And… on an unrelated note this weekend we had what I hope will be the start of a concert series at Bethesda!

One thing I’ve REALLY missed since leaving Columbus has been the lack of live music. Cause well…that’s one of my favorite things in the whole world. (I’d rather go a concert than do most anything else)

So here’s to bringing the music to us!

This Sunday Night Student Ministries hosted a concert with Warren Barfield.  If you don’t know him.  He’s worth checking out. Seriously.

If you’ve seen the movie fireproof you’ve probably heard his song “Love is Not a Fight.“   I say probably because I have not seen this movie…cause well…I don’t like gushy movies, hyper Christian marketing (thankyouverymuch 40 days of purpose.) or Kirk Cameron.  But that’s just me.  I’m sure it’s wonderful and helped lots of  lots of people…. I’m praying  about my bad attitude as I type.  :^)

anyway….

The Concert was A-Ma-zing! Such a good time. Here’s a video from the concert.

And…just for the record my  favorite Warren song is Shadow closely followed by Mistaken.

I LOVE the lyrics of Mistaken. (inspired by the book Messy Spirituality  by  Mike Yaconelli …and that happens to be one of my favorite books.)

I shouldn’t have to tell you who I am
Cause who I am should be speaking for itself
Cause if I am who I, I want to be
Then who you see won’t even be me
Oh the more and more I disappear
THe more and more He becomes clear

Til everyone I talk to hears His voice
And everything I touch feels the warmth of His hand
Til everyone I meet
Sees Jesus in me
This is all I wanna be
I wanna be mistaken
For Jesus
Oh I wanna be mistaken
Do they only see who we are
When who we are should be pointing them to Christ
Cause we are who He chose to use
To spread the news
Of the way the truth and the life
Oh I want all I am to die
So all He is can come alive
Til everyone I talk to heart His voice
And everything I touch feels the warmth of His hand
Til everyone I meet
Sees Jesus in me
This is all I wanna be
I wanna be mistaken
For Jesus
Oh I wanna be
Oh I need to be mistaken
For You
Lord i wanna be mistaken
Mistaken

May He touch with my hands
See through my eyes
May He speak through my lips
Live through my life
I want Him to
I want Him to live
