GIVING GOD GLORY IN THE DAILY GRIND OF LIFE

Hi, I’m Anne.

In addition to being a certifiable coffee addict, I am a writer, speaker, pastor’s wife, and adoptive mother of two. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Creative Writing with a concentration in non-fiction. I am an imperfect woman living for a perfect God.

My purpose and passion are to make God famous through the humble lessons found in life’s daily grind.

I write for an audience of One. God has given me this gift and I am blessed to use it for His purpose and glory. For me, writing is a ministry, not a career. My prayer for this blog, and for all my work, is that He will be made famous as my audience and platform grow. To anyone led to read and follow the words I put out there, I hope you're encouraged. I hope you laugh. I hope you feel seen, known, and understood. I hope you find God in the daily grind.

Our God is a good Shepherd. When we stray from Him, He pursues us relentlessly. He does not give up until He’s found us again. We are that valuable to Him. This is how we are to value others. This is how we are to be kingdom-minded. Every lost soul is one God can save. No one is too far gone. May we passionately pursue others with the same commitment that Christ pursues us.

I’m not sure of their origin, but every Christmas as far back as I can remember, we hung a rustic leather strap of brass sleigh bells from the doorknob of our home. Their melodious jingle told of everyone’s coming and going all season long. To me, it was the sound of Christmas.
