Cloggin' Its Kinda My Thing.

Clogs. A lot of people think of a wooden pair of shoes made to wear in Ireland, but what I think of is a wonderful pair of white shoes with silver taps. Clogging shoes to be exact! I remember taking my first clogging class and being amazed at the skill and talent the "6 o'clockers" had ;) ! I'm still amazed to this day. Goodness I made it sound like it was forever ago. Lol! I started clogging with my sister Chloe about a year ago and I am SO glad I did! It has been such a blessing to meet all my fellow cloggers and to go to so many different shows with them! Not only that but to have a wonderful clogging teacher! Miss Suzanne, as we all call her, has been so kind and patient at teaching us all the different skills to clogging. Recently we had the privilege to audition for a talent search at the BAMA theatre! Although we did not win, I will forever cherish the memories. I felt like I was on America's Got Talent! It was so exciting, I get goose bumps just thinking about it. I will never forget right before we went on stage how nervous I was. Haha! It was the longest five minutes of my life. I remember saying a little prayer to God that he would give me strength and let non of us fall! :) From then on all I can remember was how excited I was!! I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to go and I can't wait till next year! Who knows maybe we'll win. :)

Here are a few behind the scene pictures, where we waited for 4 hours, it was worth it though. We had a blast playing cards, singing, doing hair and make-up, and of course clogging!

A New Year and New Adventures. Welcome 2018!

So what's your new year's resolution? I was asked this a few times during the last few days of 2017. I'm such a list maker that normally in the past, I would have given some great answers. Haha! This past year though, I've realized I may make a long list of things I want to accomplish or finish this new year but that list is susceptible to change. This year I want to surrender all those plans to God first. I've made a decision, which putting a decision into action can take some work, but anyway, I've decided to take 2018 one day at a time. So cliche you may think but let me tell you, for a girl like me who plans every minute, to every hour, to every day, month, year, 5 years, IT IS SO not easy for me. You know, you think I would learn by now from growing up as a preacher's daughter, having moved about five different times to different states, churches, friends, ect. that I would realize it's just not possible to expect everything to go according as ...

Nothing Shall Take What Lives Within

My heart was really torn after what happened to the church in Sutherland Springs, Texas this past week. I just can not imagine going through something like that. Last Wednesday night, I was blessed to hear a comforting message from the pastor of Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church, Elder Tim McCool. Speaking from Revelation 6:10-11, he reminded us that Our God is a Just God, Holy and True and even though man may take this outward body NOTHING can take away what's living within it. Praise God! I n relation to all of this, I was led to write a short poem. May it be, I hope and pray, a comfort to others. Fear, doubt, and trouble, come in as a warring thunder. Where is that silver lining, beyond these dark, thick, clouds asunder? We look to what surrounds us, what is amongst, finding no line of silver, a question unconquered. Is this a hidden treasure, we must seek to find? With a sigh, we find a hidden place and a book of Holy, by our side. In past, this book had served, to ...

Finding Gold

So recently I stumbled across an interesting blogger's post on 20 questions you could ask yourself and or an older sister in Christ to find treasures and spiritual inspiration. So being stumped on a topic, I decided to search out a Q&A and this one really stirred my thoughts. Also, sitting here on my couch because I'm suppose to rest after wisdom teeth extraction, is driving me a little nuts. Haha! I LOVE being active and it's only been a day after surgery and I'm already planning my get back in routine diet and workout plan. ;) Any who, let's jump in! I encourage you to ask some of these questions to yourself, friends, family members, church family, and anyone you're close to. Some are good ice breakers and I think important questions and topics to talk about. 1. What is your salvation story? Well if you're asking when I was saved, than you'll have to look back about 2,000 years ago, to Jesus taking my sins to the cross and dying there to s...
