Friends, I want to share this post today from the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship blog by my wise and gifted pastor friend Rev. Danielle Glaze. We met in Wilmington years ago when our kids were little-ish. I have never had a conversation with or heard a sermon or teaching from Danielle that wasn’t rich with wisdom, insight, and both passion and compassion.

I had lunch with Danielle a couple of weeks ago, our first in person, one-on-one time since my family moved back to NC last January after six years away. We huddled close around a small table at The Peach House in Kinston, NC, a cute, local restaurant (highly recommend!) about halfway between where we each live. Every bite, every laugh, every story fed my soul.

Our lives have both changed so much since we first met! Danielle now pastors First Baptist Church of Teachey, NC. I serve as Minister of Missions at Oakmont Baptist in Grenville, NC. Our kids are older: hers now both young adults gainfully employed (woohooo!) and my three young adults either entering, in the middle of, or about to graduate college (hopefully with gainful employment on the near horizon!).

God has been hard at work shaping us, working in, through around, and sometimes in spite of us. We are both same and different. And Danielle is still full of wisdom. How grateful I am for her.
