Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter. Thanks for joining. I am in the podcast studio with Gigi Hornberger.

Hey, Emma. Glad to be here. I am so glad you're here. You wrote today's Devo, and you were also my first boss at Watermark when

I came through the Institute. Yes, and you did a phenomenal job on our team. Well, thank you.

Loved having you. You saw me when I was fresh. You were fresh, but you were wise beyond your

years, even back then. Well, thank you. I think you are very wise, and I would love for the listeners to just hear a little bit about

you, how you came to Watermark, what you're up to these days.

All right.

My family came to Watermark.

It's been 18 years now.

So we came 18 years ago, and I've been involved in the women's Bible study here for the last

eight years. And so my family is, I'm married to Willie, and we have three kids, Jake,

Allie, and Claire. And we have recently added tremendous people, Whitney and James. And so we have a lot of fun

together. It was so much fun. And Jiji, I'm just so grateful for your investment in my life and all the

women, you get to Latin Women's Bible Study. And so one, thank you. But I would love, I know we've got a lot

of content today, Philippians 4, what you got for us? Oh, just, I learn something new every time I

open it. So as I focused on writing the divo, I kind of went a different direction, which was

learning and practicing peace and contentment. And then just recently, as I have looked

over it again, I was really focusing on that piece, the peace that can be ours when we fix

our gaze on Jesus. And that peace and contentment idea, it's repeated all through the chapter.

And you look at verses six and seven and nine and eleven and twelve. Paul really is teaching

us how to live that peaceful and contented life. Which is so important.

So important.
