This first picture was taken September 20,2015.

11 years ago today, I packed up and moved to Nashville with a dream and no idea what the next 11 years would look like.

Looking back now, I’m just grateful.

Grateful for every person who believed in me before there was much reason to. Every fan who supported me along the way, and Everybody who sat in a writing room with me, let me play a show, cut a song I wrote, opened a door, gave me a chance, prayed for me, encouraged me, or was simply there when I needed somebody.

There have been mountaintops and valleys, answered prayers and closed doors, wins I dreamed about and lessons I never saw coming.

And through every bit of it, God has been faithful.

I wouldn’t trade the last 11 years for anything. Every song, every mile, every stage, every friendship, every yes, every no… all of it helped get me here.

To everybody who has been any part of this story, thank you. I mean that more than you know.

And most of all, thank You Jesus.

11 years down. Still grateful. Still dreaming. Still following wherever He leads next. #BLAMEJESUS
