Is anyone else surprised that January is almost over? Where did it go?! It’s been a lovely month, even with back-and-forth weather. I like to say that the only predictable thing about Alabama weather is that it’s unpredictable. Just a few updates as we round out this month. I don’t want to be afraid to wrestle with God. I’ve always loved children’s ministry and the challenge of explaining biblical truths to them. Now that I’m teaching middle schoolers, the questions they ask are deep. Even when…
I feel like time passes quicker when you’re tracking it and that tracking it makes you more productive. I’ve accomplished much more in 21 days than I would have if I weren’t intentionally recapping them. Hopefully, you’re making good progress, too. Here are some of the past week’s highlights. God knows the world in ways we never will, and that’s a good thing. I finished up Job this week. Those last few chapters are powerful, and they leave me in awe of God as Creator. He knows intimately…
Hey, all! How has your week been? Meeting those goals? My week 2 was a strong one for the most part, but it was also challenging.

Job was struggling, and I think his…

In 2020, I want to read the NIV translation of the Bible chronologically and deepen my music theory knowledge. To read the Bible through, I’m following Tara-Leigh Cobble’s The Bible Recap plan and listening to the short podcast…
It’s cold tonight. Fall weather turned into winter for a few days, and while I’m sitting here under an electric blanket, I know many people are cold, some in my area. They may not have reliable heating, warm bedding, adequate shelter, or even a bed at all. They may have children who sleep on the floor, too. Even with suffering, there is hope.
