Switchfoot Anticipation

alright. you ready for a CRAAAZYYY story?
Two Wednesdays ago me and my friend Alex were piling up the Bibles that people borrow if they didn't bring one. There were two Bibles in the sound booth. I didn't know if they were ours or if it actually belonged to someone. Alex suggested I see if their is a name in it. I open it and it says Presented to Jonathan Mark Foreman By Mom and Dad on October 22, 1996, Twentieth Birthday. I laughed and said that its the lead singer of Switchfoots name and we joked around saying what if its actually his? (But not taking it too seriously) I go home and I look up his birthday.... October 22, 1976. I, of course, flip out. The next Sunday at church I tell everyone and everybody freaks out with me and wants to see it and stuff. "Dude! We have Jon Foremans Bible!" Was the common phrase. Then Wednesday(the 17th) rolls around. Jono (my youth pastor) was telling us some announcements, then he gets around to saying something along the lines of, "heyyy we had something interesting happen. Who knows the band Switchfoot?(insert applause and woooooos) Well we had someone find the lead singer, Jon Foremans, Bible last week. Carrie(one of our leaders) knows someone who is in the Christian Productions and he knows someone who knows Jon Foreman. They contacted him and asked if he wanted it back. He said yes and he wants the person that found it to hand deliver it back to him! She gets free tickets to the Switchfoot concert in two Fridays and backstage passes to meet Jon Foreman." At this point I'm frozen in my seat thinking He CAN'T be serious... waiiit THATS MEEE! All my friends and everyone who knew were staring at me. and Jono says "Cece!!" and I get up in complete shock and walk up to the front (dragging Alex with me) where Jono was and just kind of stand there flabbergasted and say "Are you seeriouss??" and Jonos like "I'm dead serious."

I'M MEETING JON FOREMAN!! ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!


Now its the 23rd of September and I am so stoked! I still don't believe it. It totally sounded like something Jono would make up(one of his wise tales). As he kept describing the situation further and I was waiting for the "no, I'm just kidding." It never came.

I feel like I'm daydreaming when I think about what I am going to do in a couple nights.
I keep reminding myself to give it all to the Lord. This is such a sweet sweet gift.


I love you, Lord.
I love you, Switchfoot.


Love Sincerely,
Cecelia "Itch-foot" Melody
