my passion.

There is nothing in this world, besides Jesus, that makes me happier than planning a concert. I say this in no joking manner. I've only had the pleasure of doing it once before, but fully intend to do it many more times. There is just something inside of me that unknowingly comes out when I head into planning mode. You see, I can be a shy person, and absolutely hate taking any sort of leadership role because I have always felt like I can't do it. Along with being shy, I am also very soft spoken in an uncomfortable environment. If you were to talk to my best friend, she would tell you that I sound like a little four year old. We'll have to agree to disagree on that, but what I'm trying to say is this:

How in the world does a shy, soft spoken girl break out of her shell and plan a concert? 

I couldn't even begin to tell you. The last time I did this I surprised myself. It made me realize that I had a whole lot of other things inside of me that I didn't even know existed. Maybe when God has a calling on your life, He plants those tools inside of you, only to be brought out when absolutely necessary. Almost like a secret weapon, but not so weapon like. Not so scary. Just something to be used to further His Kingdom and glorify His name.

So I surprised myself again tonight. First, I have to start off by saying something. At the beginning of this week, I woke up thinking "Wow. I really want to plan a concert." The thought hasn't left my mind at all. If anything, it's just been knocking on my door harder. And harder. Today I tweeted "kaitluce has never had the urge to plan a concert more than I do right now." It's true. After I posted it, I prayed, asking God to let things happen how He wanted them to happen. Knowing that He would show me the way if this were to happen. Well, shortly after I posted that a couple of people told me I should go for it. So I went to church tonight and told the youth leader what I was thinking about, and he's ready to go. He wants it to happen like..yesterday. Then, while I was driving home, I thought "It would be cool to hear Jason Gray on the radio right about now. If that happened, that would be one more sign to add the the list that I should continue on with this." A couple songs later, his song For The First Time Again comes on. Yep. Call me crazy, but I have a feeling this should happen. The last time, I sort of just stumbled upon the opportunity to plan a concert.. The opportunity found me. Maybe this time I need to find the opportunity and we'll meet in the middle. Whatever happens in the end, God will get the glory. Anything to further His Kingdom.

P.S. I will keep you updated.

  3. That's awesome! I've never planned something like that, but I've worked my share of concerts and events over the years, and seeing it all come together is one of the best things in the world. Sounds like you need to be an event planner or promoter.

    If you book Jason Gray, I will totally road trip to be there. ;)

    PS: Was said radio station Z88.3? Because I work there! =D
