What can music do?

On Sunday Matt and I took two kids from our youth group to a concert.  It was Royal Tailor, Group 1 Crew, and Britt Nicole.  We were going to go either way because Group 1 Crew & Britt Nicole are some of my favorite artists.  While there I learned several things:

1. God has made us all in his image and no matter what someone has told us we really are worth His love & to live a life for Him.

2. Sometimes doing things that are uncomfortable are worth it, if you're doing it so someone else can enjoy something. Let me explain a little better...I don't know who was in charge of the show and setting the stage up, but I'm guessing they have never been in charge of a show before.  The way they had the speakers set up, if you were up front the bass was so loud you could feel it in your throat.  No this isn't me being an old lady who can't take the noise (remember my husband is in a metal band) it was painful to be up front.  So why didn't you move you may ask, the girl we brought with us is 14 and had never been to a show before and she REALLY wanted to be up front and I knew if I moved to the back she would follow, so I stayed! And her face when a lead singer gave her a high five, a member made a heart at her, or Britt Nicole pointed right at her it was 100% worth it.

3. Another thing I learned even made me cry with happiness....Matt and I have been to so many shows and met so many bands it as almost ruined my love for music.  How is that possible...well, if you've done something over 100 times it isn't as exciting as the very first time was.  I remember going to see bands I love and being so excited I couldn't hold it back, just going nuts when they came out.  But now it is not as exciting, don't get me wrong I still LOVE going to shows, but they have lost their EXCITEMENT!  So here is what happened....when the first band came out and everyone went nuts, and the lights came on, her eyes got so big! She was beaming, then he gave her a high five and she couldn't stop smiling, she was jumping, and screaming and she had never even heard the band.  And as each band got on, she did the same thing over and over again!  It made me remember why I fell in love with music in the first place.  It makes people feel things nothing else can.  

So things that you were once passionate about, but may not be anymore...do it with someone who has never done it before. It will change your mind....trust me!

Until next time....Psalm 33:2-3
