If anyone knows me, they know that I love Sara Groves. She was the first Christian artist that I was introduced to when I was about 15 years old, by my dad. Her music has ministered to me in so many ways and in every season of my life. She has such a presence in our home as both Joshua and I love to play her music through the house on a regular basis. It truly moves us to worship God as her lyrics are strong, biblical, and personal.
We got the opportunity to host a concert here at Placerita Baptist Church (the church that we are members of…and LOVE) and to host a dinner for her in our back yard! It was such a treat to invite her to our home (she loved our little cottage!) and to hear personal stories from her. She is such a genuine lover of people and has such a kind disposition. You can tell that she loves the Lord through the lyrics of her songs, but it is even more obvious in personal conversation!
We had some amazing help in putting this event on and we could not have done it without Jenny Lotz, Cindy Mudd, and Amber Dennis. I know that they don't want credit or glory, but I just can't stress what an encouragement and help they were to us. It was such a blessing to bless Sara with them and bring God glory for His provision in it all! Thanks, friends!
Some of the beautiful flower arrangements for the dinner!
I think this was Joshua trying to capture the awesomeness of Sara Groves sitting next to his wife in his backyard! ;)
Sweet Kelly (Jenny's daughter) and Sweet Ruby (Sara's daughter)!
This was taken at the very end of the night. With all the fun and festivities, I almost forgot to get her autograph!
So grateful for this sweet night hearing one of the greatest artists of all time :)
