I don't even know where to begin with this post. I know ya'll are looking for a Nashville recap with pictures but for today I want to share this with you and the pictures are to come. Because today, this moment, this is my heart/was my heart as I sat in the Nashville airport yesterday waiting to come home.
My very first entry in my Nashville Prayer Journal on 2.21.10:
I sit here at the Nashville airport with tears flowing down. My heart is full and my spirit is overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by his faithfulness and the way the Lord showed up in a huge way this week. I will move to Nashville. I am moving to Nashville. And I say this without hesitiation and without a doubt in my mind. This place feels like home to me. My heart is here in every single way possible.
I leave here with a new excitement in my heart. I leave hopeful that my future will be planted here in this city. God is making it abundantly clear to me that he is listening and that he sees the desires of my heart and that he is preparing me. I never truly realized that he has been preparing me all along. But I know he has. I am going back to Florida with a new and fresh revelation in my spirit. My heart is fresh and anew. I pray Lord that you are directing my steps, wherever that may lead. And you’re telling me that it’s Nashville. It blows my mind that you care about the little details of my life. You love me and I know that, and I cling to that. Thank you Lord for divine appointment and the relationships I have made in the state of TN. It’s not by chance and I know that. You make me smile when you show up in the small ways in my life that take my breath away. You take my breath away in such a sweet way that leaves me in awe.
When I board this plane and I go back home I know things will NOT be the same. I look forward to tomorrow and every day after that leads me one step closer to my Nashville dream.
This is my Nashville prayer!
I do have to share one picture with you.
Gave me chill bumps and think I about lost it!
I was walking down the streets of downtown Nashville.... and this is what I saw.
My name written out plain as day in the concrete on the street! This is just a glimpse of my week!
Ummm, I hear ya, Jesus!! :)
