The past few months I have been writing songs instead of blog posts. I wanted to share one song I wrote in October while studying Psalm 74. The audio attached is me singing just the first minute of the song, but the song’s full lyrics are below. I wrote this song because there is so […]
Job 37, Psalm 29 & Proverbs 8: God’s Voice
“How do I hear God’s voice?” is a common question I get from the students I teach. Take this journey with me through God’s Word on what he says concerning his voice. God Speaks One of the innumerable beauties about the One and Only True God of the Bible is he communicates. He brought everything […]
Matthew 6 and 9: Jesus, I want more of you
I just completed a 48 hour fast where I ate nothing and only drank water, rotating in water infused with electrolytes. Fasting has been a part of my walk with Jesus, but this was my first fast from calories. The first 24 hours were manageable as my body functioned off of stored up calories. The […]
Welcome To . . . Marriage
Twenty-two years ago today, May 1, I was on a date in Atlanta with my now husband, David. I liked his confidence. He liked my decisiveness and that I asked to finish his burrito as we sat at the original Moe’s in Buckhead. We were on a no pressure lunch date that turned into spending […]

If you are reading this post having recently experienced tragedy, please stop reading. What follows is truth from God’s Word, but if you are processing pain from tragedy, this post is for another time. I live and teach in Nashville, Tennessee.

Psalm 145: God’s Goodness
I took this picture. Lovely, isn’t it? Well, here is the story to me getting that shot. David and I celebrated our twentieth anniversary last month in Europe with our boys. The trip took ten months to plan and every detail was laid out in a thirty page Google document. We saw thirty-eight sites, rode […]
2 Corinthians 5: New Creation (New Self)
The aging process is humbling. I experienced such humility one day recently at the local recreation center where I swim laps. This particular day I was swimming before my school day started. There was an unfamiliar face welcoming me at the front desk. I handed her my debit card, and she asked if I usually […]
Romans 6: I’m So Over Screens (Old Self)
My family took a summer trip which involved hilarious excursions along the east coast, a baseball tournament, and time with my side of the family. We drove from Nashville to Buffalo, NY to Niagara Falls to Cooperstown, NY and then to New Jersey (taking the train to NYC). We left the northeast and traveled down […]
Ezekiel 16 & Isaiah 43: I, I am the Lord
Today is my birthday. In the almost 20 years I’ve been married, I have spent my birthdays at the beach. This year, my family squeezed in a quick beach trip between the end of school and a summer baseball camp. The featured image for this post is from our trip. As we drove home yesterday […]
