“Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness.” Psalm 30:11 The hesitant turns of a little girl now grown are turning into free, wholehearted twirls of delight for her Daddy. The sin that magnifies the opinions of others and shrinks the Truth of the…
I’m sitting in my own little prayer room, just over at the Starbucks down the street. It’s been a busy week with many children (think more than five, two less than ten) in our home at one time. I’m in need of some Kelly-Jesus time. There are so many things on the horizon in life…
In this beautiful journey deeper into the Father’s heart over the last year, He has been giving me plenty of testimonies of His love for me. Things He accomplishes that demonstrate very clearly His delight in me and lavishing love toward me have been easier for me to see. Whether they are increasing in frequency…
Oh my, life is so full right now. I am bursting with joy over the fulness of it. I could write pages of testimony of what the Lord is doing– I hope I can soon. But in the meantime, I am spending my time packing boxes. We are moving next Saturday. That’s right. We learned…
My fear is a result of the desire to be enslaved again. Even though I am not fully alive in my soul when I’m bound by fear, I cling to it like a cherished security blanket. Full of holes but so smooth to the touch, this cheap substitute of alluring fear takes the place of…
The little girl in my heart is having a dream revived, but my 30 year old frame is staring fear in the face. It’s easy to believe the lie that fear is harder to get over now that I’m older, except for the fact that I’m learning the very real truth of 1 John 4:18–“Perfect…
Despite it being well over a month since my last post, we are alive and (mostly) well. Life has been extremely busy, and while I want to get back to writing, for now it will simply be pictures. I’ll catch you up on the last month through faces. Be back soon!
I get tripped up easily when I lower my gaze to settle on myself. Not only do I miss the extravagant beauty of my Savior, His worth, and the joy which comes from spilling myself out so He can fill me up, my heart darkens. My heart is no longer worshiping Jesus, but my own…
Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk Without money and without cost. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me and eat what is…
We have had some gorgeous weather lately–it’s been such a welcome reprieve after a bitter cold winter here in east Tennessee. So, in celebration of spring arriving, we’ve enjoyed many outdoor activities including our first annual “First Day of Spring Celebration.”
Of the greatest struggles I’ve faced since knowing Christ, one of the biggest has been living with DNA tainted by the enemy of my soul through sin. The building blocks of my body have not been the code of full life. I did not begin knowing Jesus until I was 15, and sin’s taint also…
I sent an email to Blane recently that said something along the lines of, “This season of life with small kids is hard. I am responsible for teaching them everything they need to know. It is filled with training, discipline, and often times, it seems that is what fills our schedule the most. It’s hard,…
