So as many of you know I have successfully completed my first interview for my show : ) The day started like any other, going to church with my girl friend and chatting about the service afterward. We came back to my house and started preparing for the interview, which means me writing notes on a piece of paper for the interview that I never use. It's weird how if I write something down I will remember it so much better. Anyway....So as we are walking out of the house it starts to rain ( For any of my ladies reading this who straighten their hair...you know how terrifying this could be on a day of something important. ) So I reach for my umbrella and some how my finger gets caught in the umbrella and I am bleeding all over the place. Fabulous. At this point my camera guy calls me and says he is almost there. Yikes!! I hadn't even left the house. So I hop in the car and start driving quickly as I didn't want to make him wait. Well in my hasty driving I ended up driving way past the church I was supposed to do the interview at. So I quickly start praying, I am like " God I know your timing is perfect". So I finally get there and I call the band's manager and he doesn't pick up. So you know me....I start to go hunting for him. ( Reporter skills put to use!) I ask around and no one has seen him. But than in walks Conrad ( One of the guys I was interviewing). I didn't want to go up to him because, well that is not proper interviewing musician etiquette....you are supposed to wait on the manager. But after a nudge from my girlfriend I decided I just needed to suck it up and go over there and talk to him. So I told him that I was supposed to interview him at five but couldn't seen to find his manager. He had no idea what I was talking about. At this point I literally looked up and gave God a look. Like, are you serious God? How can you set me up to "fail"again? Apparently they were in the process of changing management and this interview must of got lost in the transition. I started praying immediately that hearts would be open to do the interview because I knew God wanted this interview to happen. Being the awesome God loving guys they are, they agreed to do the interview anyway : ) Not only did they do the interview but they gave me almost a full half an hour. After the interview was over they said once I send them a link, they will post it on their website! They also said I could use whatever video clips I want from their site or their documentary ( which would have probably never happened if their manager was there...nor would the length of the interview...as often time managers are worried about timing and license of video etc..) Can you believe that? My little interview on their website for all their fans to see? I almost cried of joy ( but I managed to hold it together so I could stay for the concert.... which was amazing mind you!!).
So despite all the craziness, God showed up! Sometimes a prick of the finger or running late or whatever could be the one second God needs to get your miracle in store. So we can't get mad at these things ( I know ...trust me this is easier said than done...I looked in the mirror after the interview and was mortified at my hair lol) we must pray and say God I know you timing is perfect and you work all things together for your good. Breathe my friends....God really does got it all under control. You just got to give it to him and He'll figure it out.
Yes, God is the Master Designer. It always amazes me to see how He takes the tangled mess I see and turns it into a beautiful tapestry. Everything looks better from His perspective.
