Hillsong United

About a month ago my friend Debs was in town for a couple of days... and in one of our many random conversations we discussed bands we would like to see in concert. Here are my exact words " I've pretty much seen all of my most favorite bands in concert except one, Hillsong, they are the only band I still really want to see live." Not even a week later I was informed that Hillsong United was coming to Orlando!! How cool is that?! Tuesday Chris, Cordy and I headed up to the church to watch one of our all time favorite worship bands. We got in early (thanks friend) and made our way eagerly to the very front row. We very quickly learned that in our haste to get the closest seat to the stage.... we had forgotten some very important facts.
Fact: in front of the first row where we had taken a seat on there was ten feet of open space for people to stand in front of the stage.
Fact: people, even people at a christian worship concert, can be extremely rude and pushy.
Fact: I am short... as soon as people poured into that ten foot space between us and the stage.... all visibility of anything important was lost for me!
In light of these facts after a couple of songs Chris and I moved to the balcony where we found and awesome spot and enjoyed the rest of the concert in peace.
The concert was amazing!! Hillsong United is such a talented group of people who are passionate about God and His worship!! One of my favorite parts of the concert was when they quietly started singing this chorus to the song "With Everything"....

With everything
With everything
We will shout for Your glory
With everything
With everything
We will shout forth Your praise

It was such a powerful moment to be singing those lines with 5,000 other people over and over again. "With Everything" is probably my favorite song at the moment (along with a brand one they introduced at the concert entitled "You Hold Me now"!!) Here are a few pics from the concert!!





The photographer in me came out in the middle of the concert when I turned and looked at the lights on the ceiling and snapped this pic!!
