Schooled by an 8th Grader

A few Sundays ago, I was schooled by an 8th grader. In a Sunday school class where I was the teacher.

I could’ve been embarrassed, but I was actually so blown away by her insight, I didn’t care. (Props to God for reminding me that the Holy Spirit speaks through ALL believers, regardless of age or education!)

Leaning In To God’s Word

On January 1, 2020, I decided to read through a chronological Bible in one year. Like everyone else, I had no idea how this year would turn out, but I am incredibly grateful that God laid it on my heart to be in His Word every single day.

Summer Break – The Grown Up Version!

“School’s… out for summer!” Are you singing along? I remember chanting this line in my head (with absolutely no idea who Alice Cooper was) during the end of my school days, dreaming of 90 degree afternoons at the pool and late nights in the backyard, playing flashlight tag and being eaten alive by mosquitos.

Happy Nashvilleversary to Me!

It’s hard to believe I’ve lived here almost a full year. I took the picture below when visiting Nashville in April of 2017 on a spontaneous day trip. I remember loving this sign, loving the city and hoping with all my heart that I’d live here one day. And now I do!

More Than a Baby

How would you respond if someone asked you to tell them the Christmas story? There are a lot of places where you could begin. I would probably start with Mary, the devout Hebrew young woman who was visited by an angel and told that she would become pregnant with the Messiah.
