I had the opportunity to go to Winter Jam last night with two lovely ladies. It's because of sweet young girls like them, that give me hope for the world that my kids will be growing up in. They are kind, courteous, pure, compassionate, energetic, loving, and precious. I had so much fun with them!
Ironically (or maybe not so ironically) the ministry focus of the evening was adoption. They were featuring Holt International which is an international adoption and child sponsoring agency. They talked about the beauty of adoption and how God has planned for adoption to meet the needs of His children. Needless to say, I cried frequently, although I tried to hide it from the girls :).
The evening was an amazing night of worship. I love feeling God move in such a huge crowd of people. This is surely a glimpse of Heaven. Many, many different people gathered together worshiping the one, true God. The lights, the loud music, the intensity was what my soul needed. I know that God is not in the storm and the noise, but I couldn't help but think last night "Doesn't my God deserve this? Isn't He worthy of such a performance?" YES!! It's important to find God in the quiet and meet with Him there, but I think it is also appropriate to give Him such a huge display!
One of the performers was Plumb. She is truly gifted and I love her voice. She created an album of lullabies and sweet songs for her babies. Each of our children has had their own music that we have played for them as they fall asleep. So I picked up her lullaby album for our sweet little one. I can't wait to hold that sweet thing in my arms and rock them to sleep as we listen to those songs together. I can remember picking out a gift for each of my children before they made their entrance into our family. I am so excited to give this to our new little one.
