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
Welcome to my website! I enjoy my home in beautiful East Tennessee where I write, speak, hike :-), and love my family.
I am writing my 2012 website intro at the same time I am preparing to see my youngest son off to Afghanistan after his recent
furlough. Another painful goodbye. And more hours of seeking God for his safety. I am ever so thankful for a sovereign, Almighty God who goes
before us as our Shield and Defender . . . in an enemy war zone or in our everyday world. “The battle belongs to the Lord.” (2 Chronicles
20:15)
I look forward to another year of writing and speaking (and hopefully another book). I am always amazed at the doors God opens
and His patience in pushing me through.
Recently, my patient Father in heaven has reminded me that I am still very much a work in progress. This year He would have
me grow as a “grace-giver”. I sometimes see in myself failure to extend His own gentle grace in the dailyness of life to those who may need
it the most. I am trusting the One Who “began a good work in me to complete it” (Philippians 1:6).
Come grow with me! And let me know what He is doing in your life.
