So this past Sunday a Christian Rapper (who is also a pastor) named Curtis Allen aka Voice came to URC, to share his testimony and rap. This was not my first time hearing christian rap live (Ambassador, Trip Lee and Lecrae anyone?) Two things stood out during the whole night.
First, Curtis shared his testimony with us (way to generalized it would be living for the streets-realizing the lies, growing in Christ as a redeemed sinner first as his identity). While I was sitting listening to a man sharing his heart with us, a man whose God is mine God, I was amazed at something that I think about far less than I should. I was amazed at God's grace and mercy on the life of Curtis. And also was amazed to think that the same grace and mercy is not just perfectly displayed in Curtis' life, but in ALL people who are covered in Christ blood, everywhere, myself included.
Second, I observed something Sunday night after the service in three parts. A lady (a mom friend of mine) waiting in line to talk to Curtis with her foster son, later I saw he was praying with her and the boy (I remember at this point thinking I would love to know what Curtis was praying) and then I pass the lady on her way back to the rest of her family, she was crying (Now I really wanted to know). God granted me in a way I least expected, yesterday I read a post by Curtis Allen noting the moment here.
