I’ve had a lot of conversations lately about disappointment. Maybe a situation didn’t turn out like we thought it would. Or a parent has hurt us. Or our kids made some really bad choices. Or someone isn’t being the friend they should be. Or a spouse seems distant and communication seems impossible. We have all [...]
1. Good friendships take time to build. They also take work and going through at least 3 earth-shattering issues together to be legit. 2. No one except you really cares what you weigh. 3. Never trust someone who is a crappy tipper…or is rude to waiters…or kicks puppies. 4. Everything is not a crisis. Don’t [...]
Maybe you’ve all noticed by newfound courage to pursue my dreams. It’s something that has been brewing for a few months (probably since I auditioned for The Voice), but I’ve just recently been able to put words to it. Or maybe I was just afraid to put it out there because I’d actually have to [...]
As many of you know, we moved to Kansas City almost a year ago because God said to. No, He didn’t appear in our living room, but there was a tug on both of our hearts to move close to the International House of Prayer and be a part of things that were going on [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
