Like one very specific example, two days ago; I was BLESSED with tickets to see my favorite band of all time, SIMPLE PLAN! I felt like I was in high school again, the fact that they came back here was such a blessing already, but to be given the privilege to see them live was such a surreal experience. Really,I cannot even manage to put my feelings into words. I am so happy and honestly, it was definitely one of the BEST NIGHTS OF MY LIFE! Music, Lyrics and AWESOMENESS! :) One of the things that I really really love about SIMPLE PLAN are their lyrics! How honest and real it is. Honestly, their songs helped me during high school, their lyrics were echoing the feelings of probably every teenager and helped me a lot and boosted my interest in music. Though yes, they are not a Christian band, but still, they are a part of my life. I have been blessed as well with the company of great friends who also happen to be my church-mates which made it extra special for me. I had so much fun that night, and it was my first time to attend a concert with friends. I really had such a blast!
The whole concert was superb from the beginning, middle and end! it was EPIC! They started with Shut Up, followed by Addicted, My Alien, Can't keep my hands off you, Jump, then the party mash up songs, Loser of the Year, You Suck at love, Your love is such a lie, Welcome to my life, Jet Lag, I'd Do Anything, Summer Paradise, Astronaut, This Song saved my life, I'm Just a Kid and perfectly ended with PERFECT! (I'm not sure if I got the sequence right but I think that's basically it? haha! hey, I was rockin' out the entire night! hope I didn't forget any songs though :P) but I have to say one,( and yes, ONE) of my favorite parts is when they did a mash up of Forget You, I Gotta Feeling, Dynamite and Raise Your Glass! that was such a party rockin' moment! I really couldn't help but jump and rock on! Though I have to say, David's vocal chops were superb! and the way he hit that HIGH NOTE! was just! ahhhh! But I did have a hard time singing along with Jet Lag because they somehow changed the key cause David did the duet part with Pierre so it was super low for me, but hey! I didn't care! it was JET LAG! I truly had one of the BEST nights of my life and I know that there will be more "best nights"! I am really excited! very very grateful! Pierre, David, Sebastian, Chuck and Jeff were all really great and I could really feel the love and energy that they were giving (even if I was sooo far from them, too bad that I was in the Gen-Ad section that I wasn't able to get any of the towels, bottles, guitar picks and drum sticks that they were throwing!)I was really pumped up! That even when I got home, I was still thinking of the concert and I'm really having a hard time grasping the fact that I did watch them LIVE! I heard Pierre's voice LIVE, he was talking to the crowd, LIVE! Which reminds me of another thing that I absolutely love about them! -they were soo sincere! The interaction with the audience was really cool! They're not like the superficial bands who has this "air" of "i'm too cool for you, im a rockstar blah blah" they don't have that, they are really cool people. You know what, I know that this dream seems impossible, but I hope that I get to meet them one day, maybe even jam with them :P haha! I know that it's a one in a million chance for me, but hey, I thought watching them live in concert was impossible too, but Tada! I did! haha! So, we'll see ;) if it happens, then WOW! (Nothing is impossible with GOD!)
I am very thankful that GOD provided the time, money and energy for me to attend this concert, I really am in awe of HIM because I know that everything comes from HIM alone! I'm glad that God is constantly reminding me to be faithful to HIM and be patient because in HIS perfect time, HE will grant all the desires of my heart. This experience is just one out of the many many blessings that GOD has given me, and HE never fails to exceed my expectations of HIM and leave me speechless. I am so blessed to be surrounded by HIS GLORY!
Father, I thank you for everything!
Remain Faithful and Stay BLESSED,
