Don’t Miss a Thing

Instagram with Us

  • Austin is roasting coffee this morning (be ye not deceived: I am only here to take the pictures and drink the coffee) and the whole house smells like a mix of burnt popcorn and coffee (in the good way). Glory to God in the highest, y’all.
  • Friends, I’m so exited to share this event with you! ✨ On October 6th I have the privilege of teaching through Philippians chapter one as we explore the topic of spiritual friendships. This event is being hosted by my home church, Grace Fellowship Church in Kinston and is open to any and everyone - and I’d love for you to join me there! The cost is just $10 and includes Chick-fil-A for lunch (which is basically chicken gold 🍗💰). You can register at the link in my bio! Questions? Ask in the comments! 👇🏼
  • It’s this beautiful human’s birthday. He is kind and talented and content and patient. I love being around him and could talk to him all day long (apparently even when the power is out and we’re just really sweaty). I love that he is ceremonial for me and liturgical for us. He’s grown so much this last year, and I’m so proud of him. Happy 33rd, Austin! You give me so much joy.
  • We’ve been sitting in the dark a lot and kept company but this little vintage radio that powers up by hand crank. We’ve sweat and talked and slept until the rain let up and we could go outside. It was like an unplanned neighborhood gathering and each homeowner surveyed their property, making their way over to each other to ask after any damage done. Jesus’ words about loving our neighbors are ringing in my ears. And so is the rich man’s response: “But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbor?’” We are not a neighborly kind. We are naturally bent inward. We are selfish and scared and self-protecting. And so when Jesus says to love our neighbors and gestures far and wide in definition, we put our hand up. We stop him right there and ask him to detail for us who exactly we’re to love like that. His call to love all men as we love ourselves is a daunting task and an overwhelming mission. But, by His grace, we can start right here. On our lawns, with rakes and cups of coffee and muffins. When we wonder how we will love the world-wide community of neighbors God has called us to, we can always start with the ones He has placed right next door.
  • We’re sitting the dark and sweaty aftermath of #hurricaneflorence. Our home, by God’s grace, was not significantly damaged and other than some sweaty nights of sleep I know we will fare just fine. Thanks to so many for your prayers. Please continue to pray that we would love our neighbors as we love ourselves (including each other), pray for those preparing for the record flooding likely ahead, the local and visiting utility teams who are working dangerous and demanding jobs throughout the day and night, and for those who are scared when they see the grocery store shelves empty and gas stations closed. And please pray for the local church - pray that we would open our doors wide, wide, wide to those craving a safe space, warm meal, and the comfort of prayer. We have such an opportunity to get to know our neighbors in real time, and to meet people where they are frightened, hurting, or alone. It’s an opportunity the world can not afford us to miss. 🧡
  • #hurricaneflorence has been our reminder around here hat Jesus calls us to our neighborhoods and to our neighbors. When He put us in the homes He did, in the neighborhoods He did, He didn’t get the address wrong. This storm is my reminder that I am my brother’s and sister’s and neighbor’s keeper. I’m well aware (as we often are in seasons of our financial life) that payday is Saturday and the storm will likely hit Friday. So this morning we’re baking bread to spare. Because God has this habit of providing for those made in His image through His people’s hands and homes, we want to prepare - not just for our own protection and provision, but to partner with God in the work He is readying us to do.
