtube when I was searching for Christian music and they just released their video for "The Proof of Your Love"... life changing! The song and the video are life changing....you should watch! ;)
 

A little music....

Every time this song comes on the radio goes up!

This is my current favorite and really speaks to me right now!
