Honey, Make Life Prettier
My life has gone through so much change in the last 8 years, but especially in the past year. God has been doing a work in me and preparing me for something, but I never could pin point exactly what it was to be. God is humorous like that….He gives us one piece at a…

A Summer to Remember
This past summer has felt like a tapestry woven with music, milestones, and memories I’ll hold close for a lifetime. Looking back, June and July were filled with moments so rich that even now I find myself smiling as I think of them. A Night with Andrea Bocelli In June, I had the privilege of…

“5 Days, 2 Sisters, and a Smoky Mountain Escape”
There’s something about a sister road trip that hits different—part chaos (in the good sense), part therapy, and all heart. This summer, my sister and I set off on a five-day adventure to the Smoky Mountains, just the two of us, with snacks in the back seat and Christian music on the radio with a…

When Jesus Became More Than a Name to Me
For years, I knew about Jesus. I could quote scriptures, sing the songs, attend the services, and even say all the right prayers. But I was missing something deeply personal — something I didn’t even realize I was created for. I was missing intimacy with Him. Not the kind that’s spoken of in lofty theological…

Life is like a puzzle….it comes together one piece at a time.
I have come to realize why I don’t always keep up with this blog. It’s not always about not having time, sometimes it is just because I run out of things to write about! I don’t know what that really says about me if I’m being perfectly honest. I know I’m not boring, nor does…

I’m Gonna Be 50!!!!! My plans were not His plans.
It is unbelievable as I type that statement! “I am going to be 50 years old!” Not that I ever watched Saturday Night Live growing up, but I believe everyone has seen the Sally O’Malley skit at some point in their lives. As I look at that number—50—I can hear her voice distinctly. “I can…

It’s time to make a list and check it twice—gotta find out if I’m naughty or nice.
I’m sure that as you read that title, you were automatically thinking that this might be another Christmas post. As much as I wish it were, I am sorry to disappoint all of you Christmas lovers. This is not a Christmas post but a Christian post. As Christians, we are called to forgive and to…

Do I Have To?!?!?!
(WARNING—Major photo dump in this post.) It is January 22nd!!!! Is Christmas REALLY over? I mean after all, we just had a massive “snow-mageddon” here in Deep South Louisiana. To me that still screams Christmas. When I say that I have been praying for a White Christmas….I am not exaggerating in any way. We have…

Stick-ability and No Excuses!
“My dog ate my homework.” “I forgot to set my alarm.” “I thought it was Saturday, not Monday.” How many excuses have we heard or have given in a lifetime? I really have no excuse as to why I have not posted in quite sometime. I can use the most popular excuse everyone normally uses—“life…

Run To The Mountains
The Bible tells us that Jesus went to the mountains many times to speak with His Father. We hear of so many running to the mountains to commune with God. For many of us, we turn to our prayer closets or those quiet places where we can commune with God…we can’t all run to the…
