The Carpenter's Daughter

He builds furniture. She used to lead worship.
Neither of them is looking for love.

Jonah Reeves opens his woodshop at 5:47 every
morning. Same time as always. Same sawdust, same
silence, same half-finished furniture waiting for
a focus he can't find. Three years after losing his
wife, he's still building things - just not a life.

Lena Morrow came to Millbrook for one reason: to
stop. Ten years of leading worship, serving everyone,
saying yes to everything - until her body and mind
said no for her. She doesn't need a calling. She
just needs to breathe.

What she finds is a woodshop in chaos, a carpenter
who's forgotten how to ask for help, and a
fifteen-year-old girl who draws her mother's face
because she's terrified of forgetting it.

Old grief and old wounds don't step aside just
because you've met the right person. But sometimes
God doesn't wait for you to be ready before He
starts building something new.

"For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ
Jesus to do good works." - Ephesians 2:10

The most beautiful things are built from broken
pieces - but only if you're willing to let someone
hold the other end.
