So, I went to Winter Jam 2011 last friday, so the 18th of February. I had a blast, and so did my little brother and his friend. We stayed all the way until Newsboys sang "Jesus Freak." Zach and I got to meet Chris August, which made my day even better.
So the music was awesome, if I can remember correctly, these are all the artists that were there, and in no particular order:
Jason Castro, Chris August, New Song, Sidewalk Prophets, KJ-52, Kutless, RED, Newsboys, David Crowder Band, Francesca Battistelli
This concert was about the best one I had ever attended, I'm not saying it was better, and I'm not saying it wasn't better. I had gone to see Celtic Thunder last year, and it was an experience you had to go through to fully understand. God has blessed me with the abilities to go and see these artists, and because of that, I must believe that He loves me. This pushes me into my next observation, the Love that God has shown me is making me grow as a young lady and as a Christian.
God must really be preparing me for something ahead in my future. It seems that everytime I turn around there is another opportunity for me to grow. There is something there to reward me, something there to teach me, and there is always something there that is going to put me through the refiners fire again. I have just been rewarded with Winter Jam. Now I am entering the learning portion of my blessings. I got to help lead worship Sunday night, the 20th. Not to toot my own horn, but if I am going to be singing and leading God's people into an intamate place with him, I am going to have to learn to go there too. I am gonig to have to be more contientious of the things I do and say. I also am going to have to get some confidence in myself.
I don't think I have a great voice, I don't even think it's good, but I have been told by many, (excluding my family and friends that don't want to hurt my feelings) that I have a very unique voice, and that I am talented. Okay, I know I am talented, I can write, act, and dance...even though I am fat. Lol. But having the skill and talent to sing, that is just one gift I don't think I posses, but apparently I do. So to teach me, God is pulling me out of my comfort zone and putting me in front of a microphone, (where I am the most TERRIFIED!) Not only is this a learning season, this is a fire season. I know I am going to be bombarded with things that are not of God, I am going to have to put up my shield and press through. I am going to have to climb the mountain, go through the valley, and come out knowing that I achieved a goal that God wanted me to achieve.
The such part of it all though, would have to be that God is loving me, and blessing me and my music, I am going to have to see what the Love and Music is doing at the end of this journey. Music may be one of my biggest passions in life. God blessed me with the ability to read music, so therefore I can learn to play guitar and piano. I have both, a keyboard and a lovely little guitar. NOW, if only I had the time and patience to learn to play them. Well actually, I need a power cord so I can play the piano, and I think I am going to buy an electric guitar off of my best friends little sister. It's brand new, only been tinkered on twice! Great deal ya know! Lol
Okay enough of my rambling, gotta go before these girls kill me for pecking on the keyboard. I'm using the computer lab computers, so the typing is very loud and nervewracking ! LOL!! XD
Love and Peace,
Hobbitt
