Influencers

This world is full of influencers. Everyone has influence on those around them. It is easy to talk about all the negative influences and influencers in life today. Yes- yes- yes, it is all over. I know it and you know it. However last night I was truly blessed by some positive influencers. 17 of us went to see Barlowgirl in concert last night. It was not your typical "rock" concert. These 3 women of God, shared testimonies from their lives, about how they had overcome eating disorders, and physical illness by the power of God and preached the word. If you can't tell by the name, this group is really focused towards young ladies. As hundreds of them looked towards the stage, and heard how God had brought them through these tough situations I felt that God was doing some amazing things in the lives of many there that night! As so many girls looked to the stage at their hero's, they were delivered from addictions, and bondage of all kinds. Not because of the band but by Jesus Christ. It was overwhelming to take in what was happening spiritually! They did not end in a huge grand finally, we worshiped with our eyes closed. you could just hear the crowd singing, and as many opened their eyes the band was gone. it wasn't about them and the glory was all Gods. I am thankful for people who influence us and set examples like I saw last night. Today is going to be a great day!
