✨I’m celebrating big today — it’s my mama’s 80th birthday and I couldn’t be happier!😍 Through the years, when I pictured her at 80, I could never have imagined that she would still be driving to Atlanta, cooking big holiday meals, and doing yard work like someone less than half her age! I thank God everyday for her good health and sharp mind. We have so many special memories that only she and I share. I am so grateful that my children and grandchildren know and love their Memaw. We are so blessed to have her in our lives! Happy Birthday, Mama…we love you very much!🥳

An old friend recently shared something so beautif An old friend recently shared something so beautiful that I’ve thought about it every single day since. I can’t think of anything more meaningful to share with you on this Resurrection Sunday.✝️

🙏🏻I’ve always defined prayer as a constant conversation with God. And then I read this 🤯:

There was a moment when Moses had the nerve to ask God what His name is. God was gracious enough to answer, and the name He gave is recorded in the original Hebrew as YHWH.

Over time we’ve arbitrarily added an “a” and an “e” in there to get YaHWeH, presumably because we have a preference for vowels. 

But scholars and rabbi have noted that the letters YHWH represent breathing sounds, or aspirated consonants. When pronounced without intervening vowels, it actually sounds like breathing. 

YH (inhale): WH (exhale). 

So a baby’s first cry, his first breath, speaks the name of God. A deep sigh calls His name – or a groan or gasp that is too heavy for mere words. Even an atheist would speak His name, unaware that their very breath is giving constant acknowledgment to God. 

Likewise, a person leaves this earth with their last breath ~ when God’s name is no longer filing their lungs. So when I can’t utter anything else, is my cry calling out His name?

Being alive means I speak His name constantly. So, is it heard the loudest when I’m the quietest?

In sadness, we breathe heavy sighs. In joy, our lungs feel almost like they will burst. In fear we hold our breath and have to be told to breathe slowly to help us calm down. 
When we’re about to do something hard, we take a deep breath to find our courage. 

When I think about it, breathing is giving Him praise ~ even in the hardest moments! 

This is so beautiful and fills me with emotion every time I grasp the thought. God chose to give Himself a name that we can’t help but speak every moment we’re alive.

✝️Happy Easter✨Just breathe ~ He is risen!💜

How I Designed the Dressing Room of My Dreams

Exhibit A: the little girl pictured in the frame above — that’s five-year-old me posing in my first negligee! Long before social media and selfies, I fantasized… Read More
