Hey Friends!

Hello everyone!
I know Carnival promised to blog once a week but since our last post we've been doing so many things. It's been crazy on our end but all good nontheless. Since we last wrote, we had our listening party for the new album and it was a success! It was on April 11th at the church we attend which is Everlife Worship Center and we had about 50 of our closest friends in attendance and they got to check out everything. Yes, we gave them a chance to listen to our entire album and they were definitely feeling it! If you don't know the name of our new album is "Population of Invisible People" and it will hit stores July 28, 2009! The anticipation and excitement is definitely there and we cannot wait for everyone to hear it so you can tell us what you think and also this album has definitely been created to minister to the masses. God has downloaded some things into us that we have shared on this record and we know that you will be blessed by it. As we speak, Carnival is getting ready to travel down to Nashville, Tennessee for the GMA/Dove Award week and we are going to be ministering down there with some of the greatest acts in Christian Hip Hop! God is good and we are so blessed to even be in the position. God always has a way of bringing things together in his timing. We do commit to blogging throughout our trip so you can have a play by play of what goes on in the everyday life of Carnival! Well gotta run to finish packing but before we do , we would like to share a scripture with you....

Mark 4:35-41
That is the story of when the disciples were in the boat with Jesus and while he was asleep in the boat a great storm arose and started forcing water in the boat and when they realized this they woke Jesus up and was in a frenzy about him not caring that they were about to perish (I'm paraphrasing here so bear with me....read the scriputre in its entirety and continue on with this)

Why is that when Hardships come our way and threaten the foundation we're on we come back at God doubting him?
It is in those times when we're going through that we need to trust him the most but alot of times we end up doubting him and questioning his love and care for us. Carnival wants to encourage you today that if you find yourself going through a storm in your life, don't run from it. Don't even question God as to why you're going through it. Just trust God to bring you through it and rely on your faith to pull you through the adversity. As a group and individually we've neen through so many things that had us questioning God but God is so good just when we thought we were alone, God showed up and calmed the storm. Don't ever feel like you're out at sea by yourself and fighting the storm by yourself. God is there and he is able to calm the storm and whatever it is you're going through. Today we want you to rely on your faith, not fear because fear is not of God. Allow your faith to grow in through your storm. Be encouraged and feel free to share with us.


Until next time,
Carnival
