  • What if I Fly?

    If you know me at all, you know that music is an integral part of my life – it is almost as important to me as Jesus, and my family, and oxygen. Music has provided a soundtrack to the highest highs and the lowest lows of my life. My favorite music tends to be Christian,…

    Faithfully

    “It’s been a long year, it almost took me down, I swear…” It has been around a year since I made a blog post. I never intended to go that long between posts, but…life. We’ve been busy doing the good things, the hard things, the everyday things. That line from the Toby Mac song “Faithfully”…

  • God of Everything

    One of my favorite t-shirts has a graphic on it that says “The God of the Mountains is the God of the Valleys”, which is a line from a worship song called “Graves into Gardens”. (Shout out to the Goods and Better Store, which is where I got the shirt. They are a great company…

  • It’s Okay

    Cancer is stupid. That was the consensus this evening as my family watched a recorded episode of the current season of “America’s Got Talent.” Cancer is an “a-word hole”, according to my 9-year-old – and I couldn’t agree more. This particular episode of AGT was the first one of the current season. We’ve been fans…

  • Soundtrack of Life

    If you know me at all, you probably know that music is a huge part of my life. As far back as I can remember I have sung almost as much as I have talked. I feel music in my shondo (if you don’t know what your shondo is, let me know and I will…

  • Georgia on My Mind

    One of my biggest fears when I was a little girl was that something bad would happen to my mom when I was away from her. Honestly, it was my absolute biggest fear and it contributed to the anxiety disorders I have endured as an adult. My dad was out of the picture before he…

  • How do you measure a year?

    Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes. Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear. Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes. How do you measure, measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee (or diet Dr. Pepper) In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In five hundred twenty-five thousand,…

  • Thanxiety

    I think I have invented a couple new words! Well, not really new words but rather a combination of already-existing words. I’ll tell you what they are in just a paragraph or two, but first I want to let you know how this came about. Recently, in a series of teaching on Philippians at church,…

  • The Unfolding

    In November of 2022, my husband Les and I got to sit down with Meredith Foster from WBGL Christian radio to record an episode of “The Unfolding” – an on-going podcast with more than 150 episodes to date. (That’s Meredith with me in the photo above.) New editions of the show, usually released weekly, tell…

  • Just for Fun

    I enjoy sharing through this blog how God has been working in my life to heal me of cancer and a decades-long battle with anxiety and agoraphobia. For this post, I want to get a bit more lighthearted and share some of my favorite things I’ve experienced (so far) as I venture out after so…
