"How Great"

Friday, October 6th, 2006. The Starfield concert.

I have to say that it was the most amazing concert ever! There was though, a couple of moments that caught me off guard.

We were singing "How Great is Our God" when I was hit by this wave of emotion. Tears brimmed in my eyes, and I felt so... alive. And then when we sang "Son og God" the chorus explained my emotions exactly!

"Jesus, Oh Holy One,
I sing to you,
Forgiven.
Saviour, I'm overcome,
By your great love for me.."

I felt so free, and happy, and.. overcome! I was overcome by Jesus' love for me. I was overcome by how all of the people around me were worshipping without a care who saw them. If we acted like that in life, without a care about what people think about our faith..... It excites me. Jesus is the most amazing thing to happen to me, and I want the world to know it.

To my friends and fellow concert goers, you guys rock. I love you all, your all going to live amazing lives, your forever in my heart.

To Dan, Janelle, Brad, and all those other youth leaders who have touched my life... Thank you. Thank you so much for being there for me. Love you!!!

So, to the world I say: Be yourself, let your faith run free, tell everyone how good you feel! Jesus loves you. Peace out, blog dawgs.
