Chris August

When I heard song 7X70 I felt like this is my life. For me it was my mom. She told me how she hate me and how she can´t looket my and not feel sick. I was 12 at that time. She had long list of things she blame me. Like I bornd in wrong time and even when I know it wasne´nt my fault it hurt. She loved my sister and brother. But for some reason I don´t know way she can´t love me. The good news is I love her so much! And it´s all thanks to God. God gaive me everithing I need to love her. She have´t told me she hate me like year or even tow and that´s someting. We get along and she know how much I love her and I´m allways ther when she need´s me. God gave me love and forgivness.
There was time when I felt like I hate her because she hate me. But it´s like the song:I thought the pain was here to stay
But forgiveness made a way
And it is easy to love her. Because that love comes from Lord. I have never regret forgiving her. Even when some my friends did´int understand me. I´m proud of her. She is my mom. And like it her or not nothing will ever change that :)
When I was 15 or 16 I ask God way me. She has tow more child way she can´t love me but love my sister and brother and I felt how God tell me: because you can take it. And that helped me. It was me because God made me strong enough so I can handel that hate but not hateing back. And I´m so thanful for God that it is me and not my brother who is my rock or my sister who is so dear form me.
Chris your song 7X70 recalls me how far my family has come. And how big and powerfull God is. I´m blessed and thank you Chris for make this song. I know it was not easy but God can speake through that song and helped someone else. That´s how you change the wold white God help :) God bless you and keep singing and keep writing songs.
Thank You!

Hey Chris! I just wanted to say that I was at winter jam last night in Bossier and it was amazing. God really spoke to me through your song 7x70, when you played it on the piano. So I pulled some money out of my pocket to put in the white bucket and I found my guitar pick. At that moment I was determined to get you to sign it. Well, that didn't happen last night. So I got home, went to sleep, woke up, went to the store, got back home, and played the piano. Then I noticed I had that song stuck in my head all morning so I listened to it a few times on the computer and then picked out the chords on my guitar and went back to the piano and stared improvising your song. But it was crazy. It was like I wasn't doing the playing, I was playing way beyond my usual ability (I've been taking lessons for about 4 months now). I felt like God was making the music and I was simply listening. Now, its my favorite song (and was since last night) and I know that playing music is how God wants me to share his love. Some day, whenever I go to another Chris August event, I'll get you to sign that guitar pick. Thanks

(You won my vote for the Dove Awards)

Congratulations on the nominations, but i think that I should also congratulate you for using your amazing talent for God. Your songs speak to my life and every time I hear them God speaks to my life in a different way. I am amazed at what my God can do and hearing your testimony is a proof of what He can do when we humble ourselves to him. I encourage you to keep on going on the road God has for you with the same humbling spirit because this is just the beginning of the amazing things God has for your life. As for me I will continue to glorify God in everything I do and praise Him with my voice. God bless you and may He continue to use you in greater proportions!!

I first heard your music back in Oct when you opend for the David Crowder Band in Greensboro NC. Other than Starry Night I had no clue who you were. That night something happened to me when you started playing. I literally was on the edge of my seat thru your performance. Your songs really speak to me and I'm sure others would say the same. You have a way of relating to people with your music. God is really using you to reach out to people.
In fact Christian music has totally changed me. I love that fact that you are son humble at your success. I totally enjoyed meeting you at Winter Jam. What you see is what you get! Thank you for all that you do!

So great to hear you are appreciative. It's a humbling experience I'm sure. I'm not an artist by any means, in fact, my singing is horrible, but it reaches people. It's reached me, and I am so thankful for that. Can't wait for the Dove Awards. I'll be rooting for you all the way even though Brandon Heath is running next to you as the male vocalist of the year. You guys both rock, and its gonna be a tough choice I'm sure.

Chris.... You are one Beautiful Man with One Beautiful Heart. Congratulations on your Confirmation from God, wrapped up in the gift of your recent Dove Nominations. We will be rooting for you, for you are a blessing in our lives and in our home. God Bless You.
