So many things have been going on lately in my life. Therefore I'll probably make an update post soon. But I thought that I would start with this one moment I had when I went to Kings Dominion on Friday.
So as you already know, I went to Kings Dominion on Friday with my youth group. And I hung out mainly with my three best buddies D, Migs, and Austin while I was there. At the park, there was also a concert going on which had many Christian bands playing. So D, Austin and I went to see Sidewalk Prophets. They were amazing by the way. And that's where this moment of pure bliss played out.
The song "Help me Find It" was playing (If I'm not mistaken). And I was sitting there in-between D and Austin listening to the song. Then I started to look around just to see how many people were listening too. And that's when I saw some people in the crowd standing with their hands lifted high singing. That was the moment of pure bliss. I don't know what really happened, but seeing those few people raising their hands, singing along made me cry. I was actually crying uncontrollably for a few minutes. I was trying to hide it, but when D noticed it, I started crying even harder. It was very odd actually, but in the best way possible.
The way I felt inside was complete joy. Seeing other people who love God just as much as I do, made me feel so good inside. Singing is one way of praising God, and that's what they were doing. Standing even when everyone else was sitting. Not caring about what anyone else thinks of them. It's amazing really. It's still really hard to put into words what I was feeling in that moment. I think that I was just overwhelmed with the beautiful sight of God's goodness. I had never really felt that way before and it was something special.
I know that this all may sound a little weird, but I just had to write about this one moment where I felt so close to God. It was an insignificant moment to most people, but for me it was so much more. It shows how you can find such happiness in the little things. And because I know God, it was even better than any wonderful moment a non-believer has ever had.
