Cornerstone Church in San Antonio - Jan 25th

[Kelly]

Guess what....

I'M GOING!!! :D

My sis told me last night that she couldn't work out a deal with her ex because she's already changing their schedule in March so the kids can go on vacation with us. So I asked a friend of mine and he said absolutely, yes! :D His work schedule kinda changes from time to time, so I'm scared that something might come up, but he thinks it's close enough that he'd know by now if they were gonna make him work :)

YAY!!! :D

[LauraA]

Kelly! I'm sooooo very:) happy :)to hear it. I was so sad for you when you said your sister couldn't go. Praise God. Another answered prayer to be thankful for. YEAH!!!!:)

[Kelly]

God is SOOO good! :) I almost texted you when I found out, but I'm at work & had a customer come in so I got sidetracked :p

[LauraA]

LOL!! I'm so thrilled for ya. Text away anytime you want. (I usually don't answer because outgoing texts are charged...I don't have a text plan. But incoming are free.)

[Give_me_Jesus]

Awww! Yay Kelly, that's SO SO SO awesome!!! =] Can I send you a birthday card for Jeremy? haha. Love you!

[cori]

yay kelly!!!! :) soooo happy for you! :D

[drake71449]

go kells go kells its ya bday!!!

:p

[Kelly]

Well it was :p Close enough ;)

[cori]

it's a pretty sweet birthday gift, huh kelly? :) (wish i wouldv'e thought of it!!! ;) lol)

[Kelly]

You bet!!! It's funny...I've been to two JC shows & he's taken me to both but he never seems to be that into it (he's more of a hard rocker kinda guy). But I sent him a message asking and he was like "The fact that you would even ask me that shows how little you know me! Of COURSE I'd wanna go!" My bad! :p Perhaps I'm converting yet another JC fan :)

[Kelly]

Ok so I called the church this morning to get more details about the show & the lady was having a total case of the Mondays! She had a VERY sarcastic tone! She told me the show was free & I asked "So do we just show up or do we need some kinda ticket or wristband or something?" To which she replied "I just said it's free, so you just show up" :eek:

Then I said "Ok, also I have a meet & greet. You wouldn't happen to know if it's before or after would you?"

Her response: "Meet & greet for who?"

Wow. :p

[Give_me_Jesus]

Haha Kelly...obviously, she just doesn't know how good Jeremy's music is! Cause if she did, she wouldn't be saying 'Who?' She'd be saying....'Meet and greet?!? Where do I sign up??"

:D Love you!

[drake71449]

kells you need to call back and sing some of J's songs to her....cuz ymbatci you sing J's songs to ppl over the phone

:p

[Kelly]

Hehe so true!

Haha Kelly...obviously, she just doesn't know how good Jeremy's music is! Cause if she did, she wouldn't be saying 'Who?' She'd be saying....'Meet and greet?!? Where do I sign up??"

:D Love you!

[LauraA]

LOL. Oh dear. I think I'd call back and see if I could catch another person to ask. Well, I hope Miss Monday can go to the concert and experience true joy. Poor gal had a rough day.

[drake71449]

meet and greet...where do i stand in line at? lol

:p

[Kelly]

You guys!!!!! I could CRY right now!!!!

My friend just told me they're changing the schedules around at work & there's a good chance he may get stuck with Sundays!!!! :( Grrrrrr!!!! He's gonna try and find out tomorrow and if he gets scheduled that night he's gonna try and switch with someone, but there aren't too many people in his position so I'm scared!

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! How many times am I gonna go back & forth on this?????? Grrrrrr!!!!

Although, I was talking to my parents the other night when my sis-in-law said she couldn't go, and they almost sounded like they were going to offer to take me so that may still be an option. But grrrrrr!!!! I just hate that I can't say "Yes I'm absolutely going!" you know? UGH!!!! Yall think good thoughts please!!! :(

[Give_me_Jesus]

Kelly, satan is messing with you. He's a jerk like that. Trust in the fact that you have a loving Father, and that you ARE going to the show. Take all this to the feet of Jesus, and tell Him you are being attacked....He knows how to beat satan down real fast!! =] I love you girl, and I'm praying over this!!

In Him,
Miranda

[drake71449]

praying for ya and like miranda said...claim the fact that satan is not going to deter your faith in Christ and that you know that good things happen for those who love the lord

:p

[Kelly]

Amen you guys!

And praise God! My friend just told me he's 99% sure that he'll be off that day! Woohoo!!!! He said they still haven't figured out his schedule but they told him he would NOT be working Sundays.

[Give_me_Jesus]

Yay Kelly!! So stoked for you!!! =]

[drake71449]

thats rocks...glad to hear the good news...god always provides a way!!!

:p

[Kelly]

Yes He does! It's amazing what He will do when you just lay it all before Him and trust in Him! :)

[LauraA]

Amen you guys!

And praise God! My friend just told me he's 99% sure that he'll be off that day! Woohoo!!!! He said they still haven't figured out his schedule but they told him he would NOT be working Sundays.

Praise God!!! I'm thrilled to hear this. The Lord continues to bless and provide. Like you guys are always saying to each other, HE rocks. LOL. Well, not only that, but HE IS THE ROCK!!! :) I'm happy for ya, Kelly!

[Convicted]

I hope you have an awesome time Kelly! I just remembered also... the 25th is the Chinese new year eve. :D (or as they say, Spring Festival).

Have fun!

[Kelly]

Just got an email from my aunt asking if I was going to the Jeremy Camp show this weekend. She doesn't know me at all! Hehe. Good to know I have backup just in case though! Nothing can stop me now! ;)

[cori]

lol kelly, have fun!!! and make sure you post pics!!! :D

oh...and you're off the hook as far as espionage - i've got it covered (can email specifics if you're interested ;) ). thank you, though!!! :D

[Kelly]

Awwww man! But I just got my spy kit! Hehehe kidding! Glad you got what you needed :)

[cori]

lol, well...any info obtained could be used at a later time......but, for march, got it "covered" ;) lol

[Kelly]

Cool beans :)

THREE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D WOOHOO!!!!!!!!

[cori]

sooo excited for you, kelly!!! :D

[drake71449]

we gotta have pics kelly and tell him about me...a guitar playing J fanatic lol
and ask him about the bossier concert and the "pink poster"

:p

[Kelly]

Dang boy! How much time do you think I'm gonna have with him??? Hehehe kidding! I'll do my best ;) And you KNOW I'm gonna have pics! That reminds me...I gotta call and ask if cameras are allowed! :eek:

[LauraA]

I'm on my way down to TX!!! I can't take this!!! :eek:

[Kelly]

Hehehe come on down girl! Hey did you see on the thread Cara started in Other Bands about a Matthew West concert in IN? We're discussing a possible Indiana Mod Squad CAMPout! Would be a BLAST! They're both up for it of course since they're there. It's just up to you and me if we can get there. This summer maybe?

[LauraA]

I didn't see the thread. I'll go look. IN isn't a problem for me. It's only a few hours away. (Unless gas goes way up. Also it depends on the day of the week.)

[Kelly]

So get this....just a week ago I was in tears thinking I wasn't going to this show. Now I'm going with a group of about 6, if not more :p

The friend I'm going with invited his brother as well as 3 of our friends who all said maybe. Then a friend of mine from Kids Club is coming with us and my aunt is going! Crazy! Oh yeah, and of course I hope to meet up with Sandy at some point! You better be going girl! :p

[LauraA]

^^^Blessing! I get giggly just thinking about it.

[drake71449]

God will Provide....when doubt invades it would have overtaken had we not remembered always to believe....god will provide....

www.hirstmusic.com ....the song explains it all

[Kelly]

Love that song! :) Just noticed it on my FB profile yesterday and listened to it :)

[drake71449]

:p

[Kelly]

Don't have GMC :( But someone's recording it for me :)

[drake71449]

it was good but i expected more....like more of the new stuff...i cried when his dad cried

:p

[Give_me_Jesus]

I did too! I cried when J almost cried...I was like AWW!! I heard things that I had not heard before. J and his family have such beautiful hearts. =]

[Kelly]

:eek: His family was on there???? Oh man I HAVE to see this!!!

Oh Cori!!!! Are you REALLY gonna make me wait till Valentine's Day???? :eek:

[cori]

lol, no....i was gonna send it as soon as i get the dvd from the friend who recorded it for me for you. (along with the rest of the valentine's day stuff....so....*throws confetti* SURPRISE!!!! lol) :)

it really was a great one. the first one (i'm guessing it's the first, but..i'm finding out that there's a whoooole lot more jeremy stuff than i thought before i finally got on board! lol) was great, but...this one is sooooooo much better. i was totally disappointed when it was over! (even though it was followed by the live unplugged thing - dude, totally off topic here, but...seriously? THOSE front row seats? those are SOOOO the front row seats i want!!!!! :D that would ROCK!!!!!!! anyway....) it was very.....in line with the rest of his ministry - transparent. i loved it!

oh...and kell...if i can afford it, i'll send it overnight. :) (depends on what the bank says i have... :S ... but if i can swing it, i TOTALLY will!)

[Kelly]

I think you're gonna have to now with all this talk about it making me anxious! Hehehehe

Seriously though, your friend needs a HUGE hug on my behalf! :D And you too!

I can't wait to see it!

[Kelly]

It's here! It's here! It's finally here!

Not sure yet when we're leaving. Originally planned to leave at 4, but we're hearing more and more people going to this thing, so we may leave as early as 1 or 2, in which case I better start getting ready! :p

[Kelly]

I just realized something. J posted a pic of Ari at Chuck E Cheese yesterday. I don't know if the pic was actually from yesterday but if so, that means the girls might be at the show tonight! :eek: How AWESOME would that be???

[Kelly]

Still waiting to leave.....

My friend who was going to meet us here & go along has not contacted me yet and I don't have her number, and my other friend is still waiting on the guy he invited who is nowhere to be found. Trying to be patient, but I just get so upset when I make the plans & everyone else does whatever they want you know? I just need to relax and know that we WILL get there :)

[Kelly]

Just got the email about the M&G. It's at 6:00 so as long as I'm there by then, I'm good :)

[drake71449]

hope you got to go and all...god bless

:p

[Give_me_Jesus]

So, Kelly, by now you've probably met and gret J! YAY! So stoked for you! =]

[LauraA]

Can't wait to hear ALL the details. I'm so happy for ya. HAVE A BLAST!!!

[godslilkitty]

Ohhhh you were there!!!!! I was too!!!! it was awesome! Its a good thing that guy came and gave my family and I tickets lol. That line was insane.

[Kelly]

You guys,

I can't even BEGIN to tell you how blessed I was tonight! It was without a doubt, the strangest, most stressful, most AMAZING night of my life! I'm going to blog about it because I know I'm not gonna have room to write it all here! Yall thought my first two reviews were long, you just wait! While you're waiting for me to post, you might wanna grab a chair and a few snacks! :p

[Bubelaiken]

Hey kelly
Did you tell jeremy hi for me lol lol

dont worry i can't wait to see your posting about the concert

Kelly... last nite was awesome! god has been soo good to us! you would be liking our night. you would be having fun and everything!

[Kelly]

No I forgot! :( I'm so sorry! The whole night just threw me for a loop! I almost forgot to even take a pic with J! :p He's the one who said "Hey did you want to take a pic?" Hehe

Oh and just FYI: the church held 4,000 people....they had to turn FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE away!!! :eek: It was seriously only by the grace of God that I was there tonight!

Here's my review! :) Enjoy!

[Give_me_Jesus]

totally just read it! So So excited! =]

Did you give J the bday card? It had a $10 Starbucks card in it! :P Starbucks is yummy =]

Kelly, I'm honestly giddy right now from reading your story. =] Yay!!

[Kelly]

I sure did :) I didn't have an envelope that fit the card so I just kept it in the one you sent me & scratched out all the addresses. I was going to explain to him why there were a bunch of black lines on the envelope but I totally forgot hehe...oh well.

[sv3]

What an amazing story! Why is it that every time he comes to San Antonio, things never turn out like they are suppose to?? LOL. I mean, it should be simple right? Get the email, meet us here and so on, but I guess it turned out better for you this way because you got to spend some quality time with J and Matt.:D Anyhow, I'm glad to hear you got to go in and meet him, it was all meant to be!

[Kelly]

Hehe I know right! There's just something about San Antonio! :p

[sv3]

Well, we got back into town about 4:40 p.m. and we were seriously thinking about going, but something told me that there would be a large crowd, since it was a free concert. So, glad we didn't try because we would have never had a chance. So, we'll just have to catch another one. Do you happen to know if he will be in ATF in San Antonio? I looked on the ATF website and it doesn't show Jeremy as one of the bands. Hmmmmmm

[Kelly]

Hmmm....I don't know...I know they had to change the date, so maybe he couldn't make the new date or something. I'll have to check that out.

Would've been AWESOME to see you, but you definitely didn't stand a chance at getting in! I remember hearing about them turning away thousands of people in CA but I thought "Well that's CA...it won't be that crazy here." But they turned away even MORE here! CRAZY! We WILL get to a show together soon! Matt said that they're working on several TX dates for the SLTB tour! :)

[drake71449]

well i am gonna be in bossier extra early....glad to hear that you made it and its amazing how God blesses!!!

:p

[Kelly]

Oh my gosh you guys I wanna cry! That couple that got me into the show....well right before they did, I put their number in my phone. I just looked for it and it's NOT THERE!!!! :(

[godslilkitty]

It was my first Jeremy concert and it was awesome except for the fact that we had to sit in the very very back :(. I got tons of pictures.

[Give_me_Jesus]

Thanks so much for giving in to him, Kelly! I know that it's hard to remember everything to do when your actually talking to him. lol. Are you still floating?? =]

[Kelly]

Well luckily I had plenty of time to let everything come to me :p So it was easy to remember. Plus I had it all in my hands so there was no way I'd forget :)

Yes I'm still floating! I came in this morning & sat at the table with mom & started thinking about everything. Mom goes "Are you ok?" And I go "Yeah, just thinking about last night" & she goes "Your eyes are totally glassed over!" Hehehe

Oh and I just got back from having a CT scan done. I'm claustrophobic so the guy said "Just close your eyes and it will be over in 3 minutes." I closed my eyes & immediately started thinking about last night. I've just been smiling so big all day! :D

[drake71449]

great the ct scan went well and all

:p

[Give_me_Jesus]

Haha, Kelly, you are so awesome! How did your CT scan go?

[Kelly]

I'll have to call the doc in a few days to get the results, but they didn't rush me next door to the hospital so that's a good sign :p

[LauraA]

Oh my gosh you guys I wanna cry! That couple that got me into the show....well right before they did, I put their number in my phone. I just looked for it and it's NOT THERE!!!! :(

I told Dan last night, and Connie today...now I REALLY think...those two were angels!

[Kelly]

I could not agree with you more Laura! I'm just shocked because it even said "Saved To Phone"! I've looked and looked to see if I accidentally spelled it wrong but there's nothing anywhere!

[Give_me_Jesus]

I was thinking about that this morning, Kelly. I agree with Laura, and you, I think they were angles. What beautiful hearts! Kelly, I'm so giddy over the whole thing! Man, GOD IS SO GOOD!!! :D :D I love you, girl!

[LauraA]

God is faithful!! :)

[LauraA]

Excellent write up of the night, Kelly! I loved it! And the picture is great. You have something very special, with that little note of encouragement from J on your CD. What a treasure.

I almost regret deleting my MS account, just knowing they are going to be looking at it. :D Do they know it's on Facebook, too? lol

Thank you so much, Kelly, for sharing your night with us. I can feel your excitement! So happy for you!!!

[Heidiej]

I could not agree with you more Laura! I'm just shocked because it even said "Saved To Phone"! I've looked and looked to see if I accidentally spelled it wrong but there's nothing anywhere!

Wow Kelly! What an awesome night!! I have to admit, when I read your blog about last night, I was totally convinced that those two were angels! God is good, all the time!! So glad you had such a blessed evening and a great time with J and Matt! :)

[Kelly]

It was so awesome because all night I thought "what angels those two were!" But in the non-literal sense of the word you know? But then when I noticed the number wasn't there when I SAW it save....I was convinced they were actual angels! Praise God! :) That plus J signing my CD "God is faithful" I just can't say enough how much of a blessing the whole night was!

[Kelly]

I just found this Scripture that I wrote down that J shared last night.

2 Cor 4:16-18 "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

He shared several but I didn't catch them all...most of the ones he shared though were the ones that went along with each song.

And he told the most precious story about Ari. He said the other day she was eating an ice cream cone & he just thought she looked so cute. He went up to her & hugged her & said "Daddy loves you so much!" Then he stretched out his arms & said "I love you this much! How much do you love me?" Ari stretched out the arm that wasn't holding the ice cream & said "I love you this much!" J said that we all do that with God. We say we love Him so much, but there's always something we're holding onto that keeps us from stretching BOTH arms out & loving Him with EVERYTHING we have!

[LauraA]

That is such a precious and powerful story.

[Give_me_Jesus]

When I asked J what the Lord had been teaching him, he talked about the same Scripture, Kelly. It's so true. We have so much In Him...we need to always be on watch, always willing. His love is so amazing.

[Meadow]

I just found this Scripture that I wrote down that J shared last night.

2 Cor 4:16-18 "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

Ari stretched out the arm that wasn't holding the ice cream & said "I love you this much!" J said that we all do that with God. We say we love Him so much, but there's always something we're holding onto that keeps us from stretching BOTH arms out & loving Him with EVERYTHING we have!
That's adorable- that reminds me of the children's book "How Much Do You Love Me?" little brown hair rabbit and the daddy rabbit(I think)- thru out the book they continue to ask the same question and continue to compare each others love like... "i love you as high as the moon and beyond we can see." It's really a cute story- i wonder if J and Adrienne has been reading it to the girls?:)

[cori]

"i love you to the moon...and back."

that book makes me cry EVERY time i read it!

[drake71449]

its amazing what God teaches us through our children!!!

:p

[Give_me_Jesus]

Kelly, do you remember when J shared the story about Ari...what song was it before?

[Kelly]

It was right before Let it Fade. Why?

[Give_me_Jesus]

Because there's a video of it on youtube somewhere, and I couldn't remember which song he shared it before. When I find the video, I'll post the link here so that everyone can see it =]. It was about to drive me nuts that I couldn't remember! Haha. Thanks Kelly!

[Kelly]

Oh very cool! Yes please share it if you find it! I've been hoping that someone posts videos from the concert but haven't found any yet.

[drake71449]

i havent found a new video yet!

:p

[Give_me_Jesus]

Totally just went through 12 pages of video, and couldnt find the one i was looking for! I really need to go to bed hahaha. Dear Jesus, please give us a two hour delay tomorrow. ;)

Love you guys

[Kelly]

I was talking to my Kids Club director's husband tonight & he asked all about the show on Sunday...I was telling him about it and told him they turned away 5000 people. He goes "Yeah that would include us" Awwwww :( I felt so bad! But I told them about the Dallas show & they said they'll have to think about that one :)

[drake71449]

hope they will go and give ya a ride!!

:p

[Meadow]

That's adorable- that reminds me of the children's book "How Much Do You Love Me?" little brown hair rabbit and the daddy rabbit(I think)- thru out the book they continue to ask the same question and continue to compare each others love like... "i love you as high as the moon and beyond we can see." It's really a cute story- i wonder if J and Adrienne has been reading it to the girls?:)

I came across Kristen's book (when she was little) it's called "Guess How Much I Love You" by Sam McBratney and the rabbits are called hares so "hair" isn't part of the name I thought it related to the color of the rabbits-goes to show my memory is slipping. Big BrownNut hare and Little BrownNut hare:D
You all could probably could care less, but I wanted to make right.:D

[cori]

lol leigh, i went into my boys room right after reading that post - turned on the light & everything (they were already in bed! lol) to try to find the book so i could read it again. i love that book.

i love you right up to the moon....and back.

*sniff* :)
