Today was day 1 of GMA. GMA is where a bunch of people come to hype each other about living in a subculture…I struggle with this as you can tell. Today, however, I got to experience something new. I finally am staring to realize some things in life. As you know I have been talking about Worth Dying For a ton lately. But today I realized why…authenticity. Today the band lead worship at a showcase. This is not common. This is abnormal. They believe what they say, do, and talk about…they are not doing it because it is expected, cuz no one is expecting. They dont play the game, cuz they don’t know how…its not in them yet. I have talked to them and told them to protect the innocence. Cherish it, embrace it, share it, live it…
if you are someone who performs, preaches, leads worship, speaks, or whatever, find that original way and reason you did what you do all the time now. Lead to get people into the presence and leave better. Not to make yourself feel good, raise an offering, convince people, sell, or perform. Get back to doing it to get people into His presence. Go back to the reason, HIM! if you do that, all the other stuff will take care of itself. I am inspired again today because of these kids. they have a heart to lead people in worship, thats all…and thats enough.
Sorry i have been so distant, crazy week, and the weekend has been worse. I will blog more about that later. The Kanye show was sick. First, LUPE ripped. It is great to see a new artist get up and take the slot they are given and make it amazing. Super Star was the highlight but he did well the entire set…a future star in the making. N.E.R.D….great producers, terrible performers. Rihanna hit the stage next…and she is a professional. she hit every note, hit every mark, hit every dance step, and did it all classy and professional. Outstanding. Mr. West might need to watch his back cuz that junk was top shelf. Then it was time for Ye. I have been to a ton of shows and have never seen 1 guy get on stage with no band up there with him, no hype man, no dancers and just DELIVER. it was night 2 of the tour so the crew missed a few production marks. Kanye called out the wrong city, not acceptable, but even through all that, the show was amazing. hit after hit after hit I was blown away. Dude brags, A LOT!, but he backs it up. If the glow in the light tour comes to town, its worth the tix.
