Blessed By God!! Mama to an incredibly gifted daughter, Mimi to three loving grandsons, honored to serve my Savior wherever He leads me.

@JQuillinTV I knew your grandfather well. He was a great man of honor and truly loved the Lord and was a true servant. He was kind and gentle and I always appreciated that about him. I will be praying for your grandmother, Linda and all of your family.

You can’t be full of the Holy Spirit and full of yourself at the same time.

I did not want to go to church today. My husband home sick, exhaustion from the week, and my annoyance at [gestures toward the vague "people"].

I went, because it would be unthinkable for my kids to not go. And I know I needed to go. And I hung back from Sunday School for awhile sipping coffee, and finally snuck in the back.

I did share some thoughts in the conversation when asked to participate. We were talking about sharing your testimony. And I said that one of the main hard parts is that it's hard to look good, and make Jesus look good at the same time. We are the sinners, he is the Savior. A testimony isn't "I'm awesome, and God made me more awesome." It doesn't work that way.

And to be honest, we also think the equation is, I once was lost, then Jesus found me, and now my life is wonderful. And the truth is, our life isn't always wonderful. We need Jesus every day--every hour. It's not an equation for a happy life. It's exposing to others that we have a need--that we are needy. And Christ is sufficient. A testimony is to his sufficiency, his faithfulness, day in and day out. He promises that we will suffer actually, but he will never leave us or forsake us. And we still wrestle against our sin nature. And he keeps on forgiving, and healing.

I felt dumb...still a bad attitude on my part. But one woman, who honestly feels like one of the people who has made my life difficult, came up to me afterwards and thanked me for my thoughts and we just had the best conversation. I was nervous and it ended up being wonderful.

And the rest of church was still hard. My heart weighs heavy for my husband being sick during harvest, and I don't know what to do about it. But I'm glad I went. I got more support, reached out for some more help this week, and I was able to help someone else. Life is messy. God is good.

If you're single and desire to get married:

Don't look for someone who will "complete you", and put you first.

Look for someone who is already complete in Christ, and puts Jesus first.

@chipgaines Same in our family. Third grandson going off to college is just as hard on grand mamas as well as mamas.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

If we’re Jesus followers, it is crucial that we not despise those who despise us or treat with unkindness those who are unkind. To do so requires determination. Real work. A proactive mindset. The choice to be energized by the Spirit. Nothing about it will come naturally to us.

@BethMooreLPM Praying there will be many miracles. Their mama’s hearts…..

@NancyAFrench I had the honor of dressing her hair one time in Houston in the early 70s. Such a lovely lady.

@SenMarkKelly As the daughter of an Air Force dad who served 31 years as a liaison pilot (WW2) and subsequently in recon and intelligence, everything you’ve expressed is truth. Thank you sir for your continued service.

@JackQuillinTV Be sure you hug your Mimi’s neck for me. We’ve known each other a very long time since Sugarland.

[Alice R. Larkin @Larksrose]

@garonnevik Been there and done that for my dad as well. I wholeheartedly agree with you all celebrations and funeral services should happen immediately.

[Alice R. Larkin @Larksrose]

@JackQuillinTV I’m thinking, Linda and Neil might appreciate having you closer to home

We want to clear up any misinformation regarding our deployment to Southern California. Please see our statement below.

I immediately approved Governor Newsom’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration, allowing folks impacted by the Southern California wildfires to get cash assistance to cover things like groceries and medicine.
