Your story starts today

"All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them." -Walt Disney


We are in total control of our destiny. What you do with opportunities and how you react could be the thing that defines you. Your life is a unique book with intense chapters that tell an amazing story!

I've learned that being still and silent is sometimes the best thing you can do. When we chose to "speak our mind" or not be silent, we hurt those around us almost always. Consistency can sometimes be hard when you are trying to change who you naturally are! It's normal to change and sometimes you change differently from those around you and that's ok!

It's not easy to be courageous because you don't always know your outcome. Fight and dig deep to find the courage to be happy and follow your dreams, in the end it's always worth it. Only you know where you want to be and what you want your life to say of you. Be confident to share your dreams with those around you! Stop standing in the shadows waiting for your dreams to find you... Go pursue them and make your life a priority! At some point you have to stop doing what everyone else wants from you and start worrying about what God wants for you & in many cases what God has promised you. Trust and know that God will guide you in the direction he wants you and each journey brings a new chapter. In the end those who walk away without being proud and supportive of you weren't meant to be a part of your ending, they were only a chapter in your story that helped bring you to where you stand today.

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...
