Have you ever had a season in your job, serving somewhere in your community, or even at home... where you've been so busy ACCOMPLISHING things, that you haven't had time to TELL anybody what you've accomplished. And so at times no one knows all you've accomplished. This is perpetually Steven's life and ministry. And as I read that paragraph back to myself, I can hear him adjusting what I've just said gently adding the phrase... yes, well, actually... haven't had time to tell anyone what God has accomplished by His grace through my efforts. : )
I think another factor here is that, it's hard for those of us who work in this industry/ministry day in and day out to realize that someone would be interested in what we're doing day in and day out. It's just what we do.
Particularly when SCC is on the road, this task of updating is even worse. In part, that's what this website, and the StevenCurtisChapman.com e-mail newsletter, and this blog is all about. We try to keep you up to date, but it's a struggle. But even this blog hasn't been able to keep up with Steven and the band on the SE Asia tour. Because the guys are working so hard to get the shows up and happening, and they are concerned that the audience be prayed for, that the performance be excellent, that they are advancing ahead for the shows coming up the next day and the day after, that they get through the airport in time to make flights, that they have gear working, that they don’t lose gear, that they fix things that get broken, that they have time with people there at the concert helping, that they can give it all on stage, that they complete interviews, they still connect with their families as best as possible while gone, and that’s just the top few... these things all take priority over say... Calling or e-mailing the management company : ) We are doing are best to give you a few bits of info from the road though.
I hope this blog is serving you well. It's still taking shape, so I welcome your questions, suggestions, encouragements, and comments. It's just me after all. :) But according to the statistics, while the audience for this blog has been small... but growing quickly. For now I'll keep going if it's alright with you.
