{Field Experience} Christmas Choir Concert

{Field Experience} Christmas Choir Concert

We started attended our Church memorial weekend. I felt desperate to find a church again–after leaving our last church for “going woke” and dismissing actual biblical theology–and we started feeling isolated and without church family. Within weeks of finding the church, the girls had volunteered for VBS (and it was one of the best-run VBS camps the girls had ever participated in, or volunteered for) and then the church Music Retreat was announced. A and C both really wanted to…

My world continues to shrink…

My world continues to shrink…

This post will likely be a brain dump of sorts, not particularly eloquent or organized, but I woke up at 5 am and just couldn’t get back to sleep. My mind is heavy.

{Books} My booklist from WIA

Have you ever decided, last-minute, to attend a conference that you weren’t even confident you understood the content–but you had recently become familiar with members speaking at the conference and thought “why not?” I really like those speakers, so it should be good. And then, less than a week later of discovering said workshop, you found yourself in this conference and feeling like these people were YOUR PEEPS? Have you ever just felt like Jesus led you to a place…
