what $40 can get you

For the total sum of $40 I have heard Rebecca st James, Salvador, Paul Coleman Trio, and now Shawn McDonald LIVE.
Thats some mighty famous musicians i've heard all for a measely $40 !! Isn't it awesome being in New Zealand!
I got to meet Rebecca St James, 2 years ago, and i said "hi! how are you?" and she said "hi! good thanks" and grinned, then my time was over and i had to move on, hee hee. When she signed my poster, she wrote a verse for me, and i've learnt it by heart and i really love it:
Philippians 4.6-8 Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart. And God's peace, which is far beyond human understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with Christ Jesus. In conclusion, my friends, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable.

I like that :)

On tuesday night, I got to hang out with Shawn McDonald for over 3 hours! Yep! (shut up Sally and Breo) He's such an awesome dude. I wont tell you all the story again but highlights - i got to check out his foot for him cos he got a thorn in it, he winked at me, i did a jig for him to get a cheap t-shirt, etc etc etc... he's awesome and my eyes are slightly sparkly. (he he how embarassing) (Nah, i'm just kidding) Anyway i really liked his music. It felt like you'd walked in on someone's personal time with God, that you were intruding. His music is very raw. I liked it. It's nice when you can take someone elses personal songs and make them your own.

Um *cough* got distracted... The verse he gave me was psalm 115v1 To you alone, Oh Lord, to you alone, and not to us, must glory be given, because of your constant love and faithfulness.
Also cool verse that i like :)
