it seems like really big things in my life always happen in some kind of a tornado of sorts. in the past week and a half: i learned that the venue i book / church i attend is being taken over by a chain restaurant; i learned that the house i live in is being foreclosed and we have 2 weeks to move out; and i learned that my band is to play the biggest show of our careers in june.
3 huge things at once. ive been more sad, excited, and stressed than ive been in a very very long time. its sad that a revolutionary community and entire music scene is being stripped in order to make room for a fucking Taste Of Philly. you can get a god damn philly cheese steak anywhere. and why in the hell didnt our land lord tell us anything about what the fuck was going on?! asshole. and then theres the warped tour. while we are shitting ourselves to play, we havent had a permanent bass player in 4 months. the sub weve been using has a 1 year old and weve been training an unofficial member. while this kid is good, he is SUCH a slow learner. i honestly dont know if we will be ready in time. we may have to cut some songs and play some easy covers.
2 days ago, i was driving and came across a BEAUTIFUL homeless woman (the kind you look at and think, "why are you homeless? you could get a sugar daddy so fucking easily!"), holding a sign that simply said, "POSITIVE THOUGHTS."
yesterday i was reading the bible and came across this:
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
-jeremiah 29:11
two beautiful reminders that the lord has his hand in all of these situations and no matter what happens to me, he will never give me anything i cant handle.
may you learn the same thing, friend.
peace.
