Isaiah 45:8 says, “You heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the Lord, have created it.” Sometimes the rain makes me grumpy. I admit it. All the times I have heard people say, “April […]
Death Is Just A Doorway
August 27, 2022 marked the one year anniversary that my momma went to her eternal home. I miss her. There are so many things that remind me of her. Silly little things to great big important ones. There are things about myself that I never knew took after her. I cook because we have to […]
Do I Need to Eat Soap
I grew up in a home where bad words were not what I would call bad. My mother’s favorite bad word was “Foot”. Literally, she would say, “Oh Foot”, when she was frustrated or angry. So you may understand why then, if I said cr#$, or dan% it, I would get the look. (Just so […]
What The World Needs
This last week I was blessed enough to go to camp as a counselor for girls aged 14-18. We have a theme each year that usually has to do with building the girls up. We try to help them see their worth in Jesus and that they are loved, worthy, and beautiful, just the way […]
Redeemed
I’m sitting here thinking about redemption. Jeremiah 29:11 has for many years been my favorite verse. I very rarely read the next three with it. Starting at verse 12, Then you will call on Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.13, You will seek Me and find Me when […]
Where Does My Help Come From
It is sometimes odd to me that I am surprised by the fact that God moves. He answers prayers, He guides us along our paths, He comforts, He disciplines, He affirms, and He protects. I could go on, but you get the idea. These are things that shouldn’t surprise me. I know these attributes of […]
Blessed and Grateful
I love the song, “The Blessing”. I am in awe of the fact that I have seen it play out and I have faith that I will get to watch it continue. My Pappaw and Mammaw had three children. Through those three, God blessed them with nine grandchildren, twenty-one great grandchildren, and nine great great […]
I Watched a Movie
My husband Kirk and I sometimes have a competition. We see who can pick the stupidest movie. We call it “Stupid Movie Night”. Pretty original, don’t ya think? At the end of each one, we will either say, “I win”, or “you win”. It is our way of watching something without having to think. There […]
Jesus Came With His Name
Jesus Came With His Name, Just Like a Cabbage Patch Doll. The holiday season has arrived once again and Christmas is almost here. I don’t know about you, but I sometimes get grumpy this time of year. Christmas feels so commercialized and centered around all the wrong things. As I was growing up, Christmas was […]
