Jeremy Camp Concert

Hey, I haven't posted on it yet, even though it was almost two weeks ago, but I decided to write about it now.

I had the wonderful privilege to go to a Jeremy Camp concert. I went down to Calvary in Savannah with my Youth Pastor and a couple of other youth. It was really cool. A newer band called Mainstay opened for him. They were actually pretty good, but during one of their songs I could hear the drums more than anything else. Of the songs they played, I liked "Hang On" the best. This is the first verse and chorus:

I don't know how I got to where I am
All I know is that I want to go back
to the moment when I fell in love with grace
and I hear You whisper

Hang on, I know your hope seems gone
Hang on, sometimes the heartache makes you strong
Remember the first time love turned you around

You probably get the general gist of the song. After they opened, Jeremy Camp sang with his band. It was AWESOME! I've always like his music, but live it was so much better. I do have to say that his pianist is an amazing pianist. The piano can be heard so much better in concert that off a CD. My favorite songs of his are definitely "I Still Believe" and 'Walk By Faith." Here is the first verse and chorus to "Walk By Faith":

Would I believe you when you would say
Your hand will guide my every way
Will I receive the words You say
Every moment of every day

Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see it
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me

It was a great concert. I enjoyed it so much!

Recent Stuff....... (or Youth Group Fear Factor, NC & VA trip, and Upcoming Church Stuff)

Two weeks ago my youth group hosted a "Fear Factor" for all of the teens. It was really cool. Our youth pastor told us all about it and said he would give $50 to whoever won. So, I went over there just expecting to have some fun. After we did some really gross stuff, we had to drink this disgusting concoction of over-ripe banana, vinegar, baby mac & cheese, garlic, tuna fish, and baby food chicken and rice casserole. We were told that if we threw up we were immediately disqualified. It was me versus 7 other people. Everyone but me threw up, so I WON! And I got 50 bucks. It was awesome!

Last weekend, we drove up to Wake Forest, NC to see our church family. It was really nice to fellowship with all of them. Saturday we drove down to Wilmington to see one of my friend's football game. Sunday we had church and then we did Lord's Supper at one couple's house.

Thank you everyone at Messiah Baptist!!

After hanging around all afternoon, we went on up to Yorktown, VA to see my aunt and uncle and cousins and some of our friends. We got to go to the Jamestowne Settlement. To see my Dad's post on this, click here.

Wednesday we drove to Richmond, VA to see some more friends, and Thursday we drove home. Wow! We had a lot of driving in one week. (To Wake Forest, to Wilmington, back to WF from Wilmington, to Yorktown, to Richmond, and finally home. Whew!)

On October 18th I get to go down to Calvary in Savannah (it was Calvary Baptist Church) and see Jeremy Camp in concert. I'm really excited. My youth pastor is taking any of the Youth Group that want to go. Yeah! (Of course we did have to pay for tickets. Thank you Daddy!!!)

On the 20th of Oct. we have a Youth Group Fall Festival and on the 31st we have "Hallelujah Night", which is a night for the kids as an alternative to Halloween.

So, we have had a lot happen in the last month, and we have a lot that is going to happen in the next month.
