About Me

My mama was praying with me one night after I had a miscarriage. She was holding my hand and crying with me over the loss. As she bent close to my ear, she whispered these words from Philippians 4:8. They have been words that have given me comfort and peace and hope ever since."Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies." Philippians 4:8When I try to live in the past, I remember these words from Isaiah - "Forget about what's happened; don't keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new. It's bursting out! Don't you see it? There it is! I'm making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands." Isaiah 43:16-21BEHOLD - Be alert!!!! It is a surprise. God will bring you out of the desert and into something new!! He has done this for me. I pray you will let Him do it for you.
