A Valentines Day Nostalgia!!!

As part of our Valentines Day Fernan decided to buy tickets to the symphony. I have never been to the symphony nor had he, so we were really looking forward to this. Last night we went to the symphony for the first time. Now I was not too sure what to expect, but I have a great deal of love for music and figured it would be something I would really enjoy. Can I just say that I... LOVE IT!! This is so different from listening to classical music, I love how you can feel the emotion in the music and how you can imagine what you want from it. How you can feel the sadness, the excitement, the love etc. in it. I loved watching the musician with there instruments, the conductor, and the mezzo soprano as she sang periodically. I have also wanted to watch an opera and after going to the symphony, it has only made me long to go to an opera even more. The great thing about last nights show was that all the proceeds will be donated to the Walenstein Musical Organization in an effort to rebuild the New Victorian School and music conservatory in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The school was destroyed when the earthquake shook Haiti. http://www.thenewvictorianschool.org/.

The i-Heart Revolution

Where do I begin? It seems that every time I have witnessed or experienced something of substance I never know where to being. I love Hillsong United... not for the music or the band that they are, but for the message they are trying to communicate to the world. Tonight the i-heart film premiered in select theaters, and I hope that they (Hillsong) decide to have a second screening of this film, but obviously that is up to there discretion. This film has been four years in the making, and I believe was created to inspire people to make a difference in this world. We do not realize the power that we have! As I watched this film Annie Garratt is talking about all the poverty she has encountered visiting different parts of the world and she asks herself "Why is this not my life?" I think to myself really why are we so blessed and others aren't? I think we take for granted that we live in the western civilization that we forget about the rest of the world. We live in a civilization that is selfish, and we lack the ONE thing. LOVE!!!!

Hillsong Conference 2009 - Encounter

This weekend several friends and I attended the Hillsong Encounter Conference 2009 at the University of Miami. I don't even know where to begin in describing the past two days!!! I pray that those who attended were truly blessed, I know I was!!! This was not a concert, but if it was it was the best one I have ever been to. I have never seen or encountered so many people worshiping God in my life! I pray that God do great things in this city that we live in, and open our eyes to things unseen and to hurting world that needs us!
