We sat at the kitchen table sipping coffee and eating breakfast. Our daughter has been homeschooled through junior high, and our visiting friends were talking to her about starting 9th grade this fall at our public high school.
Our friend, Mark, told us the story of when he was in college. He said that his college was ranked the number three party school in the U.S. by Playboy magazine. He continued on, explaining that one night at this very school, he had a life-changing experience: He went to an outing with a friend and came to know Jesus Christ. He learned that he was in need of a Savior, and Mark has never been the same since. He later married Pam, had children, and has served as a missionary Bible translator in Nigeria for about two decades.
Mark explained to our daughter, “You will find whatever you are looking for as you enter public school. I was at a school with a nationwide reputation for partying, and I found Jesus. If you’re looking for Him and like-minded people who love Him, you’ll find it. If you’re looking for the party scene, you’ll find it. Decide ahead of time what you will look for.”
Great words of wisdom for all of us. What are you looking for?
COFFEE WITH CHRISTINE 
I’m looking for a moment to breathe! LOL… Seriously, I am looking for every opportunity to share with my children the love of Christ and to share with them the value of a person’t worldview.
Me too! Taxi mom is back in business….summer is over. Thanks for reading and for the laugh~

That’s awesome! God shows up even in the darkest of places!
