As I stumbled out the door this morning at 8:30, I completely forgot to grab my cell phone. I remembered on about mile 38 of my 41 mile trip. Yes, we did survive not having cell phones a few years ago. An actor needs to be reachable all the times. My being off the grid even for the morning was risky. I could not go back for it, so I prayed I wouldn't get a call for my daughter to be somewhere at 2:00. Today, she was filming a scene for a film that she worked on this Fall. I was most concerned that her current film would decide they wanted her today and I wouldn't be reachable. I was also a little worried her agent or manager might try to reach us.
Today's filming ran over by 2 hours, (insert sarcasm)yay! I was ready to run out of there once they finished. When she was finally wrapped, we made a quick 41 mile trek home. The upside to sitting around for 4 hours is that I finished Catching Fire. I can't wait to get my hands on the 3rd book and find out how this thing ends.
Thankfully in the six hours I was without my phone, I missed one call from my hubby about 20 minutes before I got home. It was for a film audition for tomorrow. It came through e-mail and he handled it. After my phone was back into my hands, my daughter's manager called. Just as an aside, in L.A. most actors have agents and managers. The manager does the hand holding and got your back stuff. The agent books your jobs. She was letting us know that my daughter had an audition for a national commercial tomorrow.
Whew! God showed up today by having everything wait until I was back on the grid. Lesson learned...strap that cell phone to my body and never take it off. Just kidding. I will just make sure I have three things before I leave, my wallet, keys, and cell phone.
Praise the Lord! I was watching for my God moment all day. I thought the cell phone might be part of it, but I didn't know how until it all unfolded. God always delivers.
"For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does."
Psalm 33:4
