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.

Be Still And Know

Life is full of movement. If we are moving, we are living. Yet movement can also be exhausting—physically and mentally.

In some ways, movement can be paralyzing. We can feel stuck because though we’re moving all over the place it might not seem like there’s any real direction or meaning behind it. We know we’re moving, but we wonder if we’re really getting anywhere.

Finding Some Kind Of Joy

Finding Joy can be a challenge for alot of people. Especially during a year long pandemic when nothing has been normal. But when I talk about joy, I’m not doing so from the perspective of a bubbly person who never seems to have a bad day or questions WHY! Many of us think that joy means feeling good all the time. That’s impossible! Even for those who are naturally upbeat and optimistic, that’s impossible.

Honoring My Friend Who Was Just Killed in a Plane Crash!

On September 8th, mine and Anita’s precious friend Lieutenant Colonel Shelli Huether was killed in a plane crash here in TN, along with 2 other airman. Shelli started her military career in the Texas Air National Guard as a Navigator and has deployed five times. Her current assignment was with the 118th Airlift Wing in Nashville TN. Shelli had a servant’s heart and spent countless hours volunteering with the USO, Operation Stand Down, and many other charities and non-profit organizations

God Can’t Redeem What We Will Not Release

Often we hold on soo tightly to things in our lives or our own way of thinking because we don’t want to change or it’s just soo hard to let go.

But God can’t redeem what we will not release.

Maybe we forget that He still holds the power to heal and to set free.

I Need Something New

Life is full of broken dreams, heart ache, challenges, mind blinding circumstances and plans that feel like they keep falling short. It can feel at times like we’re living in the wilderness of self-defeat with different shades of pain and numbness. For many, we lose the hope to believe in the place called tomorrow or a new beginning.

In spite of these difficulties, God’s word stands solid as an anchor to take you to your promised land. God does not want you to remain where you are if you’re feeling hopeless.

What To Do With This Fear, Worry, and Anxiety

I know many of us might be carrying an extra load of worry, anxiety and fear right now. Especially as we face so many tough situations, changes and unknowns. Sometimes it’s easy to choose to rely upon our own strength rather than upon God and His Word. If you’re anything like me, then you know that we can often forget that God can handle ANY problem. Or perhaps we think we can do a better job handling the situation ourselves. Either way, when we choose to lean on our own understanding instead of God’s promises, we are placing ourselves, or the overwhelming situations we are facing, “before” the Lord.

Happy 25th Ministry Anniversary, Tammy

t has taken me days to process everything that happened last Monday night here in Nashville.

It was truly the biggest surprise of my life time. I had no idea that “girls night out” with my best friends was actually a planned for months “set up” surprise gathering at the elegant and luxurious Sambuca with some pretty amazing people that mean the world to me.
