What is it about someone's eyes? I mean, you look at a person's foot or hand or even right at their face, but unless you look at the eyes, you don't really know that person. You know? When I think I've said something to hurt my husband's feelings and he tells me that everything is fine; but, unless I see his eyes and can see it in his eyes, I'm not completely convinced that "everything is fine

This past Friday I decided to audition for the Christian community's take on "American Idol" in a talent contest called "Gifted Talent." Yep, I got up early on my day off... well, it was only a day off because I took vacation to go to this thing, so I would have gotten up early anyways, but I digress...where was I? Oh, yes, I got up early to go stand in line in the cold outside the Trinity

Um... hi.... remember me? I know you do... I've had sweet comments from you guys letting me know you miss me :) This post will be REALLY short because I have to get ready to go back to church in just a couple of minutes...I've missed you guys, though! Life's been rather hectic over the last few months and I've been waiting for God to give me the "ok" or "nope" to blog about the past few months

Well, guys, I can vouch for all of this (born and raised here!)... well, with the exception of the fact that we don't leave our doors unlocked. Ever. EVER. However, all of the rest is true... I grew up in Cobb county and I've given directions based on "The Big Chicken" many times and, I'm a little scared to admit that I've said "jeetyet", mostly because I was too lazy to enunciate all the words.

Well, it may not be good grammar, but even the best of grammar hasn't seemed to get mine and hubby's power back on yet!

Today is mine and my wonderful hubby's 2 year anniversary! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful, Christian husband. Marriage isn't easy, I know I don't even have to tell you that! We know that we couldn't do this without Christ in the center of everything we do. We have a framed poem a friend gave us as a wedding gift that says "Marriage Takes Three."

Hey! I'm no longer a "flippery fish" in the TTLB Ecosystem! I've somehow 'evolved' (let's not get started on a discussion of evolution here...) into a "Crawly Amphibian"!

Wow! I love this Stat Counter jazz! It's really interesting to see the paths people take to get to my site. Even more intriquing is the key words used in searches on Google, Yahoo!, and such that lead them to my site. Well, this week I almost got a Googlewhack! What is a "Googlewhack"?

Ok, so it probably seems like I have nothing to write about these days... not true. I've got tons of things rolling around in my head, but can't seem to fit any of it together to really write a good post. But, moreso, I've just been crazy busy so I haven't had the time to write a good post, but I promise to really soon... I promise. Anyways, just so nobody thinks I got kidnapped and hauled off to

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.Acts 4:13 (KJV) Every week it's the same, I go to church on Sunday, sing in the choir, go to Sunday school, go to the service, my whole day is focused on God, my entire reason for existing.

The other day in a forum I belong to the question was asked "What religion are you, if any?" One person's response sort of floored me. Their response was "I was raised Catholic, not too religious these days -- God's there when and where I need Him." When I read that, my heart fell. I truly felt pain in my soul. I felt pain and sorrow that this is how this person feels, but I also felt pain

I got an email late last night from Christy, a friend of Denise (Austin's mother), with an update on Austin and his family. Here's what she had to say (slightly edited to remove their last name):Cindy,Thank you so much for your prayers for Austin and his family! They are precious people whose love for the Lord is infectious! Denise did not have to actually go into the hospital Wed. night,

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get an update on Austin, but I don't know any further information right now. I'll post as soon as I do. As long as your here, though, I wanted to point you to a couple of bloggers' sites and their most recent posts which are both GREAT! Jump on over to Joe's blog, Joe's Jottings, to read his post "With A Song In My Heart" (had to know that one would pull me in, huh?)

It's possible that he may be allowed to go home Sunday.Short update on my hubby/Paula's brother: he had his MRI this morning and when I spoke to him around 1:00 this afternoon he was going to eat lunch and then would go to the doctor afterwards for them to read the

Those of you who have been around here for a while will notice that I changed the title of my blog from "The Song In My Heart" to the current "His Footprints, My Heart". I loved "The Song In My Heart" because God's always got a song for me or a lesson and I wear my heart on my sleeve in person and on my blog, but I decided to change it to "His Footprints, My Heart" for a couple of reasons.

God is good all the time and all the time God is good. You've probably heard that before and, just like me, you've probably even said it many times. It just sort of rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

... Don't Worry, God Has A Plan!That was the title of the sermon at church Sunday morning, and was it ever timely. But, then again, isn't that just like God??You see, last Wednesday night on my way home from church I was so beaten down and I just prayed all the way home.

As I promised, I'm starting a series of posts on my personal testimony. It's taken me a while to get started because I wasn't completely sure how to start. So, I decided to start at the beginning, skip some things, and focus on some of the "bigger" things. My hope is that God gets all the glory in this and that somehow I might help someone else along the way. Without further ado...I was the

I was going to start a series of posts on my testimony of recent years, but felt led to post this instead. I'm still going to post on my testimony, just not today. Instead, there have been a few verses that have really been speaking to me this week.

I have such a difficult time being consistent with my quiet time, my time alone with God. There have been times in my life where I was completely absorbed in Him, if you know what I mean.

Ok, so Paula tagged me today in a blog game. Here's the deal: I have to pick 5 or more of the following occupations and post my answers here. Then, I tag 3 other people to post their answers on their blog. Got it? Sounds like fun, huh? Here goes....The "questions":If I could be a scientist...If I could be a farmer...If I could be a musician...If I could be a doctor...If I could be a painter

You've been there, I know it. You've been sitting in church on Sunday morning listening to the preacher preaching about the love of God and then it comes. The preacher says something along the lines of "no matter what the scientists try to tell us" or "scientists can believe what they want, but...". Well, I have one question, who are "the scientists"? I ask this because many times I hear the

Hi guys, don't have but a second, but I have a friend who needs your prayers, urgently!!! I can't go into much detail, but she and her husband have several needs, that need to be met very, very quickly, especially in the "job" area. They are God fearing, dear Christian friends of mine, she's my best friend in the world. They have such faith, but satan is trying to tear them down. Please,

Ok, I have nothing against the color yellow, after all sunflowers are yellow! But when I get in my car at lunch to head down to the QuikTrip to fill up my car and the pollen is so thick on my windshield that I have to turn on the wipers to be able to see and this thick yellow cloud billows through the air, well, that's just a little too much!

I have a long drive to work and back home each day which gives me lots of time to listen to lots of music, which is GREAT! I love music, and I love to sing, just in case you don't know that about me yet! Songs speak to me, or rather, God speaks to me through songs. Oh, He speaks to me in lots of ways, but He knows me better than I know myself and knows that I'll most certainly hear Him in a

Thanks for the interview, Nettie! Here are my answers:1. Why are sunflowers your favorite?My answer: Oh, that's sooo easy! They are so happy looking!!! They brighten up any room (or blog template!!) How can you look at a sunflower and not smile??? Especially a whole field of sunflowers! But, probably even more than that, have you ever noticed how tall they stand and how they all face the same

I was sitting in church this weekend after we had finished our Easter cantata on Saturday night, listening to our interim pastor giving the invitation to all who came to the service, when one thought occurred to me. Have you ever stopped to think about the fact that Christianity is the only religion where the one that is worshipped is the one who insisted on dying rather than asking his

Hi guys! I've been playing around, trying to find a new template for "The Song In My Heart". I'm a little "over" the green one. Take a look at what I'm playing around with and let me know what you think!I'm also starting another blog called "Son Flowers". I'm going to post just whatever strikes me as one of those precious gifts, "flowers", that God puts in my life. You can take a gander at it

Alright, so when God really wants me to learn something, He seems to come at me from all angles. You know, when everything you hear on the radio, see on TV, or read seems to point you right back to what He's trying to teach you. Well, we're revisiting the "worry" topic. There's a phrase from one of my favorite songs that says "time to let it go and just believe." I think - no, I know - that

My closest friends and family know me very well, they know I'm a worrier. If I'm not worried about something I begin to worry that there's something I should be worried about and I'm not worrying about it.... seriously. I really do that, but I guess I don't have to tell everything I know, huh?A good friend of mine sent this to me in an email today:Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it

Have you ever thought about all the free stuff we have right at our fingertips each and every day? Free art... just look at the beautiful sunrise and sunset each day, or the beautiful birds in the sky, or the beautiful flowers that come in more colors and designs than you can imagine! We have free music... just listen to a child innocently singing her baby dolls to sleep, or listen to the birds

You know, it's been one of those weeks where I've just had alot on my mind. As I mentioned in Monday's post, I have this feeling of "restlessness" in my soul about how God wants to use me. I'm certain that music, specifically singing, is a part of that, but I just know that I need to be reaching people beyond what I'm doing now. I sing in our choir and am in the solo rotation at our church.

I would venture to say that most, if not all, of you guys reading this weren't stoned by your family this weekend because you went to church. I bet that your "un-churched" or non-Christian family, even if they think you're "wierd" or "crazy" for believing in Christ, still wouldn't consider stoning you. Unfortunately, that's not the case all over the world. I learned from a friend this weekend

You know, just a couple of short months ago, I had no idea what a blog was. Now, I've found this whole community of bloggin' buddies and prayer warriors! I'm truly amazed! For example, look at Paula's blog from yesterday or Darlene's blog asking prayer for her son. Isn't it amazing how God's people "find" each other wherever they go? Actually, it's awesome!

Don't you just love being able to edit while you're blogging? I mean, you can even go back in later and erase what you wrote in your post. We can even go in and "trash" a comment we made or one that someone else made that we might not like. Convenient, isn't it? Where's the "edit" button for my mouth or the "trash" button for the comments I make without truly thinking about it first. You see,

Have you ever stopped to think how we treat the other women in life? After all, we are the motherly, sensitive, caring ones. We're the ones whose hearts ache at when we see a lost puppy, we can tell something "just isn't right" by the mere change in someone's tone of voice... but how do treat other women, our sisters?

Does God speak to you when you're driving? I'm sure He probably does, just like He does with me. Well, this morning on my way to work it was foggy and drizzly, and people lose all sense of how to drive when a little water falls from the sky.

The other day I read someone asking "Does God say No?" and someone answered that God doesn't tell us "no" because God will always give us everything we need. But I have to disagree...I certainly believe that God will tell us "No" at times, just like my parents did as I was growing up. Just because something is "good", doesn't mean that it's "good for us". Cake and ice cream are good, and your 3

I've learned in life that usually when God really wants me to "get" something, He makes sure that everywhere I turn someone's steppin' on my toes. This week, My sis-in-law posted on her blog Believe N God about a woman's testimony of how "little foxes" were getting into her marriage and destroying it. Today, on The Christian Working Woman with Mary Welchel, she was talking about cleaning out our

I heard that song, "Peace Speaker", on the radio this morning on my way to work. It seemed that their "theme" on the radio was "peace" this morning.... and wouldn't you know it, that's just what I needed on my drive in to work... isn't that just like God?? I recently had a couple of fender benders on my way to work and let's just say driving in Atlanta traffic every day is not one of my favorite

I work in an oncology center and it's my job to make sure that we are continuously following up on our patients, even those who've been cancer-free for years. Well, yesterday on my um-teenth phone call I spoke with a precious elderly lady who told me that she and her husband of many years lived in separate houses, she with one daughter and he with the other. Her health as well as his had become

"I Know How To Say Thank You" I don't know about the future, I don't understand some things about the past. I don't know why some things happen, I don't know why some things end and others last. I don't know the rhyme or reason, I don't understand the words some people pray. But I see Your hand of mercy, Lord, protect me from the dangers in my way. There were times today when angels stood
