Second Best Surprise EVER!!

Hey!!! It hasn't been a seven month interval since I've last blogged!! YAY!! Well, anyways, my friend Zody invited me to go with her to this Songs of Hope concert that was held on Tuesday night. Bethany Dillon was singing, which is why Zody had really wanted to go. There was also another band that I didn't know... Robbie Seay Band or something like that? Anyways, Zody and I got to Peace Lutheran Church, where the concert was held (it was a fairly small concert...) and we were just talking about the people who were singing. Zody read her ticked and it said that Caleb Chapman was performing. I just about died. And I just about died even more when I found out that Will was there too! (For those of you who don't know, Caleb and Will are the two sons of Steven Curtis Chapman) Ever since the accident with Maria 18 months ago (I only know that because I read an article online today that CNN did about it), I've prayed for them A TON. I've never really stopped. Some weeks or days more than others, God really puts them on my heart. I actually almost wrote them a letter a few months ago, but never got around to it. So this was amazing that they were there and so unexpectedly!! Neither Zody nor I had any idea they were going to be there. So afterwards, Zody and I stuck around so I could meet them. :) I bought their CD, which has 4 songs on it, but 4 songs that I really enjoy, and they signed it for me. The whole concert I had been thinking of different things I had wanted to say to them, but when I got up there, all that came out was that I had been praying for them a bunch and God had really put them on my heart. It was really awesome because as I was talking to them, I really felt like I had no control over what was coming out of my mouth. I completely forgot everything else I was going to say and as Zody and I walked away, all those thoughts came rushing back in, but it was perfect. God had me say exactly what He wanted me to say. Anyway, like my title says, it was the second best surprise EVER. Coming second only to Bekah's surprise arrival back home from Jerusalem and walking into church totally not expecting to see her for another three months, but having my such dear friend be there!!! Yes, I definitely screamed, but it was a good scream. Pretty much the best scream I'll probably ever scream. :) The end. :)
