Typing that out seems crazy. 65 days I've already been here two months. Where did November go?
Figuring out a new city again has been quite the adventure! I am so privileged to work along side two beautiful, talented, loving women! (Jes & Meredith) That have been so wonderful at introducing me to Music City, and helping me find my way! I am so thrilled to get to share with you more over the next few months about how these two lovely ladies are impacting my life!
For now I want to give you a little update on what my last month has been like!
JESUS UPDATE:
Below is a list I made in My journal…
I wrote the struggles list at the start of November, and I made the Joys list at the end of November!

It is amazing to me that in one month's span God was has been so faithful in hearing my fears, and turning them into joys! HE IS FAITHFUL!
JOB UPDATE:
While working for CSM Nashville I have been provided an amazing opportunity to work 25 hours a week with one of our local ministry partners called THE NASHVILLE FOOD PROJECT.
THE NASHVILLE FOOD PROJECT
THE NASHVILLE FOOD PROJECT is a ministry based here in Nashville that is dedicated to providing healthy food to homeless and working poor communities across the Nashville area.
TNFP uses food grown in their local garden and food that has been donated by local companies to prepare meals in the kitchens, and then send the food out on food trucks to local low income neighborhoods.
My time working for THE NASHVILLE FOOD PROJECT will primarily be spent in the garden. I am excited to learn along side an amazing teacher and expand my knowledge on sustainable food production!
There will be many more posts about time spent in the garden coming soon!
Outside of getting to work for THE NASHVILLE FOOD PROJECT, I also get to work for CSM! In November that looked like traveling to Philadelphia, meeting a bunch of other CSM STAFFERS and getting some good training in! We laughed A LOT, we communicated and found that we were all in similar places and had similar hopes and fears, and we came together to encourage and lift each other up! It was an amazing trip!
These are just a few of the lovely people I got to meet who work in some of the other CSM cities!
So far Nashville has been amazing! I am excited to continue to learn learn learn!
