being!!! :)

oh... what a beautiful day it is!!!
today i am in nashville. i stayed last night with some friends from ohio that are now here in nasville... chris and jimmy davis and then amy slonecker. chris goes to belmont and jimmy to lipscomb, so it was kewl to see their schools and just hang out. it was so much fun. jimmy took us out on the town last night and drove all around. that was really kewl. then tonight i'll be staying with rachel's brother and wife david and heather, and their new baby savannah and karin, heather's sister will be there too. so i'm headed there in about an hour... but, ah, today has been wonderful and it has been mine!!
i got up around 10, showered, said goodbye to friends and headed out to discover nashville. i was looking for some quiet place to get coffee, read, study and just BE. i wound up at trevecca. and it was SO pretty!!! i sat outside by this rocky/waterfall thingy (LAKE! ha ha) and then chilled in the library for a while and then sat on a swing... like a porch swing. dude, olivet needs some of those!! :) then i made my way to downtown nashville where i am now at the nashville public library working on some sister 2 sister stuff, chilling, studying and just being. it is so much fun to me to just drive around, to explore, and to just chill. i feel so refreshed already. the rest of the weekend will be amazing too but oh, Praise Jesus for a day of wonderful nothingness!!!
these are the focusing thoughts of my day thus far...

PEACE.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me.
-John 14:1

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
-John 14:27

Like the River that runs to the Sea
The Oceans speak of Your love for me
It's deeper than I can imagine
And I don't have to ever be afraid
Cuz nothing in the Universe
