Today I had the privilege of watching my wonderful husband and my first born lead worship at our church's satellite campus. What a joy and blessing to watch my gorgeous daughter use her gifts to honor God and bless others in worship. I am so unbelievably proud of her! I believe one of the … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day

The Key to Happiness
Lately, I have been seeing posts about "happiness" and how to achieve it. And, it was one of my goals for 2019, to be a "happier" person. It's not that I'm an unhappy person, but sometimes anxiety and life in general can certainly feel like it has zapped my happiness. A Google search of "how to … Continue reading The Key to Happiness

The Owl Among Us
Several years ago I accompanied my second grader on a field trip to Salato Wildlife Center in Frankfort, KY. We went into a classroom to see "Birds of Prey" up close. One of the birds they brought in was a gorgeous Great Horned Owl. The handler began describing the characteristics of this amazing creature. He … Continue reading The Owl Among Us
Under Construction
Have you ever walked through a house that wasn't complete yet, only framed with beams? I'm not a person who can visualize the finished product. As we were walking thorough a friend's house once, he was pointing to each area and informing us what would eventually be each room. He knew every detail of this … Continue reading Under Construction
With Empty Hands
Yesterday I had the song, "With Lifted Hands", by Ryan Stevenson, stuck in my head. But it wasn't until mid-morning that I realized I had it wrong! I was singing "with EMPTY hands" rather than "with LIFTED hands". But then I realized, sometimes that is all I can offer God- empty hands. Dear Ones, I … Continue reading With Empty Hands
Mirror Mirror on the Wall: Embracing Your God Given Beauty

Even though I grew up watching princesses, I didn't think about beauty much. I guess it was around middle school when I … Continue reading Mirror Mirror on the Wall: Embracing Your God Given Beauty
Bearing Fruit in Times of Drought
I planted Stargazer lily bulbs two years ago. I was so excited, yet nervous. I love the idea of gardening, however, I did not inherit my father's green thumb! I usually kill every thing. So, needless to say, when summer came around and I had no lilies I wasn't that surprised. Disappointed, but not really … Continue reading Bearing Fruit in Times of Drought
The Promise of Spring
I hate winter. I don't like to be cold, and it seems winter in Kentucky is basically the rainy season with temperatures in the upper 30's to mid 40's. It's yucky! I was born to be in the sun. So, when I looked out my kitchen window this morning to see my neighbor's tree with … Continue reading The Promise of Spring
When You Feel God is Silent
I began reading one of the Old Testament books, Habakkuk, yesterday and the Prophet begins chapter 1 by saying, "How long, O Lord, am I to cry for help, but you will not listen?" Have you ever felt like that? I have many times. I have felt that God has turned a deaf ear to … Continue reading When You Feel God is Silent
