Is this an answered prayer?

Do you sometimes wonder if your prayers have really been answered by God or are you a skeptic? Last night Sugar Pop got an email from a company that puts together compilation CDs and then distributes them to radio stations for air play. He had given them his demo when we were at the GMA Academy last weekend. They want to put one of his songs on their Spring CD (they didn't say which one). Of course, they charge for this - $1,000. This is exciting, but Sugar Pop is very skeptical and wonders if they just want money. We're going to be in prayer about this to discern if it is God's will. Please pray.

Heavenly Father, WOW! We are overwhelmed by what this opportunity could mean, but yet skeptical. Please guide us in this decision. Please give us discernment to know Your will. Following you is what is most important. Show us what You desire. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

We did some research on this company. They've been doing these CDs for seven years. What you are paying for is their promotion and distribution of the CD. They are like a publisher for just one song. Publishers are the people who do marketing for you and they make 50% of all the money from the song. The CD will not be for sale, so this fee is how they make money. Sugar Pop will receive royalties when it is played on the radio. Unfortunately, KLove and Air1 don't play independent artists so we may never hear it on the radio where we love because we don't have a local radio station. We will get a report (and royalties) so we will know if it has been played.
