Last night........

• Last night the girls were treated to their first concert. We went to see Casting Crowns, Nicole Nordeman and Josh Bates. We had a blast!!!!
  As evidenced by.....
  
  
  
  

These are the girls after we got home at MN. The concert got overat 2300. They stood in line to get autographs and meet the singers. Nat stood in the line to see Nicole Nordeman.

Rowan stood in the line to see Castin Crowns. I love the way they signed the shirts with their personal bible verse reference.

Then of course Mom couldn't resist getting autographs. I just LOVE this shirt. I am wearing it to work right now. This is ME! The color and the design. This shirt they signed by their stick figure. Most Awesome!

These bands are great. There is a HUGE testimony that goes with it. The whole idea is to SPARK discussion amongst your friends. Nat LOVES the idea and I can so see her using it.
LIFE LIFT -

• L - Life Changing event. We all have them, getting married, graduating, having a baby, landing a job.... For me it was a terminal infection.
  
• I - Infection I was diagnosed with a terminal infection. I had an infection in my heart.
  
• F - Famous. A Famous person gave me their heart. This person is talked about on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, in alot of Hollywood movies....
  
• T - Transplant - he gave me His heart and now I am saved.
  

Of course the infection was "Sin" the famous person was Christ and the transplant was accepting Christ into your heart. Isn't that a neat way to bring up the gospel?????

After Tony Nolan did his testimony with the ID bands he did an Alter Call. Nat raised her hand high and then even went to the front (which wasn't hard -we were in the front row -she did have to go to the isle.) BY HERSELF - to get a card to fill out so she could be on the LifeSong email/snail mail list. She wanted to be apart of the mailing for the support with her walk as a "new christian." I had tears in my eyes. I was so proud of her. She is growing up. I guess Water Baptism is just around the corner.



Here is Nicole Nordeman. Nat LOVES her. She wants to grow up to sing like her. Not a BAD role model at all!!!!


Mark Hall, lead singer. He gave a testimony on his struggle with Dyslexia and ADD. I saw Nat perk up. It really spoke to her.


Again Nicole Nordeman. Rowan said "Mom, she is so pretty and not Skany like those other singers out there." Leave it to Ro to be blunt stating the obvious.


This is Josh Bates. I have never really heard him but his music was good. He openned. A Lil too country for me.


Again Mark Hall and Casting Crowns. I love this group. I hope that we have more opporunities to go see Venues like this with the girls. It is SO good for them (and us!)
