More Like Falling in Love

Recently, I’ve had a few too many commitments and not enough time to get them all done. On Tuesday my friend Kristen asked me if I wanted to go to a house concert. My initial reaction was – eww sick, House music SUCKS! And then I realized that it was actually a concert in a house…so I said yes, after all I like concerts, and it was Jason Gray who was one of my new faves. I spent Wednesday going back and forth and driving home from work I was in my car in this awesome moment of worship, loving this song “More Like Falling in Love” and when it ended the voice in the radio said, and that was Jason Gray! It was one of those moments where I just felt like God was saying, you’ve got to go to the concert, you’ve got to go! So I got everything done and I went, and it could not have been a more amazing experience!

So this could go on forever, so I’ll try to keep in somewhat brief but…the night was a tremendous blessing! Scotty Hays opened and was quite entertaining, though I really can’t get over his guitar and exactly how it was also a drum…I resist the wording that Jason came on next because this didn’t feel like a big performance. He was more real than most people you know on a daily basis, sharing his life and struggles and insecurities. It was as if you knew him, and truly God used him to speak clearly in those moments…so here are a few things that GOD said through Jason last night.

1) Love ME, don’t be so legalistic, LOVE ME!
2) I am using your brokenness, LET ME; don’t run from the opportunity to minster through your pain.
3) I know what I’m doing; your problem may seem big now, but TRUST ME!

There were also a few other things he said that I am sorting through and just really pondering

1) Why is it that the hardest place to be yourself, and be transparent is in the Church?
2) If I tell my story right, I am telling all of our stories.
3) At the heart of our beings we are idolaters!

None of this is a direct quote of course, because my memory isn’t that good. But I hope that some of this causes you to think and listen to his music and see what God has to say to you!

And on other craziness, I got in the car to go home, turned on the radio and what was playing, “More Like Falling in Love”!
