One Month

It has now been a month since my big move to Nashville, and with the exception of a few funky curve balls, life has been brilliant. After a month of crazy changes, I thought I would update you on a few of my favorite new things....

I have a wonderful apartment and a great roommate, who will be returning from tour tomorrow!! 

I'm working at Brentwood-Benson as a music sales rep, I love the people I work with there, they make it a joy to go to work everyday.  It's great going from a job you dreaded daily to one you actually enjoy!!

I'm attending & helping at Crosspoint Church. Pete Wilson, the head pastor at Crosspoint, is a dynamic speaker and his messages seem to speak straight to me. This is also the where my friend Stephen Brewster is the creative arts pastor, he is helping me get plugged in. 

On Monday nights, I help out with People Loving Nashville, which is a group of people who feed & clothe homeless people. They not only help people, but they build relationships with the people and take time to look deeper into the people's lives, instead of looking past them like so many do. The stories you hear and the things you learn, from the people who show up, are quite interesting and very eye opening to simple things we daily take for granted. 

I'm very grateful to my friends who have helped make this move so amazing. My friend Amy keeps me up with all the cool trendy places...haha.. last night she took me out to see Steel Magnolia... Not only did I enjoy a great show, but we had friend pickles - a totally new thing, I've now experience twice. After the show we went to Cafe Coco and I had Canadian French Fries - if you haven't had them, be open minded and try them. 

My friends/family at CMC are some of the most amazing people ever. CMC alum are slowly taking over Nashville, and now that CMC is located here, it's only going to grow. I love knowing that they are right down the road.

This is all for now, but there is so much more to come!! 

Stand

I was talking to my friend Whitney yesterday, and she made a comment that I can't get out of my head:

"Everybody says its going to be okay, but what do you do till it's all ok?"

I think this song answers that question....

Psalm 20:6-9

Now this I know:

The LORD gives victory to His anointed.

He answers Him from His heavenly sanctuary

with the VICTORIOUS power of His right hand.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses,

but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

LORD, give victory to the king!

Answer us when we call!

A New Story Begins.....

Blogging has never been an easy thing for me, because I'm not regular with it, however as I begin this new chapter in my life and I believe I will make this part of my weekly/daily schedule.

My "New Years Resolution" was to move to Nashville, TN and get a job in the music industry. As I began making plans to move, I had no idea what would lay before me, I chose to jump when I could have rested conformably at home.

Arriving on the 4th, I had two job interviews scheduled by the end of the day - one on the 5th and the other on the 6th, both interviews went very well and I was hired at Brentwood Benson Music Publishing - I work within their sales department.

I've also found more opportunities opening than I could have ever imagined!

Now, 2 weeks after moving, I've learned that as I completely allow God to lead me, He's always faithful to see every detail through. I plan, worry, and get frustrated over such insignificant things - creating monsters & monstrosities out of teddy bears & pebbles. Sometimes I believe he sits back and laughs at me, and when I finally slow down enough to listen, He comes in and whispers to me that His purpose will always prevail.
