Sunshine brings Happiness

You've heard all the quotes...

"Spring Is Coming"

"You Are My Sunshine On A Cloudy Day"

"You Make Me Happy When Skies Are Gray"

Sunshine is a universal sign of happiness!

I want to be someone's sunshine. I want to do good. I never want it said of me that I took Joy away or caused heartache. I love to be involved & work for the Church in any way I can.

It's easy to fall & make mistakes.

After all, we are human!

The important thing is that we pick ourselves up & keep moving forward.

I am naturally a shy person. I don't have a big voice or personality. So, because of that I can get ran over or pushed around. I have great ideas but most of the time I don't initiate them because I have a hard time expressing them in a way that lets others see their greatness!

I say all that to say.... I'm normal & probably just like you. Don't let anyone make you feel inadequate or worthless because your personality doesn't fill the room like theirs. You are important and if you want to do or be involved, don't let someone's negative actions towards you stop that... You will be the one to miss out on a blessing.

I've learned so much from having the privilege to work with teenage girls! Mostly, I've learned we all have insecurities but never let that dull what you do for God.

"Never let anyone dull your sparkle"

I'm guilty & I've felt like giving up all because I desired approval & love so much! Don't seek to please people but seek to please God.

The people we love most are usually the ones who can cut the deepest.

This is why our relationship with God should be the one we spend the most time on.

I've been in that lonely spot. I've felt like I didn't matter. I've felt invisible.

I do know & understand how indescribably horrible it makes you feel.

I just want to assure you, wherever you are today that happiness is not far from you! You do matter & what you do for the Kingdom is a blessing to someone. Hold your head high & never forget.... Spring is coming!

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...
