Nashville

I am in Nashville, TN!  This is my first time here, and it has been great.  So you may be wondering what I am doing here?  Well, I was asked by one of my supervisors to come here and help present FMSC to the record labels that are coming together for an offsite packing event in December.  Wow, huh?  I am honored to have this opportunity.  So today we did two of the presentations and then visited the site of the event.  Tomorrow morning I give the final presentation and then fly home.  I go straight from the airport to another event in MN.  I am a busy bee this week!  But I wouldn't trade my job for the world.  God is working some incredible things in my life; growing and challenging my heart to be focused on His mission always because He has plans for me that are bigger than my wildest dreams!!  I am trying to be fully in each moment, and chase after Him as passionately as I know how.  And I am excited to live those dreams out.

Today I was at an event all day in Richfield, and it was awesome.  It was an incredibly long day, but so full of laughs!  I don't know why it is so hard for me to get through my brain that God provides what is needed.  He is consistent and faithful, and I am forgetful and doubtful.   When it is a long day that I think I am just going to drag through, he provides laughter and encouragement.  When i doubt about meeting or exceeding a goal, he takes care of it so I don't have to worry too much.   It seems like I compartmentalize God sometimes; trusting in his providence in some areas of my life, and thinking I need to control other areas.  It is silly.  So tomorrow I will try harder.

On Friday and Saturday I was had the privilege of working at one of the permanent sites for FMSC.  When I first starting working at FMSC two years ago it was at the Eagan site, and even though we are in a different part of the building, it still feels like coming home to family when I get to work there.  There is so much I love about working at sites, and it was great for me to revisit those things.  Also, I got to work with some people I haven't worked with in awhile, and that was refreshing!  I was a little disappointed when no one came dressed up on Halloween, I thought for sure at least one person would.  And in the spirit of Halloween I put a sticker on the floor of the washroom that made it look like there were rats coming out of a sewer grate, but again disappointment followed as it scared no one; I am pretty sure no one even looked twice at it.  Oh well, it made me laugh!  

The next event is the end of this week, so until then I will be working hard to get that CD finished.  I will also be relaxing as I have a busy couple of weeks ahead of me.
