Still Small Whispers from Heaven-- If we listen

 Still Small Whispers............ 


I haven’t sung a note much less a song, outside of singing in the congregation, since my Aunt Pearl's funeral a few years ago. Honestly, I’ve let my anxiety and the ole devil get in my head about singing.
A few weeks ago I promised myself and God to pick music back up only for the glory and honor of HIS kingdom.
Tonight I had dusted off some old music to practice and even downloaded some new songs. I was searching for a folder to put my sheet music in. I pulled out an empty binder and found these four tabs. That handwriting I would recognize anywhere. Alicia Jolly Alicia and I worked together 20something years ago but I found these tabs tonight. That is not lost on me. ❤️
I always say everything happens for a reason. Alicia was always my number 1 supporter and biggest cheerleader. Finding those tabs for me was like calling my friend and getting that much-needed talk to continue on the journey…. No matter what nonsense the devil tries to tell you.
I hear you BMG! ❤️❤️

Rest in peace my dear sweet friend.....

There are so many other things that I need to be doing.   So many….   However, my mind just keeps going back to the events of last week and the loss of a special person.   My previous mother in law, Brenda Steed passed away on Tuesday of last week.   It’s no secret that I was married previously before I married Bryan.   Robert and I met my junior year in high school after my friend (who also happened to be his sister, Robin) introduced us when my date for my junior prom backed out at the last minute.   Robert and I went on one date and were inseparable after that. Our casual dating quickly progressed into a serious relationship.     I was also quickly adopted into his family as if I had been there all my life.   Robin and I immediately declared that we were sisters.   And His mother, Brenda, took me in and treated me as if I was her daughter.    If there was a need or want for something then Brenda found a way to get it...

wrinkled sheets

Image
I am having company this weekend.  So, as usual I am running around a few hours before they get here trying to make sure the house is clean and presentable.  I began to make up our bed and realized that I was a little more than unhappy about the way those sheets looked.  I folded the covers back and stood at the edge looking at the wrinkles.  I just couldn't be happy with the way it looked.  I noticed that I started to get a little negative about everything I did after that.  I began to think:  There were clothes in the hamper- I can never stay caught up on laundry.... there were a few stray dishes in the sink...why cant anyone ever take out the garbage.... I will never get caught up on my work stuff...  All thoughts that were going through my head.  Those dang wrinkled sheets were going to ruin my excitement over my family coming.  It was at that moment that I had an epiphany!!  I think that sometimes we let our ...

How I became one of “THOSE” Christmas people

  How I became one of “THOSE” Christmas people.     I have always loved to decorate for the holidays.  When I lived in Birmingham, I had someone who later became an excellent friend who came and decorated for me for Christmas.  I would go and buy all the elements I liked- ribbons- different textures, colors, fabrics, florals, ornaments, and she would tell me what would work and what wouldn’t, and then she would put up my tree.  It was one of those things that I splurged on.  Seeing my home decorated with such precise thoughtfulness brought me great joy.  It also shined a little brighter that I didn’t have to put all those ornaments on a 12 foot tree.  😊 That friend taught me a lot along the way about decorating and design.  She taught me how to look at a room with perspective, a vision, and even how to have a perception about sizing items in the room or on a tree. Most importantly, you also needed a perception of what the ot...
