trying to find somewhere 'nashville-ish' to eat breakfast, but completely abandoning that mission at the sight of the "hot doughnut" sign in front of Krispy Kreme.

the broken escalator in the conference center that reminded me of truth my heart needed to hear.[disclaimer: this may seem obvious and lame to some of you, but regardless i learned something walking up the escalator] i've heard people talk about the humor in frustration with broken escalators, because a broken escalator is merely a set of stairs. it leads you to the same place, doesn't cause a serious detour that takes way longer; it just causes you to use some muscle instead of gliding to your destination. so, as i approached the "stairs" i realized that i've been that person that becomes confused when the "escalator stops moving". in other words, there are times when my life seems to stop, or change suddenly & i've stopped moving instead of continuing to move forward. in the midst of that, the Lord still asks me to move forward, to use the simple lessons i've learned like: how to walk, to have faith that He is before me, to draw strength from Him, to seek His guidance and understanding; and to continue to move forward. yes, the escalator has stopped, but there is still a way. yes, it's different, but i'm not left without direction. yes, it may take effort. yes, i may be tired. yes, He is still enough. yes, His voice is still just as clear.
