It's always darkest before the light!

Have you ever noticed how just before you're about to experience your biggest breakthrough, you go through your biggest challenges? This past week, the band has been challenged by death, health issues, finances, personal demons, and other things that I just don't want to talk about. While all of this was going on, some of our biggest opportunities have opened their doors to us. So many times you may just feel like "enough is enough", and you begin to question whether or not your dreams are worth all of the effort, disappointment, and sacrifice. We haven't made it yet, but it's definitely been worth it! Stay focused, your blessing is just around the corner.
