"What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God."
-Eleanor Powell-
Scratch that.... Praise and worship always leaves me speechless. I don't know how to describe the love that goes through me, in me, in my soul when I hear myself along with others (whether it's a group of five or 500) sing a love song to our Savior. Here are some pictures and videos of our evening, I had a blast!
Waiting in line for Chris Tomlin...
The group...
-Antonio, Isabella (me), Alex, Robert-
Chris Tomlin...
I was going to take pictures of Switchfoot but while we were waiting in line we were told that we were the cut off point for people that would "for sure" get autographs. They said that two of us would get through and that the other two might so it was our call if we wanted to stay in line. Well, Switchfoot wasn't going to disappoint fans and decided that they would come to us. I took a video and yes, I was awestruck with most of them. :P
Here's Chad, Jon, Tim, Jerome and Drew (not necessarily in that order):
I have so many videos of the concert, but it would be pointless to post each one. I have to apologize ahead of time on the quality because they were all taken from my cellphone; as it happens most of the time, I left my camera at home on the day that I most needed it. Here are some of the concert videos.
"Our God (Is Greater)"
Chris Tomlin
I like this one because of the sheer joy on my brothers face, the camera catching was a total accident...
"Sing, sing, sing"
Chris Tomlin
"Forever"
Chris Tomlin
Last Chris Tomlin video... Best one:
"Indescribable"
Chris Tomlin
While we were getting everyone's autograph, we met a cowboy named Cailen (sp?) that goes to Happy Trails Cowboy Church. He wrestles Steer before service and everyone that goes to his church is a cowboy/cowgirl that wears a hat and boots. He looks like he's our age but no... he's 14.

| Yes, we were sweaty. It was hot. |

| I don't know why it looks like I'm clenching my teeth and forcing a smile... I didn't think I was... |
"Unity is a struggle... a fight of me looking out for me.. and you looking out for you."
Switchfoot played their new song, "Restless", but Blogger is not letting me upload it. Jon moved into the crowd to sing it which made it increasingly harder for me to record. It didn't take long for a boy that was quite a bit closer to him to ask me if I wanted him to record it for me. He held my phone up for seven minutes and I could tell his arms were tired. He doesn't know how much I appreciate it. Thank you, stranger. I will attempt to upload it again tomorrow. IF it works you will find it here, if not check out YouTube...
We will show the world our love for Him... I just loved seeing everyone with their phones up!
This is one of their most popular songs... Umm. Also, can YOU play your guitar with your TONGUE?!
"This is Your Life"
Switchfoot
And finally the 'encore' (of course after they did the encore we wanted another one!).... Also, surprise and beautiful ending!
"Dare You to Move"
Switchfoot
All in all, even with the heat, the bugs, and me wearing SKINNY JEANS to an outdoor concert in the middle of Summer in Texas, it was a fantastic night. Here's the pictures of the fireworks as well as our goodbyes!
