The Most Changing thing : Beautiful Things (singles event.)

I was at a singles social at a national youth convention, chatting with a new friend, when my sorry attempts to be charming were interrupted suddenly by music that was too loud for conversation. (I didn't mind, I was running out of small talk and I was about to get very shy lol.) There was a band from New Mexico, and they started playing a couple songs. The first song I don't remember, I was still trying to hold a conversation over the song, but the second song interrupted me...

The social itself was fun, stand up comedy, prizes (I won a pair of Dre beats earbuds!), and everyone was so dressed up! (except one girl in a power rangers shirt. which was cool, don't hate!) It was the last place I expected to hear anything that would matter to me, other than maybe "it was great meeting you, would you mind if I text you later?" (which, didn't happen lol.) but aside from that, as I was saying, it interrupted me. I don't mean my speaking (although that too), I mean it interrupted ME. The essence of my 'self', the thought pattern that is 'me', like a wave of rain interrupts the desert and makes it bloom. It drew all of my attention, and I think I was even staring slightly open mouthed in disbelief, not sure lol. Anyway, I had given up trying to speak over the first song, and I was just listening to the band when suddenly they start playing this song:




it turns out the song wasn't theirs, it belongs to Michael Gungor, named "beautiful things" and it's a few/couple years old. There are few times in life when you are absolutely certain that God is speaking to you and for me this was one of those times. Even after sin, even after being lost, or maybe running away...God makes beautiful things out of the dust, He makes beautiful things out of us.
