Hey Friends! Keep Going!!!

Hello everyone,
So if I remember correctly Carnival promised to post more frequently while we were out of town in Nashville but that didnt happen and we do apologize. Our schedule didnt exactly allow us to post what we would have liked to but we thought we would take some time out and catch up with you.
So first of all we would like to thank God for increasing our territory because from the time we arrived until the time we left we were busy which was truly a blessing. Okay so after we got there and checked into our rooms we basically had a day to ourselves which we spent with some good friends who live in Franklin, Tn.

The next couple of days were spent attending different showcases that were put together for GMA Week 2009 and they were great. We also got to see some of the greatest artists minister live and we got to network with more people in the industry. On April 21st we took part in "The Show" which showcased over 40 groups from all over the country. Everyone was given a time slot to go up and minister to everyone and God really blessed us during that time. We also got a chance to attend Tedashii's listening party @BB Kings for his new album "Identity Crisis" and it was phenomenal. It was jam packed with all kinds of people and other artists who were showing their support for Tedashii's sophmore album. And trust us, his new album is hot! There are quite a few joints on there that will be on repeat!




On Friday and Saturday we had two concerts in Springfield Tn, and Antioch Tn and overall we had a blast being on stage and ministering the word of God with our youth. By the time we left on Sunday, everyone was ready to go home and as we traveled back to Youngstown Ohio (which is where all 4 of us live) we experienced 3 Flat tires. Not 1 not 2 but....3 flat tires! Now if you're reading this you're probably thinking that having that many flat tires in one trip is unheard of but it happened to us. And even though that happened to us in the natural we always look at things in the spiritual sense, like why did that happen or what's the reason behind that happening?

And after we prayed and spent some time together God revealed it to us...in life there will be many flat tires, potholes, and detours that will try to stop you from reaching your God given destination but the Lord says....KEEP GOING! Those mishaps don't occur for you to stop and remain on the side of the road...they happen to PROPEL YOU FORWARD! If you're going through a rough situation righ now and everything you're facing is so overwhelming that you just want to quit...Carnival wants to encourage you today to HOLD ON AND KEEP IT MOVIN! No matter what it is, alot of times you're on the brink of your blessing and breakthrough but the key to receiving from the Lord is to continue on! If you're facing resistance, you're in the right place. Be encouraged, stay positive and know God has great things in store for you but you have to keep going!!!!

Scripture:
Hebrews 10:36
You need to perservere so when you have done the will of God you will receive what he has promised.

Stay in the will of God fam, and keep going! Do what God has called you to do regardless of what's going on around you. Get that tunnel vision and go after the things of God with PASSION!

Until next time,
Carnival
