October starts in a GREAT way!

We made a trip back to Tullahoma last weekend:) One of my good friends there had decided to be baptized. I studied the book of Mark with Tawna for about a year and she texted me a few weeks ago and said she decided to be baptized and wanted me to be there! This was of course the best news EVER and so the whole family decided to make the trip. Andrea A., Kathy B, Corynn and I were all able to get in the water with her as Steven baptized her! This was such a special moment.
Tawna is so special to me. One, because she is the first person I studied with who decided to become a disciple, and two, she has become such a good friend to me, and my family. I admire her so much. Perseverance is one of the first words that comes to mind when I think of her. She has not had a easy road in life and still, she persists, she pushes on. Her heart is tender toward God and she is fiercely protective of those she loves. Her smile is so contagious, even though she covers it up with her hands for fear someone might be looking. She is a great listener and seems to always see the best in people. God has done so much through her already and he is going to do even more amazing things as she matures as His disciple!

We stayed with the Abrahams clan. It did our hearts so much good to be with them and to see our church family in Tullahoma! I was sure to take a few pictures:)


We just chilled most of the day Saturday! We had fall crafts, book reading, coffee drinking, and yummy food! Sorry about your eyes being shut in one of the pics Andi:( Eden looks thrilled in that last pictures doesn't she?:)
