I found out today I have 3 artists interviews in my remaining week at the radio station. I don’t mind doing interviews and have done plenty in my day. Considering the first is tomorrow and I just found that out today I could use a little help. I am going to be interviewing this guy tomorrow and need some good questions. What have you always wanted to know about Mark Lee and Third Day? You can listen to the interview at 10AM EST (give or take a couple minutes since artists are almost always running late) here. Click the streaming online button at the top of the page.

There is a lot of stuff happening in my life right now. Crazy stuff. Everything is happening at once. I’m usually a upbeat, positive, and fairly happy person but all this has me hiding that I’m scared witless. I really might have my dream job in 2 weeks. Didn’t think there was even a chance of that happening. There is another situation in my life right now too that could potential change my life even more than the job situation and part of me just knows this is all going to work out. Yet I’m still scared. I’m not strong enough to handle all this but everything could turn out really, really good like too good to be true.  The good coming out of this suspense waiting period where I am almost overcome with fear: I have to trust Jesus. I like being in control. I’m management person but this is all way far out of control and I don’t want to control the outcome of this because I’m not sure what I want to happen.  Something huge is about to happen, I know it and it scares me. For this first time in my life, I’m glad I’m not in control of this.Gina Blaze from Fires of Prayer shared with me something at the SoulFest last year when I was going through another hard situation that changed my life. The paraphrase of  what she shared is peace is something we consciously equip ourselves with as part of the armor of God. I’m trying to have a spirit of peace about this all. Gina Blaze is the real deal. In my years of working for the SoulFest, I’ve skeptically avoided their ministry at the SoulFest until I desperately needed it and Gina sought me out. Plus she bought me a delicious iced coffee after she prayed with me. Who does that? Thank you Gina for the coffee and the advice God knew I would still be using months later…

So I have been a little dead on here because I didn’t have anything I wanted to talk about. I got laid off. I didn’t want to be at the radio station much longer anyway but it was still a little bit of a blow. Let’s face it, no one likes to get laid off. It’s just kind of violating.But right after I got laid off, God just really showed me now is the time for me to move to Nashville. I’m still working out the details. I’ll be down there again this year for that crazy, crazy thing called GMA week in about a month.The other day I was sitting alone at work. (I have two weeks left) I was thinking about Brody and how the music industry is changing so much yet what he is doing with artists and the whole blogging thing is keeping him at least somewhat on top of the game.  So I thought about what set me apart from many other people in the industry and came up with a job position that does not currently exist and why I am perfect for this position. So beginning with an IM conversation(already done), followed by an email then a phone call I’m hopefully going to be selling this idea to my number one choice of employers to work for. The weird part is it is one of these guys Brody wrote about here. I’m not saying which…but if you are a praying person please pray for me.  I’m excited. I’ve got one heck of an email to write when I get home today. I’m suppose to whet my hopefully future boss’s appetite enough that he is dying to hear the end of my idea. The end of the idea I will give to him in a phone call over his vacation. I’m excited this idea is definitely from God and not me, I think something potential huge could come of it…(huge meaning not just for me but for the industry and consumers, etc.)
