Hope Still Wins
Each year around this time, I step away to celebrate the life Trent is living in heaven and to thank the Lord for all He’s done in my life since those tragic days at the Blue Lagoon on September 10th & 11th. This year, my heart is also deeply gutted over the death of Charlie […]
When Hope Grows Back
A story about a struggling tree became a reminder: God brings new life, even in hard seasons. If you’re waiting or hurting, this will speak to you.
TT Sings with The Beach Boys
Hey ya’ll, it’s Anita here — I wanted to take a moment to share something really cool with you! Years ago, Tammy had the incredible opportunity to fly to Santa Monica, CA to record one of the most iconic Beach Boys songs of all time in their studio — “God Only Knows” — with the […]
Do You Need A Miracle?
I wanted to share an encouraging word with you today because I believe God is wanting to do something powerful in all our lives, especially if we’ve been praying and asking God for that miracle surrounding our circumstances. Sometimes, we look at the miracles in the Bible and think they were reserved for a different time, but the truth is, God is still in the miracle-working business.
Navigating the Storms with Faith
Life can be unpredictable, can’t it? One moment, everything seems smooth sailing, and the next, we’re caught in a storm that rocks our faith to its core. It’s during these tumultuous times that our faith can feel shaken, especially when we see those we once looked up to falter or walk away from the path. But let’s take a deep breath together and remind ourselves that our journey as followers of Christ isn’t about the calm seas but about who is guiding us through the storm.
Saturday Morning Coffee Shops
It’s 7:00am on a beautiful cool crisp sunny Saturday morning and I’m sitting in a coffee shop alone in downtown Nashville trying to “hold it all in”….but my tears testify in this photo.
Soo many things encompassing my life the last couple months, has felt like a big ole pile of stress, anxiety and disappointment. I’ve been overwhelmed to say the least. And if one more thing arises I might need to sit in an empty room and rock back and forth until it all goes away….OR I could also just sit on a beach somewhere! That seems more like my style!
Chill in the Air!
I feel it all around me. The hot breath of summer has slowly changed to a refreshing chill in the air.
Change. There’s that word again!
There is change that grows us. Change that makes us better people. Change that opens our eyes to things that we were once blinded to. Change that forces us to reevaluate our motives or life goals. And all of these type of changes offer new opportunity…IF we choose to step into it.
Will Your Anchor Hold?
All of us have faith, but will your anchor of faith hold in the storms of life?
Is your anchor of faith a true anchor? Is your faith built upon the truth of scripture? Is your faith tested? Do you know how valuable, revealing and full of love a faith in Christ is?
9/11 – 20 Years Later, Never Forgetting
Here we are again…September 11th. 20 years ago, on this day, I got the phone call that I had dreaded getting all night long the night before….”Tammy, we found Trent.” He was about 100’ below the water in Jamaica’s Blue Lagoon, still hanging onto his underwater scooter, and it appears something had struck him on the back of the head while he was free diving. And he didn’t survive. He didn’t make it. He was gone.
Where Is My Blessing?
Earthly blessings are temporary; they can all be taken away. And oh what pain and disappointment that can bring. Job’s blessings all disappeared in one fateful day. I, too, had a wonderful life that was stripped away within seconds. My husband was gone and my dreams were shattered.
And yet, in the midst of those painful days that followed, I began to experience God’s truest and richest blessings. My faith was growing stronger than I had experienced before. I felt a deeper love than I had ever known.
