Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; that my soul may sing praise to thee and not be silent.
Psalm 30: 11-12

 

He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
Revelations 21:5

Welcome to the website of Lettie Kirkpatrick Burress.

Lettie writes from her home overlooking the East Tennessee and North Georgia mountains.  Her favorite activity is hiking the trails in those beautiful mountains.

I’ve been waiting for several days to get “inspired” to write my new website intro. And, truthfully, I’m still waiting. But like any writer, I know that sometimes we must write even without inspiration. So, here goes.

2008 was a tough year for many people economically and emotionally. There were lots of goodbyes to people I had known for a long time. Yet it was also a good year for me as Glimpses of Grace was really well received. Thanks to many of you who have shared how the book touched your life. Comments That has been a blessing and encouragement.

I’ve got a couple of more books waiting to make it out, I hope to see a beginning to that this year. I’m also writing for some new markets, that is always a challenge, and I look forward to seeing where God takes my speaking ministry . . . just ask me, I might come. J And, as with most of the rest of the world, finding time to live well is a real challenge.

I asked God to give me a Word of direction this year. I think the mandate I received is to grow, learning to “do all things without murmuring or complaining that I may prove myself to be a child of God in the middle of a crooked and depraved generation in which we should shine like the stars in the universe” (Philippians 2: 14-16 ). I’ll be working on that for a while!

I recently participated in a Facebook 25 Things about Yourself expose'. I was pretty transparent, so I’ve posted it on my About me page. You might enjoy meeting me "up close and personal" J

Enjoy 2009! Stay the course with the One who knows the way we go. (Job 23:10) And if you need a break, consider our cabin!
