Lean In | Anna Shaw

Each month, we are going to take time to get to know one of our church members just a little bit better. We hope this short interview allows us to lean-in to help us know one another better and grow together as a body of believers.

TELL US LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

I grew up in Birmingham and lived there until I married by husband Ben. We have two boys, Nolan (3.5) and Rhett (17 months). I am a stay-at-home mom. Recently, I've been making custom sugar cookies as the Bedtime Baker. I really enjoy it! 

CAN YOU SHARE ONE WAY THAT GOD HAS BEEN FAITHFUL TO YOU RECENTLY?

God has brought some wonderful women in my life over the last year. Women that are helping to lead me, love me, speak truth to me, and be with me in this crazy, chaotic, and sometimes all consuming mom-life.

WHAT ARE SOME SMALL THINGS THAT MAKE YOUR DAY BETTER?

Having my bed made makes me so happy! Probably more happy than it should-- ha! 

What’s the farthest you’ve ever been from home?

I've been to London twice on mission trips in high school. The first time was 9th grade, and it was my very first flight.

What do you wish you knew more about?

Photography! I have a nice camera and zero idea how to use it.

What is one of your favorite smells?

I love pretty much anything vanilla scented. 

What movie can you watch over and over without ever getting tired of?

Forrest Gump

NAME THREE THINGS YOU ARE LOVING.

I am loving making cookies, the fact that cooler weather is right around the corner, and rare time with my girlfriends.

WHAT ARE YOU READING OR HAVE YOU RECENTLY READ?

I’m currently reading Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full by Gloria Furman, For the Love by Jen Hatmaker, and Matchmaking for Beginners by Maddie Dawson.
