A Drummer's Passion...

So in December, my uncle blessed Micaiah with a backstage pass to a Third Day show.  Micaiah was so excited to watch the concert from a different vantage point. 


He had no idea that he would actually meet the band and talk with their drummer, David Carr.  

 There are many times in life when we are given the opportunity to speak words of life into someone.  David Carr took the time that evening to talk with Micaiah.  He asked him some questions and then encouraged him to keep playing the drums because "the world has enough guitar players." 

 As if his words weren't enough, at the end of the show he signed the sticks he played with during the concert and gave them to Micaiah.  As you may imagine, Micaiah was thrilled and David's words fueled his passion for the drums in a new and exciting way.

Since that evening in late December, "band" at our house consists of Third Day's "Miracle" album on repeat while the boys, led by Micaiah on the drums, all play their instruments and sing.  

Here is a recent video of Micaiah playing "Hit Me Like a Bomb"...


Thank you David Carr...for taking the time to encourage Micaiah and speak words of life into his soul!

"Gracious words are a honeycomb,
    sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."
Proverbs 16:24

Incredible! You can see that boy's whole body sings to the rhythm. He's blessed to have received you two as parents who have nourished his gifts. And you are blessed to have been given him as he is such a gift! Love you all!

Patti...I still remember thinking his passion for the drums wouldn't last when he was about 4 and Wes wanted to buy him a real drum set!
