Nashville... =)

    Last night the Country Music Awards came on! Live from Nashville, TN! Ahhh I absolutely am one of the biggest country music fans ever! I havent ever really had the money to go to all the different concerts but I have been to a few. There are so many up and rising artists is crazy! Believe it or not, years ago as a teenager I had planned on going to Nashville... I had recorded a demo and was doing a lot of performing. My senior year of highschool it calmed down a little bit then I met Nick (who would end up being my hubby) and have done an occasional wedding, funeral, and now sing in the praise band at our church! I have always known the Lord had given me a gift and cant wait to sing lullabys to my babies. Last night I was being silly inbetween commercial breaks and singing some really old country songs and my mom looked up and said  "you know I still believe in you"... I thought "do what?" She begin to explain how I had kind of given up (well may not given up but definitely put on the back burner)  my dream of being a country music singer because I wanted to get married young and have a family but she still believed I could make it! That really spoke to me.. So of course Nick looks at me with big eyes and says "There you go babe, we should try and get your music career rollin" I tried to explain to him how demanding it is and would be and he says, "so, id be right there beside you.." Of course Im thinking about the singers who were on the CMA's last night and how 90% of them had been in Nashville for years selling tshirts, bar tending, winning shows, and trying to work their way up before they finally got a record deal!
      That whole conversation made me think about my relationship with Christ and thats really how He feels about His children. He still believes in us even after we may have missed the boat (or think we have ;) , and Hes always right there beside us! So who knows what the Lord has in store musically but its worth some prayerful consideration I guess ; )
