Listen live at Pulse 96.7 on Feb. 22nd 7:15am ct. for interview with David Paulsen
It has been a dry season. As it got particularly hard, I decided to check if the plans i had made were in line with what the Lord really wanted from me. I asked Him for some encouragement if I was on the right path. I went to bed not knowing what the next day would bring. As Amber and I prayed the next morning, we received a phone call from a radio station in Albany, NY wanting to have me as their featured artists and play my songs for at least a week. We were surprised and excited.
ny bound…
it seemed right to travel and do the interview rather than over the phone. I had always driven with gear so i began to check into flying with a guitar. I wasn’t excited about my findings.
They throw guitars?!?!!…
I came across a video of someone who had their taylor guitar ruined.
I found that shipping it isn’t cheap. Some airlines allow you carry them on so do your research before buying. Ours didn’t allow it. A guitarist might risk it and hope they allow it and put it inside a plane closet.
No time for a flight case. I decided to put some armor on the guitar with two sheets of oak plywood to add support to the center of the case.
I watched United set my guitar gently a couple times and felt more at ease.
radio interview nerves…
speaking isn’t my strength and so i was nervous for the interview. Michelle and the Pulse staff were super cool to us and helped a lot. I tried to settle in to play a song.

quiet time brings new life…
perhaps the best thing was the time I made to just be alone with God on this trip. My time with him healed and gave me new life.
I am home now. The guitar made it safe -good job United. I continue to make more time each day to spend with God and it has made a huge difference. the staff at the Pulse greatly blessed us. I would imagine that God would expect my faith to grow from this. To be able to follow Him longer without needing encouragement. I am grateful for His answer. We had an awesome time.
what about you? Following dreams of your own? Wish God would instill His passion for your life into you? You may benefit from the following book that describes some of the things you will likely face as you follow God’s plan for your life.
