The post will seem very 'bimbostic' for good reasons...First off, I'm sick with the flu, spinning head, sniffles and all....the other reason..you'll find out later..haha.
Just got back from the Adrenalin Concert. Hosted by Youthalive...I think. With the band from Youthalive, Pillar and Switchfoot.
It was a pretty awesome concert, though Pillar looked a little like Slipknot, but they did things in a Christian way. I didn't make it close to the stage though. My friend did though, think he got some pretty cool pics of Pillar and Switchfoot.
This would be Pillar..it's blur...what do you expect? It's a camera phone
Still Pillar...They were loud...VERY LOUD...
My ears are still ringing now...
They closed with "Fireproof"
Nicely done..
Switchfoot....I found them better then Pillar..not so much of a 'noise inclined' band..
Still Switchfoot....Don't know most of the songs they used, but they did use "Dare you to move" and as closing, "Meant to Live"Well, these are the shots that I took anyhow..Should have brought my camera in hindsight.
Think my friend has better shots..He better...
Anywho, the other reason this posting is so weird, besides Adrenalin the concert, I also have
"Adrenalin - The Near Miss" bleeding out from my system.
Well, as some of you might know, I've been toying with the idea of buying a car. But after tonight, not anytime soon I think...
On the way back from buying pizza, near a roundabout, along what I thought would be a quiet road at the time of night..which was my mistake, encoupled with the the lovely smell of pizza, a hungry stomach and fogged windows, I didn't pay attention to the road as much as I should have. So....
At the round about, my friend suddenly grabbed my hand which gave me a shock, I noticed a car was on coming near the round about, but I couldn't really see it as the windows were fogged up a bit and I was too near to stop, if i did, I'd end up in the middle of road.
THANK GOD the car was slow enough and the driver was good enough to slow down.
They were probably cursing me and stuff, but I deserved it I guess. I even stopped the car should they wish to have a little scolding fest to which I would accept and apologize because it was indeed my fault, but again, thank God they drove on and other than the little scare, everything is fine.
Well, I can't take this little scare and not drive anymore. It's all in the mind I guess, I injured my leg by a wrong landing during my first SOC, and the low ramp freaked me out abit, but I got over it. I can't let such a small thing hold me back from greater potential.
Which led me thinking, I've had alot of near misses in my life, whether it was me jumping into a pool, slipping and having my head miss my mere millimeters the edge of the pool, or missed getting shot in Thailand, even the dangerous things I do like diving and my airborne jumps. Sure I've gotten injuries and stuff, but none of them have ever threatened me to that extent.
And the ONLY reason I can figure out why that has happened is that God doesn't want me to die just yet. He's still got alot of things planned out in my life. I made a vow to serve Him till the point of death, and I don't think He's going to let me out of that bargain that easily. Which is good....I'm IMMORTAL!!! Kidding...it is stated that we shouldn't go around testing God in that kinda area....But yeah, considering the life I lead which I can honestly say isn't the epitome of Christian life, like the song "Indescribable" goes (Thanks for the song Ra) He looked into the depth of my heart and loves me the same, which I really think I should be grateful for...
I guess, I want to be a person that will have such a presence of God that I can say:
"As Waves Break Upon Rocks, So Shall Demons Break Before Me"
Pastor Benny's phrase really stuck in my mind till now :
"The blood of the Martyrs is the seed of the Church"
I don't usually remember such things, but that really got me thinking, what will I do when the time actually comes? I've been know to forget my promises to God when it becomes easy.
But I hope He will give me the peace to even die so that His word will spread if it comes down to that.
However, I really prefer to live for Him rather then die for Him...hahaha..
But during the final battle, I ask God will give me the first chance to kick satan straight in the rear before God lays the smackdown on satan for causing all this trouble.
