Drummer Boy Christmas

 I never expected to get to go to two for King & Country concerts in a year. We got to attend A Drummer Boy Christmas tour in Nashville, TN. We did not have our new phones for this concert, so the pictures I did get will not be great quality. Like Christmas, I took more video than pictures, so we will see what I can come up with. We plan to make this concert a tradition every year.

The concert was held at the Gaylord Opry House. This was our first time at the venue. We got to drive through the beautiful lights. I could not get good pictures because I was in the back, and you weren't allowed to stop. It was breathtakingly beautiful!

For King & Country never disappoints! They are high energy and know how to work the crowd.

At one point in the concert a few musicians joined them on here as it was lifted towards the ceiling. 

I love that they use live musicians outside of the rhythm section. The man playing the cello is their band leader and he plays several different instruments. My music loving self was blown away!

I had to include a couple of videos. This is the beginning of their song Relate. We didn't get to see these elevators in Knoxville, so it was neat seeing something new.

They ended the show playing Drummer Boy. I think it is neat they also play instruments throughout their show. They truly are talented. After Drummer Boy they walk off stage, and then come back for an encore. Their encore is Joy. I can't recommend their concert enough!

It's Not Over Yet

 It's Not Over Yet is the first For King & Country song I remember hearing. It wasn't something I chose to do on my own, but something God pointed me to. 

I remember the day as if it were yesterday. I was going through a really rough time in life; one of those moments you think you will not make it through. I prayed and prayed, and God assured me He had everything under control. In this particular moment, it didn't seem as if He did. Maddy and I had been visiting my grandmother and were on our way home. I was looking forward to turning on my iPod and singing my heart out. God had other plans. As soon as I turned on my iPod it died. I ended up turning the radio on. God told me to listen. The words it's not over yet just kept repeating. As I listened to the song I started crying. I knew God was talking to me through this song and I needed that more than ever. 

I am so thankful my iPod ended up dying that night because I was given a song that reminds me that it's not over and there is hope. God can and will do the impossible.
