I first met Mrs. Melissa at a Mission's Conference at my church over 12 years ago. We both had children within a couple weeks of each other and she had brought her newborn. I followed their ministry from then on, but it wasn't until a few years ago that we were both speaking at a [...]
In A Desert Place
It's amazing how God places people in your life. I've never met Mrs. Yas Huling, and I don't know her family, but her husband contacted us last year about singing at their church. We follow each other on Instagram and have talked back and forth several times. Tonight was such a time, and she said [...]
Even If
For six years, I've been writing about my dizziness. Writing about the songs the Lord has given me. Writing about praising Him through it all. I've recently discovered what I think is a diagnosis for my dizziness/off balance feeling. It describes my symptoms precisely and accurately. I have not been officially diagnosed by a doctor, [...]
Available Power
"Gas pumps have 3 grades of fuel available. The higher the grade, the more power can be experienced. Yet people go with the low grade, not willing to pay the price for the higher fuel. The power is available if you're willing to pay the price." (-An illustration used by J. Harold Smith) I despise [...]
Without a Titus
"...our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears. Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;..." 2 Corinthians 7:5-6 I have this verse underlined in my Bible because at one time the words, "our flesh had no [...]
When Jesus Can’t Be Seen
Imagine that you are holding someone's hand one moment and the next moment, you find yourself in hell. From a place of safety to a place of complete terror and torture. It is recorded as happening in Judges 16. Go read it in its entirety. I had to go brush up on it too, because [...]
What Do You Want?

Overwhelmed
For all my "focusing" I did last year, I feel so unfocused as this new year looms. And if I'm being honest, I'm overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with all the things I know need to change this year. Overwhelmed with all the things that need to be done. Overwhelmed with my family, our church, our country, our [...]
Focus On A Gift To Give
One of my favorite Christmas memories was one my papaw loved to tell. I had went shopping with my grandparents one day several weeks before Christmas in 1995. I was 10. As we were walking through the store, we stopped by the jewelry counter and there was a Mickey Mouse watch that caught my eye. [...]
Focus on God’s Unchangeableness
Today is a big day. A lot could change tomorrow. No matter what happens. I know we've seen it all over Facebook, we've already had the same thoughts running through our heads, maybe our peacher has preached it within the last few weeks. But sometimes we need reminded over and over again. Whoever wins, God [...]
