A Week in Nashville

It has been a week since I loaded up the truck and moved to the Music City. I was thankful to my friends Adam, Jonathan & Nathan, as well as my brother Chuck for driving up to Nashville and helping unload the truck. I have begun to familiarize myself with the surroundings and really only got REALLY lost today, I decided to take this side road home from church and lost my internal map location. Luckily I could just turn around but it was frustrating not being able to get home by a new way.

I have applied at a few places in town but will have to do more this week. I really need a job but there are parts of me that would prefer to wait till July to get a job. I have just about finished getting my apartment livable, though the kitchen still needs a few more additions of storage fixtures.

I cooked my first meal this week by making a pot of Santa Fe Soup in my crock-pot. This will provide me many meals and I rarely get tired of this as a leftover.

It is amazing how I will still look for people I recognize as I am shopping or driving around town. Logically I know there are significantly fewer people I know in Nashville compared to Auburn but I still do it nonetheless.

I begin school in July, but plan to get back to Auburn for my yard sale sometime this month.

This journey to Nashville has been a huge showcase for God to show his power in my life. The verse “more than you ask or imagine” has been the theme at this stage in my life. Even when things did not go exactly as planned, I was still able to revel in the power of God. I still have my doubts and find myself at times just waiting for something bad to happen perhaps that is where I could use more prayers both of my asking as well as others on my behalf.

While it has only been a week, I am excited to see how God will continue to work in my life.
