Unpacking my suitcase this week, I found a sweet love note from my 9-year-old niece. “Auntie Leelee (yes, it’s my nickname) you are a Princess AND a Super Hero.” I just busted out in laughter at how cute the note was and how much it touched me. Then it got spiritual, the Holy Spirit whispered,…
HAPPY NEW YOU
Is it just me or has this year flown by! 2016 where did you go Another year is upon us and I remember thinking that by now we would have flying cars. I was raised in the Jetson era, so that explains it. As I look back and reflect on all God has done this…
THAT BEAUTIFUL REASON
Merry Christmas! Shop till you drop! I often notice shopping as the focus of Christmas. Everywhere I turn, every commercial, every store telling us “buy more, it’s what you need.” We’ve been good “santa” now give us what we want. All the hustle & bustle keeps us busy. It is the season of busy. While…
REASON FOR THE WAIT
I know, I know, so many of us hate waiting. For anything these days. We live in a culture of instant gratification. While technology is great, it has us living in a world of touch and go. God is not a touch and go God. In fact, he’s just the opposite. Many look at the…

I have such sweet memories growing up together with my family traditions. Reminiscing here of that quality family time, mama’s home-cooked feast and cutting down a Christmas tree in the mountains the following Saturday. Big…
IDENTITY CRISIS
Have you ever wanted to change your name? Growing up as a church girl, going to the bible book store with my family was when it first hit me. My siblings would find a bookmark with their name and meaning on it such as grace, star and prophet. Mine was weak eyes or weary. Yes,…
PEACE IN THE VOTE
First I must say, I am not a very political person, especially this time around. Most of me wants to just sit back, pray and not get too involved. Division, anger and conflict stir within talk of our current election like never before. We have candidates unlike any before. Being a proud American, it can…
WELCOME TO LENS OF FAITH
Welcome to Lens of Faith // Here I am with my first official post…eek! So nervous yet excited. When God made it clear to me a couple of months ago to start blogging, I was like um I don’t think so. I don’t blog, just look at my own business, I lack consistency. I don’t…
