Junior Year!


Well, it's been a month already and so much has happened! I can't believe it's already my third year, and so many of my dreams and hopes have come true.  Thank you Lord!

This past weekend, I had the opportunity and privilege of finally achieving my biggest college dream to date- performing (and making) the Belmont Christian Showcase.  The experience was invaluable.  Not only did I get to perform my music (for the first time ever to anyone besides my family) to over 2,000 people, but I got to further relationships with my band and all the people involved that will last a lifetime.

Christian showcase isn't about performing, but about getting the opportunity to glorify our Father in Heaven through the gifts and talents He put inside of us.
It's about community, and fun!
It's about networking, and possibilities.
It's about using music to see others changed, grown, and developed! Not us!

I really enjoyed the fact that my family got to come as well, from 3 different states all around the country! We visited all around Nashville, including some of my favorite restaurants- Silly Goose in East Nashville and Jeni's Ice Cream!

Another one of my favorite restaurants, The Pharmacy, I wanted to go to but we didn't have time this time.  My parents love it too!
In fact, here's an awesome blog post that my friend Danielle posted about the Pharmacy! Check it out!

Just when I thought life would slow down, there are 500 other things to do for school! But with God, there's total grace and wisdom! He shows me every day how to lean on Him and it's so fun to feel myself growing! Jesus is my everything, and Who makes me whole!
