In my life I have been through the fire. It seemed as though - TopicsExpress

In my life I have been through the fire. It seemed as though adversity had become my constant companion. These 2 pics show both sides of my recent festival experience: What I experienced on stage & what I saw when I looked out at the audience. Intense doesnt even come close. When I arrived I was told that over 6,000 tickets had already been pre-sold. Needless to say I was a bit shaken (as I had been in the week leading up to this). I started this new part of my journey such a short time ago and to headline a festival with so many people so quickly in my career was a bit nerve-racking to say the least. But even as I doubted whether or not I was ready to pull this off, the confidence that others standing beside me had in me gave me strength. The love of my family gave me strength. My faith in God gave me strength. Everything from rain earlier in the day, to schedule changes, to technical difficulties & waiting periods tried to get the better of me and steal my confidence. It tried to take my joy but I stayed focused. Next thing I knew there were pre-recorded voice intros & sound effects going off, there were aerialist flying over my head, there were pyrotechnics, bursts of fire in front of me & fire raining down from above, dancers dancing all around me, amazing videos effects on a giant circular screen, video cameras in my face, and thousands screaming! And I was in the center of all of it. All eyes were on me. My heart was pounding in my chest and I was exhilarated. In that moment I saw the culmination of all my hard work & all my steadfastness. In that moment I was extremely humbled by the gifts & love that God had bestowed upon me. In that moment I realized how undeserving I was. And in that moment I realized that the lovers will love and the haters will hate. Those that care for me will uplift me & those that dont will continue to try and bring me down. But when all is said and done, when we stand our ground, lean on our loved ones, and lean on God, that goals are obtainable & dreams can be achieved. In that moment I realized that we are all miracles...THAT I AM A MIRACLE.
