As I walk the path the Lord has paved for me, I am grateful to continue learning more about my Creator and about the beautiful world He has made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m learning to love words<\/em>. There was a time in my life when all I cared about was music and basketball. Writing essays as a high school student was a boring chore. And then I became a writing teacher. I\u2019ve embraced the fact that words move us and help us endure. Words are influential and powerful. Writing is cathartic; words can change a mood. There is beauty in words that is both obvious and mysterious, and I love exploring life through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m learning to embrace Scripture’s truths.<\/em> There is nothing more powerful, more enlightening than God’s Word. I know this to be true from my own life experiences, so studying and teaching these truths has become essential and life-giving. Expounding these truths through worship feeds my soul in an extraordinary way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m learning to truly enjoy the beauty in this life<\/em>. My husband and I don\u2019t just eat to survive. We enjoy <\/em>delicious food and time spent together over dinner, and we love laughing with friends while talking about life’s endless possibilities. Instead of wishing away difficult seasons in this life, I\u2019m learning to adjust my perspective and embrace each moment the Lord has given me. <\/em>I\u2019m learning that with a different outlook, there may be joy found in the darkness, and with<\/span> that light shed, there is always beauty to behold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
