Hey Guys! The Hope Tour Rehearsal...what an experience! Wednesday and Thursday of last week Fireflight worked extremely hard from 4 P.M. to 11 P.M. rehearsing for the Hope Tour! The rehearsal was held in Nashville at a place called Soundcheck...a studio designed specifically for rehearsals and where the majority of mainstream artists also do their rehearsals! The studio rocks...memorabilia from some of the greats was everywhere! I was like a kid in a candy store! Fireflight practiced one of their new songs...scheduled to be played on tour! I love it...can't wait to see how the peeps respond to it! The cut is titled "Desperate" and has a very cool "sassy" attitude! Now...let me tell you about one of the coolest parts of Fireflight...they answer all of their Myspace and E-mail messages...mostly from youth and 5-10 a week whom are seeking spiritual advice/counsel. They have been talking with one youth for over a year now and we spent some time last week trying to discern what we can do to "be Jesus" to that young person! I'm so excited to be a part of that aspect of the ministry...as well as...The Hope Tour kicks off in Arkansas this Friday and includes 25 shows in the month of October! :)) We will have a member of Dawson McAllister's Ministry on board our BIG BUS, yeah it's still BIG but I'm definitely getting use to it now, traveling on the tour with us! They will be dealing with youth at the shows who are requesting help/hope! I have been informed that it is very possible that I may also be called upon to assist! Please pray for our Myspace/E-mail ministry as well as each show and the ministry of each bands music and poetry! You can check out Dawson McAllister's Ministry at: www.dmlive.com We left Nashville Friday for Du Quoin, IL...a show scheduled for Saturday with Pillar, KJ-52, and 7 other bands! Saturday was a long day waiting to go on right before Pillar, with a 1 1/2 hour rain delay...but Fireflight blew it up...they are on such a sweet roll! Before we did anything else Sunday morning, I led us in an hour devotion which focused on our view of God! A.W. Tozer says, "It is impossible to keep our moral practices sound and our inward attitudes right while our idea of God is erroneous and inadequate. If we would bring back spiritual power to our lives, we must begin to think of God more nearly as He is. ...What comes to mind when we think of God is the most important thing about us." It was a very powerful time together...as we continue to get to know each other better! Can you imagine what they are thinking now that they've experienced Williams for over a week! lol-hhf We traveled back to Nashville Sunday afternoon...the weather and day was so beautiful! Back in Nashville I experienced yet another "Walmart parking lot adventure"...oh yeah! I slept well...the bus bunks are really very comfortable...seriously! We awoke to an absolutely beautiful day in Nashville! It is so good to choose to see and experience "the beautiful" God has gifted us with! He is not only the lover of our souls, but a giver of great and mighty gifts! :)) My love to all and thanks to those of you who continue to pray for me! Consume His love! Williams out!
