February 2021
DELIGHTS & DAYS
I am walking into this year full of hope and anticipation - not that "COVID will be over" or that I can finally do this or stop doing that. My hope comes from practicing the presence of God. His presence anchors us for life without fear. "Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be afraid, I will also help you. I will strengthen you, I will also help you, I will also uphold you with My righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)
We are heading into the storyboard section of Developing a Discerning Heart sharing stories through the grid of our heart's design and how we can move closer to our Designer.
I'm super excited about transitioning our Facebook Live video series to a Podcast that can be shared with even more listeners. We hope these conversations invite you into our story of developing biblically equipped leaders. This season we focus on adult learning and ways paying attention to this can create spaces of trust and depth in your families, small groups, and relationships.

FAMILY
Maddie is applying to HIGH SCHOOLS this month. Her first love is pursuing creative writing at Colgan HS. However she is keeping her options (and mind!) open by applying to Thomas Jefferson HS for Science and Technology. Either way we pray God will guide her along the twists, turns, failures and successes with grit and grace.
Eli is making his home in the kitchen these days. He mesmerizes me with "Binging with Babish's" cooking videos. We hope to try his carrot cake ice cream sandwich and sour cream donut recipes in the near future! Meanwhile, he's flipping juicy burgers 2 nights a week at the Simpson homestead. In this adventure everybody wins!
