Hello and welcome to the She Readstreet Podcast where we open our

Bibles and talk about the beauty, goodness and truth we find there.

I'm your host Rachel Myers and I'm your other host Amanda Bible Williams and

today our special guest is Jessica Lamb. Jessica is the managing editor here at She

Readstreet and she is a woman who loves God's Word, knows a lot about God's Word and

has a hand in every reading plan we create. This is a fantastic conversation with

our friend Jessica. We think you're gonna love it. Let's go.

So Jessica, your children are marvels. They are both pretty unique kids but

especially your daughter, Evie, she just turned four. Is that right?

She just turned four. Okay tell tell our people what she asked for for her birthday.

Yes. Evie desperately wanted a pencil sharpener. She was given several

pencils for Valentine's Day. Not a frozen wig. Not a frozen wig. She already has a

frozen dress but yes, not a frozen wig. She wanted a pencil sharpener because she

has many unsharpened pencils and she wants to be able to use them. I think that is so

precious. I feel like that's her. And it's not even like one outlying situation like

that summarizes that kid. Which I love. Well and also I thought you meant not one

outlying situation. The pencils mean sharpening like this is an ongoing problem.

And if you give me my own. I won't be able to resolve this problem on my own from

here. I think she's that kind of kid, right? She's like, listen, I've thought about this.

Absolutely. Here's what I need. Yes. And for her birthday, she didn't want you to sharpen

all her pencils. No, no, no, no. This is an independent situation. She wants to sharpen

pencils. And she mentioned it once when she had some colored pencils that needed sharpening.
