The North Carolina Mountain Vacation that Disappeared!

The North Carolina Mountain Vacation that Disappeared!

By Marty Walden · 4 Comments

How do ten months disappear into oblivion, never to be seen again? I remember as a child just cringing when my parents would say, time flies. When you’re eight years old and enduring summer vacation, time seems to crawl by at a snails pace! Now as an adult I pray for the privilege of being bored! Just one day of… Read More

A Southern Snow and Cute Puppy Pictures

By Marty Walden · 6 Comments

(Note: I was working on this post last weekend but the news of my brother-in-law’s sudden cardiac arrest changed everything. As he clings to life our family clings to hope in God and we still covet your prayers.) I’m born and bred Southern, y’all. And I actually use the word y’all in everyday language. All.the.time. But somehow along the way I… Read More

Bethel Music “We Dance”: Simple Gift Sunday

Bethel Music “We Dance”: Simple Gift Sunday

By Marty Walden · Leave a Comment

  This is a sweet, sweet song that’s new to me. As usual I found it when listening to my Ipod, relaxing in the rocking chair that holds memories of babies rocked, books read, with debates and long talks finishing out many a day. There is just a passion in this Bethel Music “We Dance” video that I know I’m sharing it… Read More

Hillsong “Stronger”: Simple Gift Sunday

Hillsong “Stronger”: Simple Gift Sunday

By Marty Walden · 8 Comments

  Every Sunday for the past two years I have linked up a youtube worship video of some kind, whatever God was laying on my heart that week. My desire is still just to use Sundays as a time of reflection on faith and family. Some Sundays you might find a video here and sometimes it might just be writing about… Read More

Elevation Worship “Grace So Glorious”: Simple Gift Sunday

Elevation Worship “Grace So Glorious”: Simple Gift Sunday

By Marty Walden · 3 Comments

   This song from Elevation Worship “Grace So Glorious” is such a great way to start the new week. I’m returning from vacationing at the beach with the family and enjoying some much needed time away from the pressures of “doing it all:” wife, mom, homeschool teacher, blogger, writer, soon to be nana.  I always put way more expectations on myself than God… Read More

Kutless “Carry Me to the Cross”: Simple Gift Sunday

Kutless “Carry Me to the Cross”: Simple Gift Sunday

By Marty Walden · 3 Comments

  Each week in these Simple Gift Sunday posts I try and share a word or inspiration that God has been impressing upon me during the week. Honestly, this week I’m just tired. Not feeling up to par. Run down. So I want to ask you, what is going on in your life right now?  What burdens do you need carried?… Read More

Sara Groves “Going Home”: Simple Gift Sunday
