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. And
I would be so glad to hear from you.
As I move into another year of work and life, I look back on a busy year filled with both blessings and challenges. Some examples:
-
God pushed this introvert into a new place with writing and speaking opportunities -- open doors that both stretched and
stressed me.
-
A difficult goodbye as my 18 year old (Zane) departed for military service. It wasn't exactly the way I expected my nest
to empty. I am now praying him through the Psalms as he faces Summer deployment to Afghanistan.
-
We welcomed a new granddaughter, the first female in our Kirkpatrick family in a long while.
Sweet . . .
I also realized in the craziness of my days, I have stopped singing. So, in 2011, I have asked God to remind me that He is
my joy-giver and to give me back my songs. That should happen as I choose to draw near to Him, rest in Him, and remember His loving faithfulness.
As one of my friends wisely wrote, ''Sometimes we must remember that we are human beings, not humans doing".
May you also find His joy to be your strength and joy-fully sing your own songs as you glimpse His grace and renew your hope.
I would be grateful for your prayers for my Zane. And keep watch for two new books I hope to debut this year
