Toby Mac and Friends

Dinner for 13 before the Toby Mac concert!  We all met at the Backyard for dinner.  What a crew! Co-workers, family and friends!

 Mike joined us for dinner but did not go to the concert.  He isn't a huge Toby Mac fan.

 Love my teaching team!  Bob's son-in-law, Bob and Paulla.  Bob's son-in-law doesn't teach with us.

 Love my husband too.

Here we are!  The seats were great!  One thing about great seats is the music is louder.
Just saying, it is hard to get pictures at a concert where the bright lights are shining on the performers.  I tried several settings and finally got one that was OK.

Mandisa wasn't the first performer. I was wandering around while the others were playing.  Wow! She has a powerful voice and was open with her struggles in life.  God accepts you just as you are.  You don't have to have it all together.  That's what God is for.  He works miracles in us!

 Favorite song from Mandia was Overcomer!

Ryan Stevenson!

And then there was Danny Gokey.  Dancing and singing for Jesus.  He has quite a story.  Losing his wife right before he was on American Idol and here he is singing for our God.  Speaks to the healing power of God.

 Tell Your Heart to Beat Again! In this moment Heaven's working everything for your good.  Click to listen.  I stopped recording at the chorus because I wanted to watch and sing!

 Toby Mac, Lights Shine Bright (with some one's sleeve in the picture).

 Toby Mac put on a great show.

My one thought about this concert was I wished it was a bit more worshipful.  The music was great but at times it was difficult to understand the powerful words that were being sung.  There are lots of ways to worship God and it is different for everyone.

 When you can't adjust the color right you make the picture black and white.

 This song is one of my favorites.  Move (Keep Walking)!  You should listen to it on YouTube.

Till the Day I Die!  A song about being committed to God until the day we die.  The truth is we aren't going to die.  Our earthly body will but we won't.  We will be committed to God forever!  That is such a good thing!  I love the Lord and I want my faith to become stronger every single day!
