The Rainpocalypse and What It's Brought About

Nashville flooded this weekend. A LOT of water is happening around here.
Belmont stayed pretty dry, and I thank God for that, but it throws things out of perspective. Here we are, forced to keep on campus and studying for finals and there are bodies being uncovered in the floodwaters, houses rotting because of water damage, famous landmarks devastated.

I'm living in a part of the country that the president has declared a Federal Disaster Zone. And there's not much I can do but refrain from doing laundry or showering too excessively.

So much is happening here in Nashville. I've met so many new people and grown in my faith immensely in the past few months and I'm going to be torn away from it in just a few days. Last semester it was so hard for me to acclimate and now it breaks my heart to have to leave.

God is doing such big things in this city and I don't want to miss out on any of it. I guess I'm going to have to find God's work in the dreary suburbs this summer. I just pray that I can find others to encourage me and live with purpose this summer. I'm so scared I'll just fall into complacency - but no, I refuse. God will do big things this summer, I just have to let him.

Bring it on.
