Bang On The Drum

This has been an exciting month for our family. God has answered our prayers and Kevin is now the newest employee at Memphis Drum Shop.


Prior to landing his dream job he was moving furniture and handling collections for a rent to own company in Memphis. The job he had was extremely stressful and physically demanding. Kevin has ankylosing spondylitis which is a long-term disease that causes inflammation of the joints between the spinal bones, and the joints between the spine and pelvis. It's very painful and the stress of his previous job exacerbated his condition. The job required 10-12 hours a day, 5 days a week. Some days he would only be able to spend 15 minutes with our kids before they had to go off to bed. We were never able to eat dinner together as a family, Kevin was unable to commit to his band and practice, and the thought of church on Wednesday nights seemed completely unattainable. All that has changed now!

Kevin absolutely loves his new position. Our family eats dinner together every night. (which sometimes isn't all that great cause I'm the one cooking) :) The band is back in action and looking for a singer and Kevin is so thrilled to be doing what he loves.

The people he works for are down to earth and passionate about the work they do. Memphis Drum Shop has always been a treasure in our eyes. We had the pleasure of taking our engagement photos there last year and we absolutely loved how they turned out. If you've never been there, you should go! Even if you're not a musician the store is beautiful and truly a sight to see.





I want to thank our friends and family who prayed for Kevin about his new job. Without the love and support of you all, and the blessings of the Lord, we would be lost.

If ever anyone deserved to be in a position they love it's Kevin. He has been, and continues to be, such an amazing husband and father and I'm so thankful that he now has a job he loves...
