A Day in the Life...

Most people have been asking the same question of me lately, "Nashville! Why are you in Nashville?"



And so...I shall answer the 100million dollar question..... Because Jesus wants me there, to work mainly, but to do other things too...

But first the beginning...
A few months ago I was offered a job in Nashville, working for the same agency that I interned for last fall. But, I could never get the peace that I needed to move down and start to work. So I did what I hate to do, I waited. And I waited, and I waited. But somewhere in that waiting, God was slowly showing me that waiting doesn't just mean sitting in my room. Waiting means actively persuing what God is trying to show me. So after a few weeks of actively waiting, one night I got a phone call.
It was a wonderful friend that I met last year in Nashville. She was calling to offer me one of her bedrooms to stay in while I picked up some work...for free. She and her husband, and her 2 adorable boys, have graciously let me crash into their home for a few nights a week, so that I can work.



So that's it. I'm working in Nashville, a few days a week, AND I'm still able to come home most weekends to be involved in worship at church.
All in all- God's plan is WAY better than anything I could ever, think, hope or dream...but then again, He already told me it was....


Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

^"How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone." James 4:14

Today is a sad day. But a day like today always reminds me that life truly is like a vapor. Here one minute and gone the next.  

A very good friend of mine said to me today, What's it all worth Hannah? We work and work, but we can't take it with us...what good is it? 
What good is life, if we don't point everyone we know in the direction of the One who Gives Life? Honestly, it's worth nothing.  A few years ago, I'm not sure I would have had an answer to that question. All I wanted in life was success and money.  But over the last year, I've learned that the ultimate calling and responsibility is for us to be so immersed in Jesus that He is what we work towards. He is the ultimate success. Being able to tell my friend, that we have to choose where we spend eternity, was one of the best minutes of this sad day.  He knows it, but sometimes we run from it.  

Life isn't about money.fame. fortune. Because in the end, you can't take it with you. Life is about showing a lost world, just who Jesus is. It's about being so in love with Him that He is all you desire.  In the end, it'll all work out. 

Life is a vapor. Here one minute and gone. Are you living so that your vapor of a life will impact someone else? Or are you living only for yourself?
