Inspired....

Earlier this month, our family was very blessed by the opportunity to attend a concert by the Collingsworth Family. I had wanted to hear them for quite some time now, and was so thrilled that God worked out the details for us to go. It was pretty amazing, actually, that-
1) we had an "off day" the day of the concert
2) we were traveling right through Ocala
3) the Collingsworth Family was performing that night at a church in Ocala!

What are the chances? It was God all the way!

I have been to many concerts and heard many accomplished pianists perform, but as soon as she began to play, I knew that Kim Collingsworth was more than just another accomplished pianist. She played with such passion, such grace, such excellence....and every note she played just seemed to SHOUT the glory of God. It was so obvious that she was in God's presence, that she was playing for His glory. She wasn't playing for the audience.
She was playing for Jesus. 
And sadly, that isn't very common anymore.
I was blessed, encouraged, and inspired.
