(FLAT IN INDIANAPOLIS)

Redemption's portion of last night's concert felt a little flat to me, not musically speaking since I'm sure we were on key, but something about it felt slightly off. As usual, we prayed before the concert. And the audience responded positively. If they noticed anything amiss, they sure didn't show it.

Allie gave a brief testimony afterward, sharing about how she once believed that Wicca was the answer for her, but she was only disappointed by it in the end, and the crowd appeared to be genuinely moved. But the concert, or our part in it, still felt less than great to me.

Jeremy spied me looking a little glum after we finished signing CDs and asked what was wrong.

“I don't know.” I shook my head. “But I just don't think we were very good tonight.”

“We as in everyone?”

“No,” I assured him. “I mean we as in Redemption. I don't think we played as well as we should.”

“You girls sounded great.”

But I think he was just trying to be nice. I think we sounded blah, dull, flat. In my mind, something was definitely missing. I just couldn't put my finger on what.

“Sometimes it's hard to get back into the groove after being home for a few days,” he told me as we gathered our stuff backstage.

“It didn't sound like you guys were having any problem,” I said.

Michael laughed. “Hey, it didn't sound like you girls were having any problem either. Don't be so tough on yourself, Chloe.”

Jeremy patted me on the back. “It's okay. I know exactly how you feel. These guys are always telling me that I'm our worst critic.”

“You and Chloe,” added Allie. “She's always harping at us to try harder, play better. Sometimes I think she should carry a whip.”

Jeremy grinned. “It's just the way we're wired. Right, Chloe?”

I nodded. “Yeah, blame it on God.”

And I didn't mean that in a bad way. I only meant that God really has made us all differently. And that's cool. It'd be pretty boring if we were all alike. And I'm sure our music would sound awful.

BLAKE IT ON GOD

none of us are the same

guess it's God who gets the blame

creatively, He made each one

no two alike beneath the sun

all our gifts are different

each of them is heaven sent

and yet He fits us all together

so we'll glorify Him forever
