The results are in from the concert last night...(drum roll please)

and...

TWO GIRLS ACCEPTED CHRIST AT OUR CONCERT LAST NIGHT! WOOHOO!

Praise the Lord! I was totally blown away by that because it was completely unexpected to me. I did not think there would be much response because I saw students who were really looking at us with pretty blank stares. But that just goes to show you that you can't judge a book by its cover, or a college student by the face their making.

We had 34 comment cards returned, which is huge! I didn't think that there were that many students watching, but that's probably because they were scattered everywhere across the quad, where we played. Some were on benches, at wooden tables, on the grass, etc.

It was pretty funny for us personally since we hadn't played in about five days. We started into "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" and Teresa forgot the lines to the first verse. haha. She wasn't going to try to keep going, so she just asked us to start over again.

And during the intro to "Somebody More Like You" I was praying that God would help me to remember everything 'cause I was so afraid I was going to blank out or something! Praise God I didn't forget anything and played it alright. But I could definitely tell we were rusty after being off the road for five days.

I wish we had more warm-up time given we hadn't played in a few days but we really didn't. Kinda disappointing...but I am a picky musician and you can't have everything in life.

Anyways, again, what an awesome blessing to know that two girls came into the kingdom last night.

Please keep these two girls in prayer. I want to trust that the decision they made was honest and true, but sometimes after someone makes a decision like that, many things start to happen in their lives to distract them from the spiritual renewal that took place in their hearts.

"When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."

Pray that the seed fell on good soil last night. I am hoping that they are not choked by the worries of this world. Especially in college, students can so easily be distracted and bogged down by tests and things that worry them and color their entire world and forget about Christ. Pray that that would not happen to them.

We're off to West Virginia-Wesleyan today. Pray for our safe travels and for God to do some awesome stuff down there as well! Have a great day.
