ABOUT ME

I'm Michelle Joy Waters. After binge watching Army Wives on Netflix—and loving Claudia Joy Holden—I decided I needed to start adding my middle name to everything.

 

I'm married to a pastor. We have six kids. We homeschooled them for 10 years before moving to the Bible Belt and accepting public school as a viable choice. I love most things about home education and some things about public school. Every day is a journey and we're taking it one year at a time.

 

I'm a pastor too. I just retired very, very early. 

​

I met my husband at Dartmouth College. I played Ice Hockey. He was in Theater and an Acapella group. (Think: The Dartmouth Aires on the Sing Off. Amazing). We were not a match made in heaven: he wasn't even a believer when we met. Long story short, through prayer and the ministry of the Navigators, (and a long and lonely tent stay for him in Siberia), he became a Christian. The rest is history. 

​

We went together to Yale Divinity School, studying Greek, Hebrew, and Homiletics in a tiny apartment while we enjoyed walking to Romeo and Giuseppe's for fresh basil and mozzarella and making our own home made pasta served by candlelight. 

​

Six states, four houses, three churches, and six children later...  It's been quite a ride.
