A Jazzy, Classical, Somewhat Folky but Still Appalachian Christmas

Thinking positively today. Why think about the hurts, the wrongs or slights? Why complain about things you don’t like when there is actually so much to be happy about? How many blessings has God given you? Start naming them and your outlook will reflect His goodness and grace on your life. . . #thinkpositive #positivevibes #gladgame #pollyanna #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #thursdaythoughts
We’ve all got baggage. Maybe it’s time to put it down, grab just the essentials, and embrace the next step in your life’s journey. . Trust me, it will surprise you how much freedom you’ll find when you put down the hurt, release the anger, and root out the bitterness. . What are you holding on to? What things in your past are you still carrying? Join me this year—together, let’s discover the great future ahead of us! But we’ll never get there tomorrow if we can’t begin letting go today. . . #letgo #baggage #writersofinstagram #writing #selfhelp #selfcare #author #authorsofinstagram #encouragement #encourage
It’s okay to be just “ok.” Stay in that place for awhile. You may get back on top, you may get moved to a new mountain altogether, you may stay right where you are. God has a plan and a purpose for you—but you may never see it if you expect perfection to show up right now, in this moment. What He may want for you is to accept that you are fine where He has put you today, and do the best you can right there. . He’s already begun doing a new thing, even if you can’t see it. So say to yourself, “Hey—it’s okay.” . #okay #letgo #acceptance #selfhelp #tuesdaymotivation #writer #author #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #beokay
Just crossed over 300 followers yesterday and I’d like to say #thankyou! I hope my ramblings and writings are encouraging. 2020 is shaping up to be an exciting year: new books, more speaking engagements, and other surprises! Thank you for joining me on this journey of faith! . . #writersofinstagram #writers #author #authorsofinstagram #thankful #blessed #writerscommunity #writerslife
Sunday is here, and with it comes another week. You are probably still carrying some of the burdens of last week, and borrowing the burdens of the week to come. So a new week, full of its own troubles staring you in the face seems like a daunting proposition. . Pause for a moment. Before the week gets too crazy and you start to worry about all that is to come, take a moment of #calm and remember, He has you in the palm of His hands, where you can #rest. And even better, His hands are always ready to hold you, to calm you, and to remind you that you are so wonderfully and beautifully loved. . #LetGo #sunday #sundaymotivation #sundaymorning #peace #encouragement #wordsofencouragement #positiveaffirmations #affirmations #writersofinstagram #author #writer #hanginthere #dontgiveup
You have value. You have worth. You matter. . . #writersofinstagram #writer #selfhelp #saturdaymotivation #authorsofinstagram #author #inspirationalquotes #inspiration #encouragement #encouragingquotes
