Working in radio for the last year had its perks. I met a lot of new people and made a really good friend thanks to my time there. It showed me what I *thought* I might have been missing since leaving 10 years ago, showed my kids how "cool" their mom can be and gave me an outlet when I lost my dad back in May, and for that, I am truly thankful. It also showed me that everything I could ever actually want or need, along with the most important work I will ever do, is at home.

Losing my dad taught me a lot, mainly, it taught me just how valuable and precious time is and that where (and how) you spend it, matters. My dad used to tell me (frequently) "your kids are only this age once" - and he's right, so if nothing else, I want to make sure I spend my time with them wisely. My family deserves my full attention and the best of me, which is why you won't be hearing me in the mornings anymore. I resigned several weeks ago, but actually letting go took longer than expected. As of today, I've officially stepped away and I'm looking forward to what's in store for this next season.

I want you to know that whether we ever actually talked and met or not, I prayed every morning to have the right words, the right tone, and the right attitude to be able to bring a bit of joy to your days. I hope I was able to do that.
Thank you so much for listening!

(& side note.. my kids think I'm even "cooler" now. 😎)

Jimmie Allen is going to be on with Big D & Bubba in a hour! Turn your radios ON to KICKS 99 - you don't wanna miss it, he's so good!

Speaking of Jimmy Allen, this song right here hits in such a sweet way. I'm missing my dad something fierce, it still doesn't feel real, but this song and the thought of him looking down smiling on us "down home" makes me smile. If you haven't heard it yet, here ya go, enjoy!

Father's Day is tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it. You see, this coming Tuesday will mark the one month anniversary of my dad going home to heaven to be with Jesus, and my heart is still incredibly sad, but he still deserves to be honored every day, especially on Father's Day.

This man right here.. he had such an influence on who I am. I'm so much like him, and I am truly thankful for that. All my life I've heard people say "you're just like your father" and I can't think of a better compliment.

This man taught me to stand up for what is right, no matter what it costs or who thinks otherwise. He taught me to be courageous. He taught me to think for myself. He taught me to live with integrity and the value of keeping your word, even when others don't. He taught me what hard work and dedication looks like. He taught me strength. He taught me how to let go, yet be strong and trust the good Lord when my brother left this earth. He taught me humility. He taught me compassion. He has influenced me more than he'll ever know.

I get my humor from him. I hope I have some of his wit. If I become half the person he was, I believe I will be doing good.

If your dad is still here, I want to encourage you to make time for him. Soak up his wisdom. Just be with him.

Even in his passing, my dad has taught me a valuable lesson. Time is priceless and once it's gone, you can't get it back. If there is something you want to do, do it. Live your life. Run your own race. Spend your time wisely.

Happy Father's Day to all of the dads out there.

I talked for a minute this morning about allowing pressures to build over summer & just not having fun.. I mentioned a verse in Ecclesiastes that really spoke to me this morning, so I thought I'd share it here as well, incase you need this too.

Eccesiastes 8:15

Have fun. Enjoy life. Experience some happiness along the way.
