So, I have to admit, Heavenfest wasn’t my first pick venue of the day. I was wanting to go see Paramore and the Offspring with other awesome bands at the Big Gig. But before I could make my desicion, a birthday present did it for me. I was excited about Heavenfest, but not sure if it was the right desicion, since Haste the Day would be the only band I really wanted to see in a 12 hour period.
It is now 1:52 AM. My neck is killing me! My nose is burnt. My feet are tired. I am happy.
Not only did I get to see Haste the Day front and center, I also got bonding time with my sister, made my ears aquainted with some awesome new music, and got to watch my friend Evan do some crazyshreddage. If any of you think he tears it up outside of Catalyst, go support him at one of his demos. His team is pretty sweet. One that note as well, Uriel Luebcke is an awesome skater evangelist? is the word. Right after the demo, he was not afraid to preach God’s grace and share his testimony. I think its awesome that he turned something he loves to do and a talent he has worked for to Gods glory and bringing people to Him.
I made me ask myself what do I want to do? What is my passion that I can use to bring people to God and be a bold witness for Him. Im not sure, but I think he has a website where we can support him…I’ll put that in the post later.
OK, a little side tracked. But really the BEST thing about today was to main event. It was just a few simple worship songs and some serious time with God. I was sad to see a lot of people loose interest and pack up theri stuff, but overjyed to hear of people dedicating or reeidicating thier lives to God! So, I am now supertired and have 4 hours before I have to get up for church and another awesome worship sesh with one of my personal favorite Jesus bands.
But I will leave you with this question (I am still trying to answer it myself):
What are you doing with your life to give glory to God and be a witness to your faith? Not a “if only I could do this, or have this, or be this age.” Its all about NOW, Just think about it.

It was crazy that i only really saw 1.5 “Bands” which were actually just solo artists (Bradley Hathaway and Kevin Tweaking to the Max…) but those performances blew me away and i was blessed that God allowed me to experience a show for the first time in many months, on top of skating with the best Christian skaters around all day and preaching God’s good news to everyone…
Glad you enjoyed it even though it wasn’t the primary choice.
