Today's theme: Pick a song from your first concert.
This one is SO tough for me because I've seen a bazillion concerts in my lifetime, and my memory is atrocious. When I was a pre-teen and teenager, I went with my youth group to every Christian concert we could get tickets to. The first "real" concert that I can remember going to was Steven Curtis Chapman. In fact, he was probably on his tour following his first or second album. He had a mullet type thing going on, and he looked like he was about 12. But I remember thinking, this guy will be around for a LONG time. Since then I've seen him in concert 2 other times, once as a Valentines gift from my husband (which was probably the best V-day gift EVER, it was very small, very intimate, and we had Q&A time with Steven and his wife Mary Beth, complete with chocolate covered strawberries), the other at the Women of Faith conference in Greensboro just over a month ago. And he's even better now than he was way back when.
Here is a video from one of the songs off his latest album. He and his family have endured so much over the last year and a half. I can't write details because it's not my story to tell.... you can hear his own story here.
He is an amazing singer, artist, father and man. We first heard of him back when we started the adoption process for our daughter from China. They have endurded a lot. Thanks for sharing the song.
ReplyDeleteLove SCC! He was probably one of the first artists I listened to when I "got into" Contemporary Christian music.
