Rookie Of The Year / Sooner Or Later (The Next Move)
carolina's rain splashes on my face
florida's sun is watching her every move
kentucky burnt up with the new year, that has to tell you something
I wasn't ready yet to make the next move
no matter what I hear I'll be right here waiting
no matter what you say I'll be on your side
don't ever give up here tonight
sooner or later I know we'll just be dreaming
anywhere you go, I'll still feel you
your necklace around my neck, I'm still wearing
it's all frayed now, but I tied a new knot
no matter what I hear I'll be right here waiting
no matter what you say I'll be on your side
don't ever give up here tonight
sooner or later I know we'll just be dreaming
anywhere you go, I'll still feel you
as I sit around right here, you sit around right there
anywhere you go
florida's sun is watching her every move
kentucky burnt up with the new year, that has to tell you something
I wasn't ready yet to make the next move
no matter what I hear I'll be right here waiting
no matter what you say I'll be on your side
don't ever give up here tonight
sooner or later I know we'll just be dreaming
anywhere you go, I'll still feel you
your necklace around my neck, I'm still wearing
it's all frayed now, but I tied a new knot
no matter what I hear I'll be right here waiting
no matter what you say I'll be on your side
don't ever give up here tonight
sooner or later I know we'll just be dreaming
anywhere you go, I'll still feel you
as I sit around right here, you sit around right there
anywhere you go
feel this way tonight

After a six hour drive, I'm convinced that it's a beautiful thing to be greeted by a family in a town that you have only been to a handful of times. Over the past year, we have had the privilege of meeting some unique families who constantly pour into this band and open their doors to us time after time. Tonight is just another example of the blessings that have been given to us through our time as a band.
We reached our destination (Chandler, AZ) around 11PM. We forgot that there was an hour time difference, so we were a bit confused upon arrival. The family we are staying with (The Marshall's) have opened up their house to us on numerous occasions while we have passed through this state in our journey as a band this past year. Every time has been a joy, and surely tonight, even though everyone just passed out and went to bed, is still bringing good memories to mind and I'm grateful for a roof over my head for the night.
Today was hard, though. Leaving people. Leaving home. Leaving comfort. But for some reason, there is a peace intertwined within any fears and excitement that today brought. It was good to say the least. I have no idea what the future holds for me and certain things that have been happening in my life, but every day is new, and every day is different, and I am beyond thankful for that. Why be discouraged? Why be negative? I have no reason to be. Yeah, negative things may come to mind, but I quickly have to turn my thoughts in the other direction and run from any attack that is attempting to shake up my faith in what the Lord is doing in my life. It's not easy. It's not enjoyable. But it's what I feel called to do. And I believe I will be able to look back on this certain chapter in my life and view it as a blessing... to see everything in perspective, and to know that I am loved.
We play in Scottsdale, AZ, tomorrow, which is about twenty minutes from where we are staying, so we should be getting plenty of rest to kick this part of the tour off in a positive way. After that, we move onward to Arkansas to spend some time with my family before the actual tour starts in Texas with The Red Airplanes (www.myspace.com/theredairplanes).
So here it goes. I miss home, but I'm ready. With much prayer and thought, the Lord has prepared this tour in exactly how HE wants it to be. Thank you, Lord.
Goodbye, Goodnight.
