Heart to Hearts,

Doesn't every girl have a life outline? You know, the one where you have your life perfectly planned out in bullet points.
What happens when life throws you off and you are forced to alter the plan? My big 2-5 is coming up and this birthday is a deadline for some of those bullet points. According to 13-year old me, I was supposed to be married with a baby on the way. (HA!)
Recent events have prompted me to look at my life and rediscover my plan. I never had dreams of living independently in a big city in my mid-twenties (omg, mid-twenties?!). But it's my reality, and I am grateful for it. Since my move to Nashville, I have grown more than I have in all my 24 years combined. I feel a sense of empowerment. I am independent, faithful, confident and I see the beginnings of the woman that God created me to be.
Not only have I been learning about myself but I'm getting to soak up everything Nashville has to offer. My heart and mind are open to change and I suddenly have the opportunity to explore my own desires and goals. I get to do things for me: take a pure barre class, start a blog, meet a friend for coffee at 10 pm on a Wednesday, volunteer with children, have my mom be the first person I call with big news, spend extra time with God everyday.
Being single in the city is a beautiful thing and I believe 'The Man Upstairs' knows just what He's doing.

My season of singleness is preparing me for a lifetime of happiness..
Throw out that outline and enjoy the rough draft!
