This past weekend we had the opportunity to volunteer with Hands on Nashville at Cohn Adult high school. PGSA, an organization I'm involved with through Vanderbilt, sent volunteers and it was such a great experience to be able to help beautify a local school. We painted a handicap ramp and an art classroom.
In light of current events, the presidential election, school, the economy failing, we are trying really hard to not get worried and instead focus on service to others. Somehow when you see the abundant needs of those in your community, it helps you to realize your problems aren't so bad. When we moved to Nashville Jeremy and I really wanted to re-prioritize service as an important aspect of our lives. I think the opportunity to work in the Dominican Republic this summer opened our hearts to God's calling for us to be better servants. Anyway, this week has been busy (as I'm sure all of you can attest to), but it is a good busy. The kind where we get home at night and are thankful for our daily commitments, but also thankful to have eachother and a place to call home. Nashville is finally growing on us and especially the fall weather here (have I mentioned how much I love fall).
Soooo....come visit us!
