"Stop hoping and start hoping!" - Dr. John Avant My pastor shared this point two weeks ago in his message about God's song for our country. His point was addressing the fact that we need to stop placing our hope in man and ultimately place it in the Lord as the only source for turning… Continue reading Something More

It’s Our Problem
I'll be honest, I want to look the other way. I want to hide under my pillow. I want to close my eyes because I do not have the answers to what is happening in our country. This isn't something that you can slap an "this is the end times" band-aid on ... that works… Continue reading It’s Our Problem
Not the Norm
"Your dad is rare." A few weeks ago, I was talking to a counseling friend from my church who's husband is on staff. As a mom of two little ones, she was asking me about my experience growing up in the ministry and how I handled knowing that church often took precedence in my dad's… Continue reading Not the Norm
When Good Intentions Are Wrong: Part 2
So maybe this is more of an update than a part two but you all should know that I am still on Christian Mingle. However, my whole outlook has completely changed in the past week. I'm not looking to find someone instead it has actually been more about getting myself out of my comfort zone… Continue reading When Good Intentions Are Wrong: Part 2
When Good Intentions Are Wrong
"The path to hell is lined with good intentions." That's the statement a friend of mine made to me a little while ago today when I asked him on how you know the difference of walking in the flesh and walking in the Spirit? I shared that it's not my desire to walk in the… Continue reading When Good Intentions Are Wrong
Confession …
They say (whoever, they are) confession is good for the soul. Well here it goes ... I am not perfect. It's ok to be appalled now and that shift you just felt in the atmosphere was the Earth coming to a halt at that revelation 🙂 I am and always have been the first to… Continue reading Confession …
How Not to Be Creepy on Christian Mingle
Yes, I took the plunge again and got back into the online dating world this past week. Honestly, I have no expectations this time except to get a few laughs. Two years ago when I joined I was desperate to find a date to one of my guy friend's weddings. I was in a place… Continue reading How Not to Be Creepy on Christian Mingle
Blessed
My senior year of High School redeemed the hard, lonely years of Middle School and 9th-11th grade. Even in a Christian School, I had to take a stand for Christ and hold firm on personal convictions from time to time. I'm not sure that anyone besides my family knew how alone I really was but… Continue reading Blessed
The Songs We Don’t Sing Anymore
I love music as it wraps itself around my heart and stirs emotions inside of me that, sometimes, I didn't even know I had. But more than anything I love Christ-centered music. It speaks to my soul like nothing else can. And if music is going to have the kind of effect on me like… Continue reading The Songs We Don’t Sing Anymore
To Pee or Not to Pee
That does appear to be the question ... at least it is here in the state of TN. I am not a "boycotter" by nature. Back in the 90s, when Christians were boycotting Disney our family went to Disney World while in Orlando for the Southern Baptist Convention. I still drink Starbucks coffee and I'll… Continue reading To Pee or Not to Pee
