3 Reasons This Blog HAD to Happen (or What's up with that page title?)

1.  GRACE-

  Before you know anything else about me, you need to know one thing.  I am a believer.  I have been given the gift of God’s grace through salvation.  I am not going to beat anyone over the head with my Bible, but it is important that you know where I stand.  I am by no means perfect, but I know what I’ve experienced, and I think I should share it.  There is definitely room for more positive talk out in the world.  God has blessed me beyond measure with a healthy, happy life, a wonderful family, and the opportunity to watch some pretty crazy dreams come true.  So it’s my sincere hope that someone will find a little hope, a little encouragement, a little GRACE in my chatter.  From time to time, I’ll share a scripture, a song, a quote I find inspirational.

Inspiration dwells in quiet places.

2.  GUITARS-

If you clicked the link above, you heard my super-talented husband on GUITAR and me doing what I love most in the world to do- sing!  And if you aren’t sold on grace yet, throw this in your blender and see if it comes out a smoothie.  I am a shy, afraid-of-everything, super-nerd who is not comfortable in crowds.  My husband is an athletic, outgoing, outdoorsman who believes you can do ANYTHING you want to do—I don’t mean he’s one of those people who says he believes it—I mean he’ll flat-out get up and just do it while other people (like me) are still scratching their heads thinking about how it might not work.  He got his hands on a guitar when he was a teenager, had few lessons, and hasn’t stopped perfecting his skill since.  GUITARS are a HUGE part of our life and our living. 

When I first fell in love with him, he was playing and singing a song he co-wrote.  After a date, he wanted to play a song for me.  As his unique voice and skillful playing filled the kitchen, it filled up my heart.  I knew at that moment: He’s the ONE. 

Now years later, together, we write songs, record, perform, lead music—it’s what we do.

3.      RED DIRT-

I think our life is unique because even though we really enjoy performing often and in a lot of venues, home and family is VERY important to us.  We look forward to the moment we bump back down our RED DIRT drive.  We love being together at home, surrounded by our loved ones, eating a good healthy meal.   

There's Red Dirt at the End of Our Rainbow

We worked really hard for our piece of RED DIRT and we enjoy country living so much.  This land provides us with so much… from inspiration, to sweaty work, to food for the table, and a spacious place to enjoy life.  We love it out here.  It’s our gym and our playground; our refuge and our meeting place.  Out here we’ve learned that having something takes hard work, and that sometimes, it’s best to use what you’ve got instead of getting more.
