So, I’m headed to Omaha this weekend where our daughter, Charity Long, is doing a debut concert for her new EP, Love More Perfect. How many words in that sentence are the things dreams are made of? Charity has been singing as long as we can remember, of course. When she was four, she used to stand in a little tree in our front yard and sing original works.
She sang in school productions and traveling youth groups. She sang in church services and a festival now and then. She auditioned for American Idol, and she once sang before thousands of people with Danilo Montero in Equador.
But this. This is different.
This weekend is Charity and her husband, Ryan, taking a step of faith. They have rented a stage (an entire park, in fact) in the middle of their city. They’ve booked a band and cut the EP’s. And Friday night they will stand up together in Omaha and sing.
Who knows what God will do with that?
Who knows what He will do with any of us who take a step of faith and put ourselves out there for the world to see. I know this: it is easier to stay in the tree.
And, I’m glad she didn’t.
I just wrote about this too! I’m so sad I won’t be at the concert. Something has gone awry in the scheme of things. I hope to hear all about it and see pictures and maybe even a soundbite or two? I wonder how we go about getting her on the radio so I can run down the street screaming.
Oh, yes. Running down the street must be done.
I would love to see this. I think there should definitely be video footage for those of us unable to make it…and a link on her page so we can find it. I’m just saying. 🙂
Brilliant idea. I wonder how we go about that since her film-making husband will be in the band…
Love her work!
This comment is meant to be deleted.
All of this is so very cool.
You have no idea how badly I want back in the tree tonight. 🙂 WHAT was I thinking?!?
I just listened to Love More Perfect and literally got goosebumps. Oh to have a live video feed in that park, I would stay riveted I am quite certain. So.awesome.
