The Hannah Jo Says Adios
What a week <3
To have Hannah visit us these past five days has been nothing short of a sweet blessing. A testimony to the Lord’s kindness and her parents faithfulness, Hannah and her family have encouraged Adam and I maybe more than they know. I can’t think of anything better than watching your own child grow up loving and serving Christ with their life, and yet, it does happen. And Hannah is walking proof. To my own heart, witnessing her transition from child to adult the way that I did was so satisfying and refreshing. It spurred me onward. It strengthened my fight. It dug my roots a little deeper. And it focused me on my greatest task as a mother: to be a constant display of the Gospel to the four children God has entrusted me with. What a task! And praise God, I have faithful women all around me and a dear man of God alongside of me, helping me do just that.

I love you Hannah. And I’m so so so grateful you’d share a bit of your life with me the last few days. Not only am I refreshed by your witness, but I’m also refreshed by the reminiscing of my own heart transformation and testimony through the humble servanthood of your dear family. A sinner like me, rescued by the perfect King of Kings to eternal life through his own death on the cross, paying the penalty to which I was rightfully due. God is real and true and so incredibly awesome. Thank you Lord for my salvation. And thank you Hannah for recalling those very vivid days back to memory. I miss you already, my friend.
