I thought maybe the title would catch your attention... I doubt anyone reads these, but that's okay!! I can use this as my little rant to God :)! Well, it's now still the first full week of June; I'm still in classes at UNI and Katie is hard at work back home and preparing herself to head to Rwanda on the 15th of July.
God has been working so much in my life I can't even begin to explain it. Last month wasn't a very good month but now I'm getting a fire that I can't even explain! I have begun to read Ecclesiastes which when you first read through it it seems like someone is depressed about life, but when you really get into it you see that it contains so many life lessons that we all need to learn, even non-Christians! Each day I see "you must go through the valley to stand upon the mountain of God" reigning true in my life.
Recent updates in case someone really is reading this :)
1) Our whole month of June is pretty much booked up! If you live close to where we're playing at please stop and say hi!! We would love to see you! Check out our concert dates on this site.
2) We have 9, yes I said 9, songs written for our next CD!!!!! Here's your job... If you know of anyone (including yourself) who plays bass, electric guitar, drums/djembe and/or piano let us know! We are looking to get a full band at least on the CD if not to come tour with us after the second CD is released. We plan on recording next fall starting promptly in September so hopefully everything will work out. We currently do have people that are a really big possibility for bass (Tim Worthington) and electric guitar (Justin Hines) but since they do live far away it might not work out (although we are totally praying that it does). Drums and piano are the major ones we are looking for but as the saying goes "you can't go wrong with more than you need..." Okay so I made that up, but in this case it does work because we can use all the help we can get for new ideas and possibly full-time band members :).
3) Always gotta have three updates :). We got our first concert in our Fall tour. October 14th we will be playing a concert in Cedar Rapids, IA at a church. We will do special music in the morning for worship and then play an evening/night concert. More details coming soon!
Well, that's all I have folks! Thank you all so much again for your prayers! We ask that you continue to pray for Katie as she is preparing her heart to go to Rwanda. Also pray for those who are travelling with her. Pray for me as I continue to finish classes and finally finish my solo album (fingers crossed) and that God will use me in the classes that I am in and that I keep the fire that is buring deep within my soul. If there are any prayers, the Holy Spirit has already said them for me because my mind is now elsewhere, deep in thought :)! Thank you again so much!
In Him,
Mitchell Hines & Katherine E. Kula
