Travis Cottrell in concert
Sophie - January 6, 2009
Over the last five or six years worship music has become a big - no, make that huge - part of my life. Back in 2002 (-ish) my husband started looking up some of the songs we sang at church, and eventually we noticed that worship music was taking up more and more space on our iPods. There is something about Truth set to music that moves me way down deep in my soul, and now, on the occasional day when I don't have the chance to crank up my music in the car, I can feel the difference in my heart.
So.
All that to say.
You can imagine my delight when I found out that Travis Cottrell is recording a live worship CD on January 25th in Atlanta. God has blessed Travis with incredible musical talent, and He's also given him the unique ability to lead worship and somehow get completely out of the way at the same time. There's not a single ounce of pretense with Travis, and his humility in worship has ministered to me at more LifeWay events than I can count. He is the real dadgum deal.
If you're within driving distance of Atlanta and want to spend a Sunday night in some straight-up, flat-out worship, you should absolutely drive over to First Baptist Woodstock and hear Travis and his praise team live. The super-talented Cindy Morgan and Shaun Groves will be there, too - not to mention a girl named Beth Moore. You may have heard of her.

My husband and I have had this date on our calendar for months - we absolutely cannot wait, and we would love to see you there!

I completely agree with “Truth set to music”. I love it when I have been singing a bible verse as part of a song and don’t even know its scripture until the Lord shows me in some glorious way! I also agree about Travis and his team….WOW. I am praying about making it to FBCW. Its a little over a 4 hour drive for me, so we’ll see what happens. I am sure it will be awesome!

That’s my home church, and it’s only 2 miles from my house… you better believe I’ll be there! (I’ll be the one with the new 10 pounds in my back pockets, courtesy of the chocolate gravy recipe — maybe I can praise it off that night!) :)

I soooooo want to go! Since I live in Virginia Beach, it’s a bit of a drive but I’m praying God will make a way for me. Travis’s music has done so much to bring a spirit of worship to my daily life. I think he is the BEST and want so badly to be there. I’ll be praying for Travis and the team, and that Beth girl too. ;o)

Vonda - That CRACKS ME UP. If I don’t grab hold of the reins, I’m going to be packing an extra ten in my back pockets, too. :-) See you there!
