Dates on Blog Carousel

Hello friends,

I want to use the the blog carousel to display events that are upcoming, however the cool date box only shows the date posted. My solution was to set the post date to the date I want displayed- which works fine. The problem with this solution is that there is no way to filter the carousel to only show future posts. Ideally I could have a feed of ascending dates with yet to be published posts, and only show future posts, this way after the event passes it is automatically not shown. How can I achieve this?

Thanks again.
