A SPRINGTIME of  ENCOURAGEMENT

Welcome spring! 
During the spring season, this time for new beginnings, we are going to study and discuss enlightenment.

Since spring is the time when the dormant bursts forth with a strength only nature fully understands, there is no better time to learn about God's enlightenment. 
Everything from tulips to wild onions; crocus to lettuce; from butterflies to...people.
Everything living thing faces life seasons.  For vegetation, spring is the time when God given potential surges forth from hidden depths. Its growth tentative at first but then drawn upward by a force stronger than themselves. And suddenly, ready to face real life elements, stands a strong, viable plant.
Thankfully, unlike vegetation, we have several spring-like opportunities spread out across our lifetime.  For the most part, our spring seasons look a lot alike. We each have decisions to make, opportunities to embrace, goals to accomplish.
And one huge question to answer: "What am I waiting for before I truly start living?"
Ladies, let's learn to bloom where we're planted!

In Christ with love and compassion,
Coach Kelly

Create in Me

"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me" (Psalm 51:10) SEVERAL years ago, I drove across a few back WVa back roads, across Dolly Sods and Red Creek.  While taking this picture, I considered how the creek,  (pounced crick where I come from),  had marked out its own path . The interesting thing about a creek, is that when the water is high, it hides what’s laying in the creek bed; but a low water level reveals unsightly debris. Some debris, fallen trees and leaves, occur naturally. Other stuff, tires, plastic bags, bottles, they are deposited there on purpose. But debris is debris…and it mires the beauty of the creek and can change the course of the waters flow. Interestingly enough, Christians have a lot in common with a creek…and  when a Believer’s faith ‘ebbs and flows’, it sends a message to anyone watching, and they will  take notice. We’re all guilty of the spiritual ebb and flow phenomenon.  When our faith is high...

Christmas Wonderings

  I wonder if I  pray differently than most people? Or maybe I pray exactly like most people…? My mind wanders, I fall asleep, I get interrupted…and then I’m done. Sound familiar?  What I need is to be outside, away from distractions. So this chilly morning, wrapped in a heated blanket on an enclosed porch, I entered into a quiet place of prayer. As an author, writer, introverted-mess, I’ve found the best way for me to talk to God is to write my part out and wait. As I’m sitting here this morning, enjoying Christmas on the porch and blogging, I thought of King David. He didn’t always have an ideal place to pray, yet that didn’t stop him from jotting down some desperate prayers. I’ll go out on a limb here, and assume that like me, he had some introverted traits, too.  Maybe that’s why I can relate to David’s prayers. I love how his writings jump from distress to praise without missing a beat! Still, “ as a man after God’s own heart” (Acts 13:22), I wonder how mu...
