~VERSE FOR THE DAY

 
 
 
"[She] didn't tiptoe around God's promise asking cautiously skeptical questions. [She] plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God, sure that God would make good on what he had said."

~RALE...FOR REAL?


 
 
 
This past August (I know, I know, this post is shamefully late), I was doing a word puzzle, and I decided to look up the word "rale" online because I thought it might be one of the answers to the puzzle, but I wanted to double-check.  I quickly typed it into my browser search bar and pressed enter, but before I could blink I realized I had been taken to a website I had visited fairly recently: Raleigh First Assembly.  Because the letters in "rale" are the same as the first four letters of this local church's name, and because the church's url was in my browsing history, there I was on its website homepage.  And guess what caught my eye after I landed there?  I saw that Kari Jobe was coming to perform at the church in just a few weeks!  I was able to snatch up a ticket right away, which was opportune because they sold out very quickly.
 
How iiinteresting that I happened to look up that particular word on that particular day--I was so very pleased that I got to see one of my favorite Christian recording artists perform live ☺.
 
Kari had been sick with respiratory/throat ailments for a while leading up to the performance, so her voice probably wasn't in tip-tip-top shape, but if it wasn't I couldn't tell, because it sounded soothing and beautiful. 
 
 Below is one of the songs she sang at the concert, and it is bee-yoo-tee-ful...
