The {BEST} concert!

Matthew West, a one man band...what an amazing talent. He sings many songs you know and has written for many others. This last year he had to have surgery on his vocal chords and they said he would likely not sing again, and for 6months.. yes 6 months he could not speak, he could only write what he was feeling or needing... now you will hear his new album... :Something to Say... with the hit single "You are Everything" my fav!!! God worked a miracle!
tobymac...
I now know why he is voted Performer of the Year, every year...
What an opportunity to watch him in concert, they had some serious moves going on! More to come on him later... but this dude is a daddy to 5!!! and his music, dancing, and well everything was amazing! And of course he sang all my favs!
Jeremy Camp, another HUGE favorite of mine...
Lost his first wife to cancer years ago, is remarried and has two precious little girls. God reigns supreme in his music... Throughout the concert he would pick up his Bible and read scripture to the audience. I can't even pick a favorite song... I LOVE them all. He had me in tears most of the night it was so touching.
tobymac... coming into the audience... one row from us and was singing one of his ballads. Some kids from our school were right there and one of them was able to sing into the mic... but it gave me a chance to get a super close up picture!
the theme of the evening.. I LOVE THAT THEY PREACH IN WORD & SONG!
Jesus died for you, Jesus loves you, now go and share this love with others.
Something we all need to be reminded of!
Anyway... Josh and I decided it was the BEST concert we have ever been to!
Thanks to my dad for watching all 5 kiddos so that we could go on our date!
I will post a slide later of some of the other pictures that Darrin took with my camera!
