Welcome to my online journal!
I have always felt as though God has called me to do something for the family business, but do NOT know what that looks like at this time.
I decided to journal my days in hopes to find that purpose. I share my thoughts, stories, and dreams in the process!
I love photography and started this journey with pictures I have taken. Then, after sifting through old family photos, I started to add pictures of me when I was little.
The pictures of my youth will come to end one day. I’m sure God has a plan for when the treasured pictures are no more!
At first, I was writing EVERY day! I just felt I had to get one made daily to accomplish a goal.
During Christmas 2019, on a trip home to see my dad, I stopped writing daily. When I was home, I felt this overwhelming call to just REST! I slept and my pajamas and I became good friends (well for most of the trip, I had to get dressed to go eat a Grouper Burger and Fish Spread-just saying!)
After I arrived back home, I decided that I needed to cut back. I need time to spend with Him and started to focus on reading the word more so, now I write just once a week.
I hope you will follow me on this trail I’m on called Dreaming Out-Loud. I’m sure the scenic overlooks along the path will be amazing!
Many Blessings,
Kathleen
P.S. I started this journey on Facebook and I’m in the process of adding over nearly 60 posts to my website. Please be patient with me as I transfer all my writings over to the this site. I felt led to start on Facebook and now want to add them to my website in hopes it will reach someone who needs to hear a word from the Lord that does not do Social Media. Thank you!
Dreaming Out-Loud: Identity – Who Am I Really?
Identity is the word running through my mind today. Identity: The fact of being who or what a thing is. Fact: a thing that is known or to be true. True: loyal or faithful. I love to look at a definition not to find the meaning but for meaning, does that make sense? Maybe finding my purpose …
Dreaming Out-Loud: His Creative Genes!
On the trek I’m on to find my purpose, I keep hearing in my mind over and over that I want it to involve something creative! What does that look like? What kind of talent has God created in me that I can use to help others hear Him? I can’t sing (well, I sure can alone in my car.) I can’t play a musical instrument (when I was little my piano teacher told me she had kindergartners …

Dreaming Out-Loud: First Goal Accomplished!
Day 1 goals complete! I jumped into bed and turned the lights out 30 minutes early and set the alarm to get up 30 minutes earlier and I accomplished both! Did I sleep all night- No. Was I tired and groggy the next morning – Yes! But I did it and accomplished the goal. With a cup of coffee in hand this morning, I sat down to read His word. I’m in Jeremiah and reading about …
Dreaming Out-Loud: Mountain of Work
As I wake and think about the goal I placed on myself yesterday, I’m focused on the mountain of work I need to complete today! How do I find the time to add more to my list? The weekend away has caused me to be behind. Deadlines at work, errands to run, and paperwork that HAS to be done in order for our business to run are just to name a few….
