When I was a little girl, I had two baby dolls and they were named “Darlin’ and Sweet Darlin’”. They were my babies. If you asked me what I was going to be when I grew up I would have probably told you either a mama or a singer. Then on some days… Continue reading Single in the Church

The Song in the Night
As the smoke literally dissipated throughout Knoxville last night and the sun rose, I had one song lyric running through my mind before I ever looked at my phone to see who won the presidential election. My hope is in the name of the Lord. As I read the results and was absolutely stunned by what… Continue reading The Song in the Night
Season of Thanks: A Prayer and Two Dreams
In honor of Dr. Billy Graham's 98th birthday today, I am sharing the prayer/poem that his wife Ruth Bell Graham wrote in her teens about the man she hoped to marry someday. The Man I Prayed For Dear God, I prayed, all unafraid (as we’re inclined to do), I do not need a handsome man… Continue reading Season of Thanks: A Prayer and Two Dreams
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
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
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
