Casting Crowns Concert

Friday night Marcus and I drove to Belton to attend our favorite band, Casting Crowns, in concert. We both love their music and saw them for the 3rd time- the first time up close!The arena was small, but had great sound from the 12th row. Casting Crowns sang all of our favorite songs and even a few Christmas songs.

One of the reasons I love them is these two girls- Megan and Melody. Megan at the microphone is one of the only plus size artists I know. It is nice to see someone look "real" on stage.
During a concert in Houston we attended 2 years ago, each of the band members picked a group of people to pray for after one of their songs.... fathers out there trying to lead their families, teens learning to stand up for what they believe, soldiers fighting for our freedom, teachers in the important role of educating our future, etc. Melody prayed for all of the women in the arena awaiting a baby and hoping to be a Mom. It tore my heart up as we had completed our infertility consultation that month.

We missed seeing them in April the following year as I was on bedrest having completed our IVF procedure that brought us Abby.

It was wonderful to see them again and celebrate the fact that we had to arrange for child care (thanks Mom!) in order to see them this time around. We praised a faithful and loving God Friday night as we came full circle.

Hearing that really makes you believe in the power of prayer...it's awesome that everything came full circle and that we all have such a beautiful little girl's story to watch and follow as she grows up!

Yeah for needing child care. :) I am glad you were able to come full circle. Little miss Abby is a blessing in so many ways.
