Winter Jam

This past weekend was Winter Jam. Probably the largest concert I have ever been too which makes me proud because it was a Christian Concert. It was a really fun day. My husband and I took our youth group pretty early that day.

Just to show you how excited the youth were, we told them to be up at the church by 10:30 a.m. They called me at 9:40 a.m. asking me where I was because they were already up at the church. It was cute, they were so excited.

So we went do to the city, we ate and walked around for a little bit then we went and played LASER TAG. SOOO MUCH FUN!

This was my rank and my ratio percentage. In case you can really see it, it says Rank #1 and 10%. This means that I beat everyone and 10% of the time I shot someone. The next game was better though. My rank was #1 but my ratio was 13%

I've never played that good before. It was so much fun. The boys weren't too happy, neither was my husband. :-) They just didn't like it because I am a girl. Whatever. :-)

Anyway, after that we went to the concert. It was crazy. We hopped into this HUGE line really it wrapped around the building all the way to the back. Fortunately, some of the other sponsers went to see if there was a shorter line. There was. So we decided to go to that line.

This is where we sat. Which was actually really great compared to the open seats that were available. The youth weren't really happy about until they artist playing turned around and walked over really close to where we were. We could see their faces and they would wave to us. They liked that. I knew what I was doing.

This concert was amazing. I loved the speaker; we saw several of our youth make decisions. One I found out later went forward and rededicated his life to Christ(he goes to a different church).

Here is a funny story though. Before the concert started, I was just sitting and talking to some of the youth. I somewhat readjusted myself, like fixing my shirt and I guess I pushed my legs on the chair in front of me. I actually don't remember if I did or not but I'm assuming I did because of what happened next. The girl in front of me turned around and looked at me. She then faced forward, turned back around and smiled because I made eye contact, then faced forward again. She did this two more times. I turned to one of my youth and whispered, "Did I do something to this lady in front of me?" She replied with, "I don't think so." The next thing I know the girl is talking to her friend next to her. Her friend makes a glare at me and then looks away. I then ask my youth, "Do I smell?" She smelt me and said "no." Then the lady in front of me MOVED. She traded places with the girl and now her friend is sitting in front of me. I turned to my youth and said, "What did I do?" and then she said, "I don't know, but she is GLARING at you."   

It was sooo funny. I still have no idea what I did. I really wanted to ask but I didn't want to make scene. I didn't know if this lady would get upset with me asking what was up, so I just ignored it completely. I had a really fun time though with the youth at laser quest and the concert. It was awesome to see how they reacted to the music, because some of them have never really been exposed to that type of music before. We actually bought one of the youth a t-shirt in the hope to motivate the student to be excited about Christian music. He was proudly showing off his new t-shirt.

It was truly a blessing to be a part of what God is doing through our youth.
