once upon a saturday, i met my soul mate.

Once upon a time there was a girl named Anna who was in love with a voice.  Though she had heard it on the radio and had been sung to sleep by it on her iPod, she hadn't realized how amazing the guy behind the voice was.  Until Saturday.

Well, that 'amazing guy behind the voice' is Brandon Heath.  Now I could go on and on about how nice, cute, and talented he is.  But that's not why I love him.. not really.  No, I love Brandon because he seriously wants God's eyes.  He wants to see beyond the superficial stuff.  He wants to see the people inside.  He wants to share the grace that he was given.  That's why I love Brandon.

He sang all of his radio hits -- I'm Not Who I Was, Give Me Your Eyes, Wait and See, Love Never Fails, Your Love, and The Light In Me -- + more, all perfectly.

Ya know how concerts can be a total let down sometimes?  How the artist sounds one way on the CD you've obsessed over forever, and then you see them live and they...well...aren't so great?  Brandon wasn't anything like that -- he sounds exactly like he does on K-Love.  On my CDs.  I mean, a recording can't do this guy justice!

And like I said, he wants God's eyes.  I got to meet him afterward, and he was so... genuine.  There was an way-out-the-door-line of people waiting to meet him, and he was still trying to get to know everyone. When I had him sign my poster he was like, "Hey, nice to meet you.  What's your name?"  How awesome is that?  The poor guy has fans everywhere and at least two hours worth of signatures and photos, and he still took the time to write 'Anna' on my poster.  Not sure why, but that really stood out to me.

He likes country music and wears converse.  And He loves God.  So yeah.  We're soul mates.  The musical kind
