On September 15, 2011, I attended my first Courage Concert at Adventure Christian Church. However, unlike many first time concert-goers, I had also been volunteering to help coordinate this event. We had worked hard for many months, expected the evening to be great, and were hoping for many people to be moved. I did not, on the other hand, realize how God was going to move me.
During the concert, God’s presence seeped into every inch of the venue. I couldn’t help but feel full. God deeply touched my heart through the worship and I had a revelatory defining of myself. I now know what it is like to worship through work.
It was amazing to be surrounded by so many God-gifted people who were all together for the same reason, spreading the same message. I felt lucky, not necessarily understanding why God had chosen me to play a part in this organization. It’s like I was given a gift to be able to live my life for a greater purpose and to touch the lives of others who are in desperate need. I am so fortunate to be able to give my time to an organization like Courage to Be You and to help plan and attend concerts like these that will do nothing but good for a greater cause.
