I can tell we are going to be great friends!

Yes, you…the one looking for encouragement, support, and ways to see Jesus in our daily routines.

I am totally with you in this search my friends. It is a privilege to meet you as we take a Jesus-journey together.

My name is Shelly Hollis, originally from small-town Illinois and transplanted to even smaller town Alabama when I was 9…raised most of my life in single-wide trailers…with 6 siblings. I come from humble beginnings and it made me a stronger person.

I am married to an amazing man who I claimed as my future husband on our second date. Thirty-two years later, we have two adult children and four adorable grandchildren.

I am a teacher to my very core – I’ve taught all kinds of 7th-12th grade science. I’ve directed a math/science program at UNA, worked at the district office level as curriculum & instruction specialist, and have been an education consultant.  I currently serve Highland Baptist Church as Director of Discipleship and Education.  My passion is teaching God’s Word. And when God puts a burning message in my heart, I am compelled by Him to write it down!

The thing is this…God won’t let me write it down and publish any message on my blog until I am living it out in my personal life. He is funny like that. God wants those who claim the excellent name of Jesus to live a life of integrity.

Not that I am living it out perfectly – oh no. But by His amazing grace, my heart stays humble and ready to learn.

Yep…I already like you! And I would count it a privilege to walk out this crazy, exciting, Jesus-journey together.
