HIS little Schoolhouse on the prayery - Melanie Champion

Welcome to my conversation with Melanie Champion as she shares all the beautiful ways God led the way to our beloved little schoolhouse on the prairie that was an absolute answer to so many prayers of us parents. Such a cool to take a moment to look back to many pieces of life that He worked through to create the timing, space, community, support, encouragement, surrendered hearts, trust and faith that it took to say "Yes, Lord" to His plan of His little schoolhouse that is now Champion Schoolhouse Academy. I am so glad you're here! What's for dinner? She doesn't know... maybe cheese and crackers?? Maybe steak??
