The crowd is getting bigger each minute. Impatiently we stand in line to get into the auditorium where she will be signing. Ever since I heard her sing, I found her as my favorite artist. Her music changed a lot of lives, mine included. Not only she has an amazing voice but she also writes lyrics that touch your heart and change your life.

When the doors finally opened to let us in, I got a fluttery feeling in my chest from excitement. My friends and I ran straight to the first row of seats trying not to run into anyone. When we got to our seats we had to wait for 5 long minutes until it began. Everyone in the auditorium was waiting impatiently. During the 5 minutes I was talking to my friends sister Kristina who drove us to the concert. She always inspires and encourages me to do the things that I enjoy in life despite people's opinions. I was glad that she came to the concert.

When the concert started, the room filled with cheers. We ran closer to the stage as she began singing her first song “Amazing Life”. In this song she sings about how truly, amazing, life is. Even through the problems and heartbreaks that we deal with we can still enjoy the colorful and beautiful world that we live in.

After the concert was over, we got to meet her and get an autograph on the posters we bought. Our hearts were exploding with joy. Our souls were on fire. Even on the way home we couldn't stop singing. We couldn't stop the fire that was burning inside.

Now, before i go any further, you need to understand something about me. I don't believe in luck. I don't believe in coincidence. I don't believe in living your life just for yourself. Instead, I believe in blessing. I believe in a plan. I believe in God.

Have you ever asked yourself, what is the purpose of life? What happens when you die? What if you died and never found out the answer? Never found out there is more to life? Never found out the meaning of life? Do you want to live your whole life not knowing? I never truly thought about that, until then.

Kristina is driving the van with six girls in the back. The music is blasting through the speakers. We are singing at the top of our lungs. As we try to cross the intersection on the green light, we don't even get to the middle when my side vision is filled with very bright light. Nobody knew what was going on but at the same time we all felt it. The fear building inside.

You know that moment when
