Taking a small break from my usual entries on this TN blog as to talk about the recent floods in TN. First of all them hitting us really got me thinking. I am caring so much about a place I've been at for almost 3 yrs. And I realize now why. I LOVE Nashville! I love it so much. Its gotten uner my skin. It makes me cry every day to see our beautiful cities get flooded, lives recked and lost. Places we loved to visit. Everything that makes Nashville great is flooded.
But why do I love it the most? Why do I look forward to coming back and hoping to volunteer after our trip to California in a week? Because of this: The people. They dont call TN the Volunteer state for nothing. People are giving. In a state hurting SO many are giving. Money and time and such. People helping others out. Putting them above themselves.
They arent all Christians though I know some are. But they are truly "loving their neighbors above themselves" giving giving giving.
So if you wanna know why I love this state its cause of the people. I want to come back, I want to stay and help. So why did I move to TN? The people! I love Nashville simply because of that. And who we are :))
Prayers for Nashville and TN we will get through this and be much stronger after :))
