boomin' beyond measure.
oh.
my.
god.
so i went to see tobymac & jeremy camp last night.
freaking amazing, and it really made me think.
matthew west opened. he had surgery on his vocal chords last year and couldn't talk for two months. it was really amazing to hear him talk about it, and how something like that could bring him closer to God.
i guess sometimes it takes silence to hear the things that matter.
he opened with "next thing you know" and closed with "more". i freaking love that song.
jeremy camp apparently lost a coin toss and played next. he was pretty good and some of his songs were better than others, but he preached. a lot. and it was cool and all, except that i really felt like an outcast. he was just going crazy about how God had touched his life in so many ways.
i envied him. i sat up there in my second-level seat and envied his conviction, envied his closeness, envied his trust and faith.
i wondered why i feel so far from God. why i doubt so much. why i want so much to believe and yet can never find that depth of grace that the jesus freaks talk about.
jealousy bites.
but then...
there was tobymac.
OMG.
it was CRAZY AWESOME.
the dancing, the sfx, their amazing portable sounds. :3
i was dancing pretty much the entire time. like an insane white girl. yeahhh.
and it felt right. that something as simple as music could spread love to so many people at one time. everyone was jumping and yelling and stuff, and it was unbelievable.
they actually did "jesus freak" from teh dc talk days.
and what Toby said at the end really stuck with me.
"if you only remember one thing, remember that no matter what you do, you are loved."
so i'm gonna try again.
a second chance to put all my trust in God.
wow. that was simultaneously deep and shallow.
still.
if you have any kind of faith, keep it, hold onto it, and never let it go.
my.
