Five Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Six Hundred Minutes...How Do You Measure The Life Of A Woman Or A Man?
Today I read my friend Nick's online journal, and he was talking about how God's presence is continually evident. I nodded in silent agreement but then went on with my day. The last couple days have been a bit frustrating for me in the studio...not because of the guys, but those of you that know me know that I am hard on myself and the last two days showed that. I was questioning if I should have still tried to force a way to go to Nashville and if staying here was the best plan of action. I knew that all the signs seemed to point here, but at the moment I was feeling inadequate to the project(this is my first hip-hop project) and I didn't know if I was doing this particular project any justice.
I was in the studio yesterday for what I recall was the 8th of 12 hours there and was really getting down (12 hours is a long time to sit in a chair, stare at a computer screen, and listen critically.) The guys were brainstorming and discussing ideas and so I drafted up a really rough mix of one of the songs. When they got to hear it, Poe (one of the MC's) flipped and in his words, "Rod's a beast," so that was encouraging. Then this morning I remembered that I forgot to call the Wal-Mart in Nashville to tell them I couldn't make it this summer. The part-time hours with the Photo Lab was going to be my only source of income down there. Anyway, I called them this morning and it turns out it's a bad summer and budgets are running low and they couldn't afford to hire for the summer after all. After that, I looked to the sky and whispered, "OK God, I get it...thanks..."
So that being said, I know where I'm supposed to be, and for the most part, what I'm supposed to do. It's weird, some of my old song lyrics come to mind:
"If I waited for a burning bush to tell me what to do...then I'd never have sufficient faith to go on day to day...Lord give me faith to trust in You..."
-Burning Bush//Burning Scroll
"And we don't know where it will take us...And we don't know where we'll be...It never really mattered before, why would it matter now?"
-Before We Take This Road
Enough for now, thanks everyone...
Soli Deo Gloria,
-Rod
