We were supposed to record on Thursday night. We had scheduled a session to begin tracking the drum parts. Sometime around 5 or 6pm. I had been calling the studio engineer (a friend of ours) to verify that appointment, but to no avail.
Until, about 10am Thursday morning…
“We did?! Oh man!” Those were not the words that I wanted to hear… 🙂
So, with MANY calls and much frustration, we managed to schedule a session on Thursday and Friday with another friend who runs a studio somewhat nearby. He was the engineer for our Come As You Are project.
So, Davd & I proceeded to Dansville, NY to track the drum parts at The Illuminata – a new studio right on Main St there in town. And we get there and catch up and hang out a bit as we are setting up… and in the process, I think I saw how God had arranged “bad” to be good.
Jesse had experienced an emotionally and physically draining week… he was busy, but also had some news that was hard to swallow. And he said that night that we were a big encouragement to him.. us being there, recording out of the blue, just getting to re-connect…
God works all things together for good for those who love him.
Jesse loves him. I love him. Dave loves him. I think all in all, small as a couple studio sessions are… God was at work for all of us. Turning a bad situation (messed up scheduling) into a great connection of people to encourage each of us.
And, the drums sound great! 🙂
So when things are frustrating you… stop, take a breath, ask God to show you where He’s working, cause you know He is…
And then take a look around and watch Him work all things together for good for those who love Him.
