GMA's Adventure - SO Airport.

DAY #1

So I find myself heading back out here... Good ol' NASHVILLE, TN. Or as soon people call it, "Nashvegas". I’m sitting in the Denver airport totally snowed in. Outside is a blizzard, absolute craziness. I don’t think I have never been snowed in anywhere, kinda cool…. ish.  Let me just tell you how good God is…

Hold the phone. Before I do that I just want to let you know that I have faithfully been up for 45 hours straight! The world looks different at this point…. Kinda fuzzy and everything is really funny. Everything makes me laugh at this point. 

Ok………….
Alright. I didn’t sleep at all last night… pulling a Haley, doing EVERYTHING at the last minute. What was I doing? Making copies of GMA demo (3 new songs…. Will be up on the myspace ASAP!), packing, copywriting new songs… from totally important BIG things - to the small stuff, I had once again found myself pulling an all nighter’ getting it all together. BUT I finished!!! Should not have happened…

*In case you don’t already know this about me I feel like I need to confess: I do not have the best time management skills and procrastinate far to often. I think it’s because deep down I enjoy the excitement of being spontaneous, not being bound by a schedule. Truly a dumb reason to lack structure. Structure and balance I know bring us freedom…. some how. It is becoming more and more obvious that my life won’t function well if I continue this pattern. Hehe. Learning…. Oh, growth.

The week leading up to last night and this moment has just been ridiculous. So busy and difficult. Anytime God is about the do some thing cool in my world things always get tough before they get better. I think that is how it is for most. All that said, I felt the enemy near this last week… but God was closer. I found rest and comfort in knowing God’s hand was on my life. Man, even when we feel like the world and everything gross in it is swallowing us whole it is refreshing to remember: He who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. All things work together for GOOD for those who are in Christ Jesus…. And no matter how much I fight for control of things, God is smarter than giving me control. What a bad idea! He is sovereign in any and all of my circumstances.

I almost missed my flight. It was a work out sprinting to the gate. The door to the plane was closing when we got there. By WE I mean myself and my friend Chris (lead singer for Relentless Pursuit), my trusted travel buddy for GMA’s this year. BUT again, God is good and we made it when we should NOT have.

We get to Vegas and had some good God time in the word. I had no idea you could fit soooo many slot machines in the airport. It was truly and airport/casino. Then we were of for Sacramento. I know what you’re thinking… “Wait, you’re going back to California?” Yeah. We did. From Sac we flew into Denver, the crazy blizzard A.K.A.- Vortex of Death. Landing was intense. So here I am- writing to you, waiting for our next flight, and remembering how good God has been and will continue to be. His thoughts and ways are higher than mine. Totes.
