? More Questions Than Answers ?

Many things on the horizon in my life seem uncertain right now. And it's not a good or bad thing. It's actually more exciting than anything. Especially since we have been "off" for so long from touring. 

About 2 months ago during "there came a tour" I just had this feeling one day. The feeling was that Jimmy and Chad might leave T&N.  I just got that sense that they were both getting tired of the business side of the label, specifically with being unable to help their bands in the way they truly desired. Whatever rationale I fastened to it is definitely not the point though. The point is now, two months down the road Jimmy is gone, and Chad has announced that he will be leaving T&N in the new year.  Both the dudes that attracted us to being a part of the family are gone...

Strangely enough, I'm not worried. I know the Lord is going to have his way with our band. He led us to T&N, and if wants to lead us somewhere new, He will. Maybe the new a&rs at the label will be just the spark of freshness and enthusiasm the label needs to become something greater than it ever has. A label that truly cares first for their bands and second about profit, that seeks the kingdom first, that sows more than it reaps, that revolutionizes people's lives. 

Anyway, I'm happy for both of them. Jimmy is now working with his church and quite happy from what I've been able to gather. And Chad, is stepping out. He's responding to God's call. That call just happens to be a new direction for his entire life! One that is focused on spreading the gospel, and not watered down religious gospel either, but THE GOOD NEWS that brings life in the fullest. I admire him so much as a man and I know he will be successful because God is leading him. I hope he is able to be a "pastor to bands." He's already been that for us in the past, and has brought healing and hope through prophecy and prayer. Thanks God for letting him be such an inspirational part of our lives and career.

I feel God is getting me (and the band) ready for something big. What it is...I have no idea.
