a baby lived and the devil lost…again…

It was just a normal Monday. I was sitting on my bed putting make-up on and my cell phone rang. I looked down and it showed a name I didn’t recognize. (I program names in my phone & sometimes can’t remember who they are!!) Me: “Hello?” Lady: “Hey Kelly, it’s Katie from the adoption agency. [...]

could He be sending me back in?

Several years ago I was at a women’s conference in North Carolina singing with Rita Springer. Once worship was finished, I went to sit in the back of the church. The lady who was teaching began talking about prophecy and prophetic words, and I couldn’t help but scoff a bit under my breath. Over my [...]

the stories are true…that Jesus makes all things new…

I’ve needed to write a blog for a while, but I just haven’t had much to say. That in itself says a lot about the season I am in. 2011 is over. Let’s all breathe a sigh of relief! Among the chaos, though, God has done something in my heart. I’m a little calmer. I [...]

and i thought i was just getting my hair done…

I’ve been putting off getting my hair done for a while because it’s hard for me to rationalize spending the money AND spending 2 hours being still. (I know, first world problem!) ☺ But, alas, my roots were quite blond so I scheduled an appointment for today. I’ve been battling the blues for a few [...]

The International House of Prayer in Atlanta has some of the most talented and anointed musicians I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. I used to find myself thinking “Why are they here? They could be making a good living at this in Nashville or New York or somewhere else.” During the first Sunday service [...]

but you can call me thomas…

Is God’s love really unconditional? What exactly is the “blessed life”? How should we define success? Is the idea of a seeker sensitive church biblical? What is the church supposed to be doing in this hour? For the past few weeks, I’ve been pondering these questions and many others. Well, let’s be honest. For the [...]

who’s afraid of…everything?

One of my earliest childhood memories was when Adam Walsh was abducted from a Sears department store in Florida. That was in 1981, so I would have been 5 years old at the time. I remember watching my parents sit in front of the news and talk about how terrible it was. I remember the [...]

is this how He sees me?

I received a message last week from a guy I knew from youth group when I was around 13-14 years old. He said that one of the things he remembered most about me was how optimistic and kind I was. I read it over and over to make sure I was reading it right. Me?? [...]

thoughts on Shaun King, Rob Bell, Back to Life & The Well

Matt and I got connected with Shaun King in September of 2009. He was reaching out on Twitter for people to help victims of the floods that had just taken place, and we contacted Shaun to see what we could do to help. Shaun is the pastor of Courageous Church in downtown Atlanta. We had [...]

does God need the Betty Ford Clinic?

I read “The Misunderstood God” in 2 days, put it down and said “seriously??” It’s taken me a few days to sift through the lies and try to grasp the basic thing this book teaches: God.Is.Love. Groundbreaking isn’t it? Haven’t we heard that a gazillion times in our lives?  I have sung and written songs [...]
