Folks I have to tell you...
After all that I have been through from being told in college that If I didn't stop playing football I would not be able to walk by age 30... after that I lost 20 lbs in a week to depression... and taking 1200 mg of meds a day to bring down the inflammation so that my nerve impulses could get through. To seeing my wife temporarly paralized 2 days after Christmas a month after getting married at age 25... to loosing all my possessions... to having to enduring separation and missing the first 2.5 daily years of my in order to make a better life for my family.... God and my wife have been there and stood strong. The great thing is god allowed me to grow wiser.
My wife has not had a major episode since that first one 8 years ago. She had a flawless pregnancy with no morning sickness and no epidural. God has put the right connections into play and all that was lost is returning all the more. He is rewarding our diligence and showing us His excellent favor and grace.
So men, make the decisions that you must make and own them, because one day you will have to answer for them. Don't do the bare minimum in anything that you do. Don't anything without purpose... because there is a purpose for everything we just have to seek understanding of it. Without wise counsel purposes go unfulfilled. However, stand on firm ground for your family and with your family especially your wife. God wants completion for us and we have to be diligent and complete in our married lives in order for the other stuff to count.
Man up in your natural business affairs. God gave us the power (gifts, talents and wisdom resources) to get wealth. Seek, Ask, Knock... boldly and prepared but humble enough to serve and be teachable. Understand His vision, receive your vision write it down and walk it out not turning to the right or left (as I have ignorantly and fearfully done so many times). Connect with like visions and prove and improve your commitment. And when times come that you cannot see... move to a better vantage point on the course. The music business is a business.
