Filling The Void!

As some of you may know, I am the lead singer in the band, Filling the Void. I have decided to write about the band due to the struggles that we are having at this present time. Basically, we have a new CD that will coming out soon that I think we all are excited about. But, as I am sure happens with all other bands, we are not all on the same page as far as our goals are concerned. This last Tuesday, we, the band, were able to talk for about 2 hours discussing our goals and difficulties with the way things have gone thus far for us. It was interesting, helpful, healthy, and frustrating all at the same time. It was quite a turning point for us. Although we are not unified yet in our thinking, I am glad we finally talked about it because it is important to get everything out in the open and be honest about your feelings. The difficult part is we are not all unified when it comes to our direction and the music. These are opinions and feelings that are rooted in each of our experiences with music. They are not going to change overnight, for that matter, they may never change. So, without going into needless detail, we as a band will be doing more praying and discussing than practicing, at least till God gives us more clear direction in our purpose dealing with music. We haven't broken up or anything like that, we're just waiting patiently on God to see if He has a different plan for all of us and our purpose. We'll see what happens. Please keep us in your prayers that God would give us all clear direction about the band and our purpose. Also pray that no matter what happens, even if we never aggree, that nothing would come between us as brothers in Christ. I love my bandmates: Jordan, Kellen, and Ben for the people they are and regardless of what happens in the future, that will not change. Lastly, music means the world to me and I want everyone to know that as long as God continues to give me a desire and passion to play, I 'll never stop!! I encourage everyone to be honest with how you feel. Don't be persuaded without questioning all opinions. Peace my brothas!

Kellen could tell you some good stories about our near breakdowns and breakups while recording this past month. It was a little too intense, and it was just as much my fault as anyone else's. In fact it was pretty much me and Jimmy. But we still like each other. So if that is any small encouragement, take it. Though I'm not really worthy to give.
