As a fellow side-gig writer who went to school for education and never became a teacher, I really adore this piece 🥹 I’ll never get tired of hearing how the Lord works all things for our good and His glory!

Your words (and piano skills) are beautiful! Also I know have another copy of a beautiful Bible to add to my collection. Because photography + Scripture is my favorite combination. :)

I too have always had a special chair for all of my unnecessary things - and I’m so grateful God meets us there! And thank you for all of these beautiful resources - excited to check them out.

LOVE this story, love this thread, LOVE the unnecessary things! Have thought about that too in relation to writing (and honestly a lot of creativity) so this is beautiful to see it put into words.
