Welcome!

Hey there! My name is Savannah. I am a child of God, a servant of the King, and a college graduate who is excited about God using me in children's ministry.  My story can be found in the about section of this blog, but here are a few fun facts about me:


  • I am a graduate of Biola University (Go eagles!)
  • I have known since middle school that children's ministry was where God wanted me to go
  • I love Broadway, Disneyland, and teaching the Bible to excited kids

So what's the purpose of this blog? Ministry is exhausting. It is draining to have a job where you pour your heart into every activity you do. The weeks can be filled with editing curriculum, talking to disgruntled parents, leading staff meetings, all while trying to remain deeply rooted in Christ's love and grace. However, the most challenging day comes on Sunday. It doesn't matter how much you prepared for Sunday during the week. Sundays are always crazy. Anyone in ministry can tell you that by the time Sunday morning ends, it is time for a loooong nap. If you're reading this blog and you are in full time ministry, I sincerely hope that you have Mondays off. It takes a full day to recover after the busyness of Sunday morning. When I get home from church on Sundays, I like to take a full 24 hours to refresh myself in the Word and reflect on what happened Sunday. 

This blog is about that. It is about the Mondays after ministry days. It is a reflection on the successes and failures of Sunday morning, the moments of grace and the God moments of the morning. I would love to hear your comments. I am doing this whole ministry thing and figuring it out and learning new things every week. I am far from perfect, but God has been so good to me in my life and ministry, and I can't wait to share that with you!
