A few Sundays ago, I had the opportunity to share my testimony with the High School girls in my church. What's so spectacular about my testimony? Well, I was a sinner and Christ saved me. It doesn't get any better than that! Seriously, that's the best testimony and we all can share that if we… Continue reading My Own Fight for Freedom

Church Members: Which One Are You?
In March of 2007, I came home to Knoxville from a week in Oklahoma City, where I had been visiting my aunt and uncle. My parents picked me up from the airport and I had an hour to repack my bag before we headed to Morristown, TN for the night as my dad would be… Continue reading Church Members: Which One Are You?
Season of Thanks: A Letter
To Whom It May Concern: Ha ... that's a little formal sounding coming from me but I did something different this time and decided to write to you, my dear husband, on my blog versus in the journal that has been set aside for your eyes only. (And I am saving my special term of… Continue reading Season of Thanks: A Letter
Lady Edith and I
"Where one story ends another begins." I knew something was coming as I could sense I would be sharing this story for several weeks now but I couldn't imagine how I would be telling it nor how I was to be this open with everyone, therefore, I chose to keep my mouth shut and not… Continue reading Lady Edith and I
It Is What It Is
"It is what it is." This is one of my most favorite statements to proclaim when things are not going my way, seem to be spiraling out of control or my presupposed plan has to be completely altered. It simply is what it is. You've just got to roll with the punches and go with the flow. I've… Continue reading It Is What It Is
Trust the Process
“Trust the process. God hasn’t brought you this far to suck the wind out of your sails.” These were the words I tapped out in a quick reply text to a friend a few weeks ago as she begged me for prayers over a situation that she was guaranteed wouldn’t be a problem. I wasn’t… Continue reading Trust the Process
Not Now Mingle
I pretty much have come to the conclusion that I am screwed up. Ha! Well, I mean we all are in some way or another but having never really dated I don’t know how to relax and just enjoy the process. I question everything I say and do and figure it’s probably the wrong thing anyway.… Continue reading Not Now Mingle
Transitions
"Life is one big transition." Willie Stargell The last few weeks the idea of transition has been heavy of my heart. I have thought about friends and loved ones transitioning from this earthly life to their eternal life as well as those who are left to find their new norm without this precious loved one… Continue reading Transitions
Something More
"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
