Something special happened this weekend at the for KING & COUNTRY concert… Did you catch it? About 30 minutes into the show, Joel & Luke ran around the perimeter of the audience with a spotlight on them as they high-fived audience members. I happened to be at the sound booth watching (total God placement to watch what happened next!). I saw a young girl get a high five from Luke, and at first they sorta missed, so he turned around to high five her again and make it a good one! Angie has video of it! I watched her reaction, as she turned to her mom, beaming, and they both squealed as they looked at each other, then she looked back at her hand in amazement! Then back at her mom! Then threw both arms in the air and screamed with joy. I was so delighted to watch her reaction that I had to go talk to her.
I walked over, introduced myself, and learned the young girl’s name is Jade, and her mom is Taya. Jade told me she was adopted three days ago and these tickets were given to her as a celebration gift! I looked at her mom and said “You?!” and her mom smiled and her eyes welled up with tears. Jade continued “I was in foster care for a lot of years, and it was hard and lonely. This is the family I’ve been waiting for.”
You guys, the tour is called “What Are We Waiting For?” God doesn’t miss a detail. I’m nearly in tears typing this, as I feel the Holy Spirit highlighted that high-five and told me “there’s more to the story.”
I brought a For King & Co jacket with me that night that I’ve had for awhile, and asked God for a person to give it to.
Jade now wears it proudly.
