It's on! Watershed has had many opportunities to sing all over the U.S. In 2007, we are going international! This spring, we are venturing into the icy tundra of Ontario, Canada and this summer (July) we are raising money to go minister to the believers and unbelievers in South Africa!!! I'm very excited to see what God is doing with us!
If you are interested in helping us get there by prayer or by finanical support, please let us know! We'd love for you to be a part of this adventure with us. All those who are involved will get a copy of our limited edition "Pray For Africa" EP. It will have some live tracks of Watershed leading worship as well as a remix of the ever-popular Jambulani (which, BTW, is an americanized typo we found out, the original version is called Jabulani!).
On the Watershed front, things are exciting right! We're hard at work on a new worship album as well as sheet music for churches who want to use these songs in their worship gatherings. We also just released our first ever volume of graphics for powerpoint/MediaShout/Easy Worship, etc. called ESTATIC V.1. It's 215 pictures and 5 AVI loops that Vicki, myself, Heath Hollensbe, and Stephen Proctor took over the last couple of years. We've been using these graphics in our worship times and shows, and the demand for them pushed us to creating this product. I pray that God does some awesome things with ESTATIC and blesses people with these who are a little more right-brained like me!!
But enough about that stuff, I'm sure many people are wondering about one thing . . . . the baby! Well, I'm getting used to taking the back seat to Genesis. And rightly so, she is beautiful. She has such a fun personality! She isn't scared of anyone and is such a social girl already! (I'M DOOMED when we get to Jr. high . . .)
We have traveled with her a lot in these first 4 months of her life, and, to my relief, she is great on the road. You see, I have always had this fear of being THAT ONE family on the plane with THAT ONE baby who cries and cries and cries . . . . and then cries some more. The stories of the flight with Jeffery from Bill Cosby lore flash before my eyes every time I step foot onto the ramp down to the plane. And every time she has surprised me. She has gotten only slightly fussy, nothing that a slightly warmed bottle of formula can't fix. And for being 4 months old, she has flown to Florida once and Nashville twice already. Genesis already has 9 states under her belt!
Yes, we are adjusting to parenting life fairly well. We have bumps and turns in the road, but I think we are doing OK. Thus concludes my first update of 2007. There's much more to come, so stay tuned!
