I think I might have just stolen the spot for a pretend BFF.
Amazing. Breathtaking. Extraordinary. Spectacular. Beautiful. Striking.
Seeing Mandisa live exceeded all the moments I spent daydreaming of what it would be like to see her in person since I found out about her concert 4 days prior to it. Not only did I feel like I had gone to heaven and was listening to the Angels sing, but she looked GOOD y'all!
She sang several of her worship songs from her new cd. Each song blew me away more and more. There's no doubt that this girl can SANG, but she can bring the Word too! Her message was just as incredible as her singing ability. She was incredibly encouraging to everyone in that room Thursday night. She had such a great testimony of her relationship with the Lord. She talked about how when Simon said the horrible thing about her, she spiraled down and started doubting the Lord and shutting Him out of her life. But He sweetly reminded her of what true beauty is in His eyes. That His idea of beauty is certainly NOT what this world's idea of beauty is. And He brought her out of the pit she was in.
Towards the very end of the concert, Mandisa announced this would be her last song. I was begging the Lord to let it be "Shackles" and it was! We were pumping our hands in the air. I could have heard her sing it 20 times that night and still remained amazed.
We were so blessed!
Ella had so much fun dancing to her music!
"Look it's Mandisa!"
Thanks Grandma and Grandad for taking us!

So glad you got to experience the Lord through her teaching/worship. And your little precious one as well :)
Clearly, you two new bff's are going to go on a shopping adventure soon. I just know it :)
Oh get out!! Look at that adorable picture of you two! I'd have that sucker turned into a poster and framed....
So glad you got to experience this...I sort of doubt she is going to be in rural Alabama anytime soon, so i'll live vicariously through you...:))
