New Beginnings

     I am discovering more and more the beauty of seasons. There are 4 seasons in the year, but I believe that we individually have seasons that occur in our lives. They are moments that give us an opportunity to grow or to remain stagnant where we are. Well, I have just begun a new season in my life. This time, I found myself being rooted from one city to establish roots in another.

     Nashville. Nashvegas. Music City.

     Whatever name you call it, I am a Tennessee girl now (but always a Southerner). The Lord has been talking to me recently about letting my roots grow deep. I believe that He's speaking about this season of my life, but more specifically about being rooted in Him alone. This new task of coordinating trips and working on behalf of the cause of orphans has stirred my heart to cling to this truth all the more: Jesus is the best and most secure place to put my roots.

    So, enjoy the pictures of my apartment in Nashville, but know that my roots are in Jesus alone. I hope yours are too. It's the best place to be.

...So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. 

-Isaiah 61:3b

Blessed is the man who trusts the Lord. And whose trust is in the Lord. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit.

-Jeremiah 17:7-8
