Until the Whole World Hears

I don't have much time, but since I slacked for a week, I figured I'd best check in...
This week will be crazy & prayers are needed! I have two tests, and being a little out of test-taking mode, I'm a little nervous! So, I pre-apologize for my blog and/or Twitter being neglected! I'll get back on things soon!

Yesterday I had the incredible opportunity to meet the bands Caleb, Kutless & Casting Crowns, as well as go to the Until the Whole World Hears OKC show! Let me tell you, meeting Caleb Chapman was a dream come true!! I think his music is absolutely incredible and the only thing that could have made it any better was meeting SCC at the same time! :) Also, meeting Mark Hall & the rest of Casting Crowns was amazing, it's not every day you get to meet someone who has written so many of the songs you listen to every single day! I kind of (oops) forgot Kutless was going to be there until the night of the show, but I was so excited when I remembered. During the meet & greet, I found out Jon Micah, lead singer of Kutless, broke the same bone on the same arm as I did! He was such an encouragement even when telling me of his three surgeries. Every one of the men and women I met last night shone with God's light. They were so compassionate and made you feel like they truly wanted to meet you. I understand it was a meet & greet and that's kind of what's supposed to happen, but they all went above and beyond when showing Christ's love. They were in no hurry, and took time to talk to every single person in the room, sign autographs and give hugs.


After the meet & greet was over, the show began, but it was so much different than many concerts you'll go to. It wasn't just a show. It was praise, it was sincere, and above all, it was an invitation to worship God. The people I met in the meet & greet didn't change just because they were on stage. The concert wasn't a show about them, it was a show for God. I'll take that any day over the garbage on TV, the meaningless music that fills various playlists, and the concerts I attend and forget weeks later. I was challenged, not just by music, but by the truth spoken. If the Until the Whole World Hears comes to your city, GO! It's not a waste of time or money. Your world will be rocked and your life will be changed by the music and words.
