In a world where we don't like change. A society who cringes over the word "Change." Majority of Americans prefer things to stay the way things are. I myself have the tendency to be against change. I am able to eat the same meal every night, and work at the same job for year all out of the mind of comfortability. Let us challenge and rethink this notion. I need to embrace change more. I need to get so uncomfortable that I don't even know what the usual looks like. As you all have found out by many of my past posts I am a dream chaser. Nothing about chasing a dream is comfortable. We must overcome the fear in our journey. I take on comfortable because it is easy/safe. Nothing about life is suppose to easy. When we get uncomfortable allows God's glory to get us through. Stepping forward in this new season where I am striving to get uncomfortable it can be as easy a my new haircut enough change to mix it up. If I keep going this will become easier and eas...

I often think if I could go back, what would I tell myself. How would I best equip myself with the knowledge and wisdom to gain in my past years. I wanted to write a letter to myself a year ago giving the best advice I could give my 26 year old self. Dear 26, This year will begin for you as a journey through a time that you will never forget. You will achieve things that you had only dreamed of in the past. It will take require a lot of courage from you, and it will not be comfortable. You will need to push past the adversity. Dreams are a funny thing and can be scary, but what in life isn't scary. After this year you will learn that nothing in life is guaranteed, and everything is worked for. Your year will begin with some incredible experiences, starting with an fantastic trip with some of your best friends to Florida. Spending the weekend in Destin just hanging with people that are there for one reason and one reason only, and that is to "Be Still." Learni...

So excited for the new look as well as all the things instore. Enough of that, getting back to todays feature. Nashville is a town full of talent, and hopefuls wanting to make it big. It's where dreams are born and also crushed. Today I am bringing to you a band that has proven that dreams do come true in this city. With a lot of hard work and for them the ride is just beginning to get crazy. With John&Jacob's schedule booking very quickly they still were able to take time and allow me the opportunity to interview them. I ran across their material on Lightning 100 a radio station here in Nashville and instantly fell in love with their song "Be My Girl." The song is so different to what we normally hear on the radio, and I knew when I heard it that this duo was going somewhere. When I...
