Greetings Readers,

Posted on April 21, 2023 by Kelly Harris

First, I’d like to thank you for visiting. I hope today finds you rejoicing in the good things that you have been blessed with. If not, if today has you feeling less than blessed I pray you can connect with someone you know, a local to you church, or the Lord Himself through His Word in prayer and know you are not alone.

The current plans are to keep this particular website rather simple. A place for my works and projects to be accessible to the general public. In essence I am pushing a restart button after God brought about a level of conviction for me to, “Not let my grief to become bigger than Him.” Following my daughter and mothers promotion into eternal life. Resting on His Word I Suppose with Reassurance Over Strife Endured and hope to help others through coming works.

Working author bio is as follows:

Christian, wife, and stay home mom out of Schertz, Texas, Kelly May Harris longs to help others dive beyond surface level in relationships. Fueled by support of family and close relationships from childhood, through college, on into marriage, parenthood and loss, Kelly’s’ passion reignited “not to let grief become bigger than God.” Harris hopes through her writing, readers, young and young at heart, see Love wins.  

I look forward to walking out this journey with Jesus through writing and will update this page with new information and updates. Prayerfully the first new work will be available by Fathers Day!

A note about the photo, this is one of my absolute favorites of my three closest girls. They were just sitting out on the back porch talking together one beautiful evening. Lord how I miss this sight yet Your Word reassures me and with that I can stand grateful for these moments. Thank You!

What’s Bugging You?

Posted on October 19, 2023 by Kelly Harris

Early morning and I’m spending it at the lake. Specifically Lake Yale in Leesville, Florida. It’s a writers conference. I’m surrounded by people, all with a heart for the Lord, honing their craft for what their Creator would have each of them create next. Truly many beautiful souls.

Upon arrival yesterday I see a cross beside a peer facing the eastern horizon and know exactly where I’ll be the next couple mornings.

As the stars were tucked in for their slumber complete with birds singing lullabies, the hues in the distance did nothing to disappoint. It seemed one ray of sunshine at a time joined the next.

Then just like life distractions came. Specifically pesky winged bats, errr mosquitoes, graced the morning prayer and beauty to suck the life out of me. Just like He always does, God found a way to bring a question to mind and lovingly walk me to His Word.

“What’s bugging you as you journey to carry the cross? Or what’s bigger, your “bug” or my love? Lift up your head child. My love is more.”

I toyed with that concept the rest of the morning. Moved myself closer to the cross so that my field of view could not see past the horizontal stretching wood.

“Hold Me closer. As far as the east is from the west my child.”

I’m taking refuge in Psalm 73 today. Verses 23-26.

Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me into glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever. (NIV)
