Visiting the golden child this past weekend for his birthday at #BethelCollege with hubby and the girls 💛 As my son proudly showed us around campus, we wandered into a building (the name escapes me now) and met this amazing soul—X (we’ll call him that for short). In the center of the room sat a piano. My husband, who barely plays, decided to give it a try. What started as playful notes turned into a spontaneous moment of worship, then into a quick piano lesson 🙌

While the kids ran around—playing volleyball, basketball, laughing—it hit me how unscripted and beautiful our lives truly are. God has a way of showing up even in the simplest, most ordinary moments. #ButGodUnscripted #SheIsSent #UnscriptedMoments #GratefulHeart
