I married a guy I met in a nightclub 18 days earlier. I would never do that in my 40s, but grace has a way of meeting us even in the stories we would never repeat.

Ilonka’s first time leading worship involved a miniskirt, Hustler heels, and a very gracious church lady saying, “You must be new to Jesus.” A funny, honest story about growing in real time, questionable wardrobe choices, and the grace of a God who doesn’t wait for us to get it all right.
