Nashville in November

This November I will be going to Nashville to record my first solo album.

Oh.. You didn't know?

Neither did I.

Until a month ago I thought it was just a nice, distant hope, and one that was pleasantly and unobtrusively shaping my "dream future".

I was casually writing songs and singing a little here and there.

Then I started praying about it. I decided this was going to happen.

Someday..

So.

I told Will that I was going to start working toward recording.

I punched a hole in a jelly jar and started putting dollar bills and coins in.

It took months to get $700. Less than a tenth of what I would need.

But I was so excited!

Then Will and I decided to move back to Texas.

Without the prospect of a job.

There went the jelly jar savings!

Then

The strangest thing happened.

The best kind of twist -

"poof" a precious "fairy godmother" appeared

And literally said, "I would like to make your dreams come true!!"

And so she is.

I am recording at a wonderful studio

With Andy Osenga as my producer

And all I have to come up with are travel expenses!!

Well.

I know that fairy godmothers aren't real.

And things don't happen "poof", out of thin air.

But it's hard for me to believe that God is doing this.

That He planned it.

Provided for it

Because I have been a little bit angry with Him lately.

Honestly. I am confused that He would allow me to do this.

I am humbled

And I am sad that I didn't trust Him in the first place.

I should have known.

So

I have resolved.

That.

Even if I don't get to go to Nashville in November

I know that He has something better.

Hopefully it involves a spot at His feet.

I don't need a jelly jar or a fairy godmother for that.
