Well after a long week of late nights preparing for one of the most important shows for The Least of These, I'm amazed at the way God works! We played for a crowd of about 40 friends and family as well as one of the top A&R guys in the Christian music industry. It was a huge succes! If nothing else everyone had a great time and the show was awesome (in my own humble opinion). But that's not all. After the crowd had thinned a litte, the band sat down with Otto Price (the A&R guy from Word records) and discussed what's next. It's difficult to sum up our hour long conversation but I'll try anyway. Otto loved what he saw and would like us to continue to book shows, write music, and do what we do. At this point if we keep doing what we do, he can then do what he does, namely sign bands and help them achieve their goals and vision. He'll spend some time going over video of the night with his team in Nashville over the next week or so and then let us know their thoughts. Essentially the more we do on our own, the more he can do to help us. We could not be in a better place right now and all thanx be to God!!
All that said, our family could also not be in a better place, pursuing God with every aspect of our lives. After much though, discussion, frustration and prayer, Jess has decided to take a new position at Harvest Bible Chapel in Elgin. This has been far from easy but has brought our family to a place of complete reliance on God and his promises for us. Between that and the Band, we've not had any shortage of of uncertainty, but God is faithful, it's us that need to be faithful in return and simply trust.
