From crisis to band shoot

Last week they began talking to us about one of our bigger assignments, one that would be shown at our exhibition at the end of school
The dreaded
Band shoot. 
 I realized I should be very wise with time and should find a local band quite efficiently..
So I spent this week freaking out.
I’ve started to notice how bad I am at trusting that things will work out, in fact my first instinct from the get go is “Quick, its already failing! Move! Move!”

So pretty much I wasted so much time and energy, as well as air every time I spoke of how worried I was.
Ect. Ect. Yadda. Yadda.

Sigh.

Well I just phoned my band today-or as we professionals would say- my client,  and they seem so chilled. I couldn’t have asked for a better fit.
If I would have tried to find the quickest answer to my problem I would have ended up with a Screamo Punk accordion band with N’sync influences that wanted to shoot in a 50’s Ice cream parlor. And those jerks would have  made me provided them with all the free double dip cones time would allow.
Ughhh.
I hate you imaginary first answer band.

I reeeally tried to give this one up to God. It’s easy to leave Him out of decisions that don’t seem spiritual...but for more than two reasons I think that’s very sad. But, as I am tired and human, I am only going to give you two of those infinite reasons.
And just because I can, being the one writing the blog and everything I’m going to give you the second reason first… although you could scroll down and read the first one first if you want to.. But you probably didn’t even think of doing that until now.
Jokes on you though  because now your going to read that one first and that one is actually two anyway.

Bam.

Internet power.

…the day is obviously wearing on me.


Reason number one of those infinite reasons it’s sad we leave God out of the small decisions begins now.

2. He is an infinite God who sees both beginning and end. Meaning in every small minute decision He sees the perfect answer, or if you want to argue there is no perfect answer- He sees one that holds great good.
For me that means He sees the band that will work the best with me, or at the very least really well. Where as I only see a time constraint and the first answer band, who will leave me both annoyed and penniless. I could think “This is a stupid thing to ask God about.. He has better things to do than help me find a band that would let me get this project done.” Which leads me to reason number one.

1. If He is a close and personal God, someone we know wants a deep relationship with us, wouldn’t He want to be involved in every detail? Im hoping someday when I’m married my husband doesn’t just want to talk about how much we love one another, all the time. Although those times are valuable, if everyday when we sat down to watch TV he went on about how much his heart beats for mine I can say I would get a little annoyed.

Me-“How was your day hunny?”
Loving Annoying Hubby-“I couldn’t stand being away from the one my heart longs for.”
Me-“..So it wasn’t that great? Well I’m fixing chicken and gravy chips, it should be ready in about 10 minutes”
LAH-“10 minutes without you would be painful, you are my one, my only.”
Me-“Thanks… did you want broccoli with yours? I made some for me but I wasn’t sure if you wanted some too.”
LAH-“I want all you have to offer. I love you.”
Me-“…K… I’m just gonna….go… upstairs for a minute… or so.”

24/7. Although those times ARE crucial, there’s more to a relationship than confessing your love.
It’s the same with God. He is a personal being, who want to be involved! He loves speaking with us about everything, He loves us asking His input. Like a husband would love helping his wife.. Find a band for her photo shoot… God loves helping us too!

Personally I think some of his favorite times of helping us are when we talk to him about the small things. He wants to be included and involved in every moment of our lives.
From crisis to band shoot.
