I wrote this song during a difficult time in my life. In going through some older things I've written, I've battled with whether or not to share. Some things I wrote thinking I'd be the only one to ever see them, but I've had so many spiritual nudges in the writing realm lately. This was... Continue Reading →

I read something one day about writing our own psalms by taking the format of many of the Psalms (eyes on the problem and self and then moving the focus to God and ending in praise), and decided to try it out. The word “why” screams within my soul, battling the truth of Your Word.... Continue Reading →

As a child it was so fun to spin until I was dizzy and then attempt to walk without falling down. At 40, getting dizzy is easier than ever and nowhere near as fun as I remember! Knowing how difficult walking, or even staying upright is when you’re dizzy, I’m always amazed when I see... Continue Reading →

  Broken. Merriam Webster defines it as “violently separated into parts” or “damaged or altered”. Have you ever felt this way? As if your very heart were violently wrenched from your chest and torn into pieces? It’s so raw and physical you can’t believe that anyone could look at you and not see it. It... Continue Reading →

I heard a song recently that really spoke to me in a way I’m sure the song was never intended. Although country music in and of itself speaks to a multitude of different situations you find yourself in, listening to this song I heard the wooing of my Heavenly Father. There'll be days your heart... Continue Reading →

The tears spill from her eyes and slide down her cheek. She tries so hard to pray but can't find the words to speak. She's trusting in You, but doesn't see how you'll make a way, And if she could hear you, here's what I think you would say. I made you to fulfill a... Continue Reading →
