Let's Go For GNO...

Yes...I am sorry, I went there.

Last night Amber & I surprised Kelly with a night out. It took about 45 minutes or so to get to the secret destination and she was trying her hardest to guess but she was nowhere close! As we walked into First Baptist Benton she saw this sign on a table that said Selah...she looked at Amber & I & said Selah...REALLY?

Kelly & I have been long time Selah followers & I could not pass up a FREE concert! The evening was AMAZING & I could have listened to Todd Smith sing all night!!! God has certainly given him an AMAZING gift. Amy was incredibly funny & Alan is one of the most talented pianists I have ever heard...& he is ALOT of fun to watch too!

There were times of tears as Todd shared a little about he & his wife only having 2.5 hours with their precious 4th daughter. But there were times of laughter as Amy talked about workout videos.

The first 45 minutes or so they did "all season" music & after the intermission they did Christmas music. Have I mentioned that I could listen to Todd sing ALL NIGHT?!? There were times during the night that I could not bring myself to sing along or stand...I just had to sit there & just be...soaking in the HOLY SPIRIT!!

If I had to narrow it down...which is really hard I would say my two favorite songs of the evening were "The Lord's Pray (Deliver Us)" & "Unredeemed". I want to share the words of "Unredeemed" with you.

The cruelest words, the coldest hearts
The deepest wounds, the endless dark
The lonely ache, the burning tears
The bitter nights, the wasted years

Life breaks & falls apart
But we know these are

Places where grace is soon to be so amazing
They may be unfulfilled, they maybe unrestored
But when anything that's shattered is laid before the Lord
Just watch & see it will not be
Unredeemed

For every choice that led to shame
And all the love that never came
For ever vow that someone broke
And every life that gave up hope

We live in the shadow of the fall
But the cross says these are all...

Places where grace is soon to be so amazing
They may be unfulfilled, they maybe unrestored
But when anything that's shattered is laid before the Lord
Just watch & see it will not be
Unredeemed

I highly recommend that everyone get a copy of this cd...
