Little Moments

Yesterday was one of those days where I was doubting my place here, in Nashville. It seems my mind is constantly buzzing with comments that suggest I should indeed, return back to Raleigh. I fight every semester to come back up here, and every semester I seriously consider not. It's not that I don't want to be at Belmont, it's just a huge financial leap. Yet, I always hear God's promise to me, "I will provide." After this past summer, and not having an actual job, yet coming out of it with more money than I would have made should I have held a job, I am reminded once again that, indeed, God will provide.

But yesterday, I just wasn't sure. I needed confirmation of my place here, I needed to know I wasn't just coming out here simply because I wanted to, but I was coming out here to follow God's footsteps for me.  It had been raining all day yesterday, really it was just a gross day where the sun never shines. Needless to say, it was the perfect day to be running errands all over the city, getting drenched every time I got out of the car.  As I was driving back from a friends house, the radio was on, and as I had just changed the station when the lyrics of the previous song suddenly clicked in my mind. It was a song by the Afters, and the lyrics went like this,  "You light up the sky, You light up the sky to show me You are with me, I can't deny that You are right here with me..." Now, at this exact moment, I noticed the sun had appeared through the clouds and lit up the sky, after a days worth of gloom. Cue the goosebumps. And then almost immediately after the song was through, the rain picked back up again.

Confirmation? Yeah, I think so. Praise God for that!

So as if that wasn't enough, today I went down for a little orientation meeting at Rocketown, the place where I will be interning this semester. As I was taking a tour throughout the facility and my supervisor was giving a little history of it all, I was overwhelmed with such great emotions of joy. I'm really just not sure how to accurately explain how I was feeling, but it definitely had God written all over it. Tears of joy were even welling up in my eyes, thats how overwhelmed I was... and this is coming from a girl who doesn't embrace crying that easily. But, ahhh! I just am so so so excited to work there and become a part of that team in which I am absolutely in love with the whole business plan and what they do.

Hallelujah, thank you Lord for such wonderful confirmations.

And to everyone who tries to tell me differently about where I should be, hear me say this now: For the time being, Nashville is where I am to be. And where I will stay until God moves my path elsewhere.
