Rock Band

Lately i have been really ranty and right now i really don't want to make an entry like that. So i won't.
The thing i want to say though is that it was amazing to see God today.
Just to let you know I spent my day back at home before winter break is over. This weekend I went to the Battle of the Bands at my old high school to see some friends play in it.
I am not going to lie these guys were great musicians and their competition was good too but one thing really stuck out to me. The last song of their set they chose to play Amazing Grace.

First off I think that was an awesome and very tact choice( and tact is a very big score booster on my scale). But what caught me was their attitude comming into this thing. As we huddled off stage before preparing to go we joked and talked about the changes they had made and to remember them when playing. Basic prep stuff. But the next thing was a very awesome thing to say.
It was as if God entered the room then even as dark as it was because all jest left their faces. Then via the mouth of Matt Fellers came the something that surprised me. He said very intuitively and very seriously:
"Guys remember, just remember when you are out there forget the audience, forget the other bands, just forget winning. We have aren't here for them, we aren't here to win, we are playing to Jesus with the talents and skills God gave us. Do it to show all those people lost out there why we play"

Now those aren't exact quotes but really that statement we are to use our skills and to just play for Him hit me big time. And thats not because i never realized i was supposed to use my talents for Him but more so the heart of the guys in this band. That amazes me. Really tonight God softened my heart a little and it definately needed it.

well i just want to pray really quick here for you all and then i am out for bed

Dad, I just ask blessings on that band, thats really cool but moreso dad I ask that you show me that kind of will power and ministry with the things I love that would allow me to feel the warmth of your smile when I follow your will. Your so awesome and thanks for being proud of those guys tonight, they really love you dad. good night.
