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.

My website has a new look, I have a new book coming out, and I have just bought a new-to-me cabin in the mountains.  I have a new daughter-in-law and I even have a new grandson who hasn’t made it to the site pictures.  He’ll be here soon so check the photos.  His name is Gavin and, like his brother J.D., he is a charmer. But they have distinctively different and unique charms J

It sounds like God is truly doing a few “new things” in my direction.  I thought perhaps it was time to write a new intro as well.  These are good days for us and God is blessing us in countless ways.  But the truth is, God blesses even in not-so-good days which is why my speaking ministry is called Holding Forth Hope and why I am excited about my very personal book Glimpses of Grace: Stories of Hope.  It is who God is --- our hope-giver.

I trust this season of your life is full of blessing.  But even more, I trust your life is filled with Him.
