In Nashville, I live in quite the progressive neighborhood. ‘Transitional’ as many call it. Lovely, quaint and full of character as I eagerly refer to it as.
Luckily we have many’a church around these parts and one day, a day when I was tumbling in self-doubt and a bunch of questions that honestly just needed to be shut up, the Bass Street Missionary Baptist Church’s marquee slapped me good:
Whatever your lot, build something on it.
Yes. Truth! There’s just no arguing around that really. It continues to bounce back and forth inside my head. Whatever. Build.
“Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure” Psalm 16:5
