Amazing

Tonight my band played an amazing show. There wasn't really a huge turn out nor did we get paid all that much. It was just the vibe of the night. It felt great. All the bands that played did fantastic, ourselves included. I don't usually talk myself up but man did we play well. I got to see one of my favorite bands, whom I can also call my friends, Indian Summer (formally Farewell Flight). Before they played their last song, Luke talked to everyone in the audience about how real it was being in a band. It was very touching and inspiring. Made me realize there's not much I'd rather do with my life than play music.

I haven't felt like this in a while. It's a feeling of great accomplishment. Happiness. Lately I've just been concentrating on the negative, and it's really brought me down. But tonight really made me think about things. It really made me think about patience and how "worth it" it is just to wait. And it's definitely worth it. Tonight also reminded me that God has a plan for me and I believe tonight was a nudge in the right direction. Why else would I have this incredible feeling?

It's like God set everything up perfectly, as He always does. And I really thank Him for putting all these people and situations in my life. Even though times can seem bleak, they always work out in the end. And in that moment I think about what truly matters, even though I tend to lose sight, especially as of late. But I can see how everything fits together, and I look back and ask myself why I worry so much.

I can tell this is going somewhere, my band that is. And it doesn't have to be huge, I just want a living. I want to make music that people love. That's it. It just feels soo right.

Either way.

Tonight was amazing. Hopefully there will be more nights like this soon.
