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!
