The adventure overtakes the surrendered traveler's expectations

Im packing my suitcase and just preparing my mind for whats about to happen this up-coming year. I get a call around 6:10 today from Teen Mania. Already thoughts of "What did I forget?" and "What's wrong now?!" flooded my head. it was very rough, but I answered...surrendered to the consequences (good or bad) that this phone call brings.

I answer like I always do, calling myself JT. I didnt think it through really. After I explain that JT is also my name, they lay it on me. They ask if I want to do the School of Worship, or was still interested.

Of course I'm interested. I wanted to go SO badly, but two things prevented me: 1) I didnt have any means of recording myself for the audition to post it on Youtube. 2) I didnt think my parents could afford it. So I accepted the fact God probably didnt want me there yet. She then told me something I couldn't believe.

She said, there is an audition on arrival day for School of Worship. And that it only costs about $150 extra a month. The extra part didnt excite me, but as she talked about the audition..i get SO EXCITED. I told her I'd love to do it. She asks what instrument...i say guitar (cuz its what I do). Then she asks if I do vocals. I say Im learning...but I will try the audition...its an audition not a performance...so im down being told no on vocals. Im still learning, and if i dont get in with vocals, i can always learn from singers how to :)...its a nice trade.

Now granted...it's an audition. I have no clue what to expect. Its prestigeous. The dude who wrote 'Open the eyes of my Heart" leads this....ya...and my work load increases.........ya. But its worth it. God opened an opportunity. He never gives us things that He knows we cannot handle through Him (and in my Bible, my God is the one who does miraculous signs, wonderous "coincidences", and gives strength to the weak; so Im pretty confident anything that life throws our way isn't something we cannot survive through with God).

I am humbly walking into it, and will enjoy God regardless the outcome. I still have my guitar while Im there anyways, so my guitar playing wont die. Im honored to be seen by such a God, and for Him to be mindful of me. What a reminder.

Friend of God
Who am I that you are mindful of me?
That you hear me when I call?
Is it true that You are thinking of me?
How You love me, its amazing!

I am a friend of God x3
He calls me friend!

God Almighty
Lord of Glory
You have called me friend
