So Steve and I have begun one of the greatest adventures of our lives. We are putting on shows in 40 cities over the next 50 days. This blog is an attempt to keep my thoughts/cities straight amidst the whirlwind.
I don't think I can learn enough in life that "it's not about me". As we began to dive into tour life--which is absolutely foreign to me-- I began to find myself fighting constant crankiness. The loss of control of your schedule, hygiene, alone time, workouts, etc came as a bit of an adjustment for me. I didn't realize how carefully I like to craft my days and how unaccomodating I can be when that changes.
Being at the mercy of complete strangers for a bathroom or a shower is humbling. But it's also beautiful. Sitting back and realizing that I am not able to meet some basic needs on my own leaves me blown away by those made in God's image who serve us. They are kind, courteous, and beyond generous... just like Him. This tour is truly a unique experience in that we rely on others for everything except the show content itself. We have been greeted with welcome baskets, gas cards, t-shirts, and so many other wonderful gifts. It really blows my mind.
I am so thankful for the chance to let go of controlling my schedule, and to let God fill in the gaps with beautiful people and adventures in exchange.
