I think if I could title the past five months of my life, I could sum it all up as “Well, that did not go as planned.” In fact, 2016 has not been going quite as planned either. Maybe that’s where you are right now…feeling the need for a “do-over.” I’m talking myself through this as I talk you through … Read More
Wonderful Counselor
Do you ever choose a word for your new year? It’s usually a word that summarizes what you hope to be the over all tone of your coming 365 days. My word for 2015 was: Intentional. One thing I chose to be intentional about for these past twelve months was reaping the benefits of counseling. I was in an intense … Read More
Who’s On Your Production Crew?
When I was growing up, my grandparents did their very best to make it to all of my birthday parties. I don’t know that they made it to all of them, but I remember them at most of my special events. My Granddaddy travelled the world, spreading the Gospel, with Dr. Billy Graham, serving as his right hand man and … Read More
Look Up
There’s something so ‘summery’ about sitting in the stands of a baseball game…at least in America. The summery things in the rest of the world must be pretty glorious, too. But when I think of summer, this is what comes to mind: swimming, corn on the cob, grilled burgers and chicken, peaches, blackberries, lightening bugs, fresh cut grass, flip flops, … Read More
Top Ten (OK, Thirteen) Take Aways From She Speaks 2015
I’ve been on the road this week after wrapping up time well spent learning at Proverbs Thirty One Ministries She Speaks Writers’ and Speakers’ Conference in Concord, North Carolina. I joined over 800 other women who LOVE words and want to learn how to use them wisely to point others to the Word who became flesh and made His dwelling … Read More
On The Art of Work
Welcome to Whispers From My Library Each month, I’ll be sharing about a book or two that I’ve found to be very valuable in my own collection of read words. I believe books are some of the most important aspects of human development. I was the nerd who had posters about books in general hanging in my room growing … Read More
On Being 30 Years Old
Well, as of this Saturday, I will have survived the full year of that number I dreaded so much last year. This time last year, I was just in pieces about turning 30 and not having accomplished all that I had hoped by that age. I wrote a couple blogs about it, sifting through my emotions for truth. But mostly … Read More
The Middle of Your Story
Thoughts race through your mind as you hear yet another person’s success story of how they got through something difficult or how they skipped the circumstances that you are going through all together. You wonder, “That’s great for them. But what about my story? How’s my story going to turn out?” You may fret and hyperventilate a little or a … Read More
The Parable of The Crows and The Owl
They were all causing the greatest ruckus. You would’ve thought it was a matter of national security right outside the door of my sun-porch. I had no idea why those crows were cawing so fiercely and aggressively. The cacophony of horrendous sounds caused me to rise from my couch to peer out the screens. I shivered when I saw a … Read More
My Favorite Books of 2014
2014 was a year packed full of probably the most reading I’ve accomplished in one year of my life ever. I even mentioned it in my Christmas letter this year because it was such a big deal for this eager, yet slow reader to have read 5,337 pages from 21 books! (Being assigned a ton of reading for a semester … Read More
