It occurs to me that so much of our lives are spent chasing. We chase things like control, approval, success, admiration, or even love. But, try as we might, the goal is often just beyond our reach. In all of the things we chase, it is God who is chasing us. This podcast is designed to build community through conversations with friends who share stories of being caught by the God who pursues us all.

    CD03 - Elizabeth Hostin

    Friends, I’m so excited to share this episode with you today.  My guest is Elizabeth Hostin.  She’s a “who’s who” of educators in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.  Elizabeth has made education her life’s work and with over 40 years in the business, she has a wealth of knowledge to share.  She’s a wife, mother, and grandmother.  She has either taught and/or been a principal for each educational phase from elementary, intermediate, middle, high school and even college.  She loves Jesus and brings wisdom, empowerment, and purpose to every room she enters.  You’ll be blessed to hear her share what pulled her into the field of education and what to “major in” for each stage of development.  Elizabeth gives us practical tips on embracing the gifts of the child you are raising and how to fight some of the destructive cultural norms today’s families are facing.

    CD01 - Sue Scheele, Part 1

    Welcome to the very first episode of the Chasing Dragonflies podcast!  Friends, this is not a podcast about insects.  Instead, the title comes from the word picture of observing my 2 Labrador Retrievers chasing dragonflies in my Texas backyard in the middle of the summer heat.  These dogs grunt, groan, whine, and dance.  They run, jump, leap, and reach with all their might to secure a dragonfly feast but have yet to conquer their mission- even at times accidently landing in the swimming pool.  It reminds me of all the striving we do as mothers and as humans to achieve things we are perpetually outmatched for.  In all the things we chase, it is God who is chasing us.  This podcast is designed to encourage, uplift, and come alongside moms at all of the places of the journey.    Today you’ll meet my dear friend, Sue Scheele. Sue is the owner of Ava’s Bridal Couture, the largest bridal salon in Fort Worth, Texas.  Her business was voted “Best of Weddings Hall of Fame” by TheKnot.com. Sue honors brides by providing an appointment-only, personalized, and private VIP setting.  With in-house alternations available, her service is 2nd to none.      In this episode, Sue shares the path to discovering her gift of sewing and design, and how she approaches passing on this same blessing as she encourages her own children to begin to recognize their God-given talents.  I think you’ll find this discussion both heart-warming and inspiring.     Check out Sue’s website:   www.avasbridalcouture.com    Sue can also be found on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube by searching her handle “avasbridalcouture.”
