dear riverside, please exist in nashville.

today is a new day. a good day. filled with the joys i feel i had lost for a while. God. He is big, and good, and real. He is in control, and faithful. it is so exciting to have days of realization that His plan is in action, and anything can happen. 

im at a point in life where i feel like im just letting go. im seeing that each day is it's own adventure. that this world is small. everyone is connected by a common thread. and things that have always been a passion of mine are coming together, but i still dont know what is going to happen. it's liberating. i feel as if i am really living in the freedom of Christ that the Bible talks about in Galatians. 

people ask me questions like, where are you headed? what's next after nashville? i find myself babbling about different vague ideas, and realize that i have no answers. i find comfort and much excitement in that reality. i have decided i love not knowing. and i love walking in that uncertainty and embracing it every day. it means i can go anywhere with anyone at anytime. and i love it.

a few realizations that i also came to recently are that i think i have add. which explains my difficulty being intentional. and my difficulty focusing on even things i think are interesting. and i have also realized that i have God given gifts and a purpose in my life. i feel like i know what it is even. but it's also vague. interesting. 

so with all this, starting on this new day, this adventure, i am wishing that riverside could move to nashville, and that we could all live together in a community that walks with one another in love. that provides for those who have need. and that enjoys life in Christ with one another. 

not so much to ask. is it? 

well since i guess riverside cant really exist in nashville, i choose to continue to make it a reality wherever i am. the "gang" as we so often called it will always be my family, just as ride:well, hope, and friends i have made since i have been in nashville will always be my family. God has something in store for each of us. we know each other for a reason. we are alive today for a reason, in this place, in this moment, with these people. what an adventurous journey this life is! 

today i embrace adventure head on. and i ask for this peace to last.
