During Brandon’s CD Release Party last night, I enjoyed:
- the worship — especially how Brandon ended our evening together. Powerful!
- laughter with friends of almost twenty years. The husband braved many a day on the b-ball courts mentoring Brandon as a teen.
- sitting next to my cousin, who’s always been more like a sister, and watching her hubby post B’s pics on Facebook. The fact they drove from Spartanburg meant even more.
- peering over to see the blossoming “friendship” between two young people. He’s been a tremendous friend to Brandon over the years and she’s the daughter to two special friends of ours.
- meeting the wife of an amazing young man, who lost both parents by the time he was in his early twenties.
- a sweet time of fellowship with my mom and her incredi-hubby, Steve, who could be the poster-child for step-parenting.
- observing a local FCA group worship — and chatting with one of their leaders, the daughter of a dear friend. She didn’t realize that Brandon was in fact “my” Brandon.
- hanging out with two great friends, who just happen to be Piper’s other grandparents. 🙂
As Brandon played my favorite song from his CD, Surrounded, I marveled at the relationships and connections represented in the room, very much aware of God’s abiding presence surrounding us as one—and grateful for every moment.
What a joy that must have been. I know you're so proud of your son and his ministry! Congratulations to all of you!
Thank you, Vonda. Proud, indeed. To God be the glory!
Sounds wonderful Cathy. I'm sure it blessed everyone who had the chance to attend.
Precious!! I love the warmth of a simple blessing. So excited for Brandon and wish him success with his cd and his ministry.
