Two Hearts That Beat As One

I hate to write a cheesy, mushy, lovey-dovey blog..... No wait actually I LOVE IT!! I married the most dashingly handsome man 6 years ago! He was my first love and I fall deeper in love everyday, or maybe I should say he has been and will always be my only love. I have never experienced a passionate love for anyone else because he has given me more than I even thought it ever was. He provides all I need and more. He cares for me in ways I never thought possible. Michael Patterson is the very epitome of a husband, he's my best friend and my partner. We haven't long been on our newest journey and we are blessed with every continued step!

He is the most amazing father to my boys! Corban loves going to work with daddy and I know Logan will too. I love watching Corban pray because I know that's his daddy coming out in him! I catch him preaching to his stuffed animals sometimes or even Logan :) After a busy day of meetings, visitations, errands etc. he comes home to play cars in the floor with Corban or go to the grocery store with me. I say all this to say he lights up my life & he is the best thing that could've happened to me.

It's funny how you go through things in life and then at the right time you meet some one with a similar set of circumstances that you bond with. So, when I was 16 and my sister in law took me to a conference at the church she grew up in.... I never knew I would meet Michael Patterson and that 4 years later he would be my husband and then 5 years later we would together be Pastoring that same church! I love how God shows us that he is in control and has our best interest at heart!

I Love You Michael Patterson

Much Love To My Readers For Enduring The Much :)

Fathomless Billows Of Love

On this day 12 years ago I lost my brother. I remember the sound of the voice on the other side of the phone telling us to come to the hospital. I remember being cold. I remember the sounds of the chaos around me. I remember the chair I sat in as I watched my mom try to be strong. I remember so many little details but mainly I remember the giant hole it left in my heart! Nothing can ever separate us from [God's] love . ... I remember singing Peace, peace, wonderful peace, Coming down from the Father above! Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray In fathomless billows of love! What does "Fathomless billows of love" even mean Fathomless means something that can't be understood; a billow is like a cloud swelling because of a sudden surge. So...... as many times as I questioned God's presence, his love never failed. It comes in waves and blows into my soul in a way that I can't understand. It soothes just when I can't handle another blow. It embraces me when...

To Be A Pillar

It's easy to be weak but it's hard to be strong! What do you want your life to say about you? "The wise woman builds not only for herself but for those who follow along behind her." -Joy Haney You have to confidently know that God will fulfill every promise he has every made to you & trust that it will happen in his timing. It's when we get impatient and want it our way that we become weak and fall short. God has called each of us to be a servant in his kingdom and sometimes we get caught up and forget its not about me or you! Its always about the kingdom, you can't serve people and bring them to the kingdom without being a people person or without being about His business! If the world can't see Jesus in you and through you why would they want it? Sometimes by being still and silent you are standing tall & speaking loud! It is ignorant and careless to share every thought and opinion that we have. Think before you speak, blog, tweet or text!!...

The Young Minister's Wife, So Harshly Judged

A life lesson I had to learn the hard way was: IT'S OK TO SAY "NO" I am not backslid or a stuck up snob if I can't attend every Ladies Meeting and Youth Event in Georgia. At the stage of life I'm in, I have 2 small boys who need and deserve the majority of my time. Not to mention I am a Pastor's Wife/Music Director. They always come first and that sometimes means I have to decline an invitation. It's unfortunate that it is said "She uses her kids as a crutch" or "She isn't in the altar praying for everyone, she's just in the back socializing" If you could really understand what a Ministers Wife with small children truly has to conquer in order to just be at an event we would give them gold stars and nothing but praise every chance we get. I don't think we should walk on egg shells or take on more than we can handle because we are afraid of what everyone else thinks about us sitting with our children instea...
