I love an adventure! And doing life with Christ has been one after another…
Average girl from small town Alabama, I did my time doing the “norm” in high school and college. After I graduated from Auburn (WAR EAGLE!), God told me to pack up and head west. I ignored Him and took a job teaching at a private Christian school. By Christmas I was begging Jesus to let me off the hook of that ill fitting career! (Dear students, You learned nothing from me. I hope I didn’t ruin your education. At least we had some good Jesus discussions.) I landed at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Texas the next August. Single, naive, and 800 miles west of anyone I knew, my faith grew out of total desperation and dependence. It was awesome living like that. I was ruined and normal was no longer an option.
Two years and a new baby girl into our time there, God decided our life was beginning to look too normal. He added some unusual by asking us to adopt. Then He said “You need to go back east before you do.” What?! We just got here!
