Nashville & Faith

As some of you may know my band mates and I (Await The Day) took a little trip to Nashville this weekend. We were invited by a group we've been working with called Indie Extreme to play in an independent artist showcase during the week of the GMA's (That would be the Gospel Music Association). What a great experience for us. We really had no idea what we were signing up for and getting ourselves into. It was a blast and we learned so much.

You know this whole thing has been about faith. We got together to play some music for a men's retreat a couple of years ago. We enjoyed each other's company and prayer time, and Ben started doing some writing. Then we got asked to play here and there... and people started asking us if we were going to do some recording. I happened to meet a guy hanging out at a coffee shop, who just by "chance" was building a recording studio. He happened to be in a band that works with Indie Extreme...you get the picture.

I don't believe for a moment that all of this happened by chance. I believe God put us in this position and he has a plan for us (check out Jeremiah 29:11). Now that plan might not be what we have in mind but His plan is always better than ours! He loves us so much, all we have to do is trust and put our faith in Him and then give up our rights to the controls.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. " Romans 8:28.
