I Want to Break Things Too! A Look at Easter through the life of “The Woman of Ill Repute”.

by · In: Encouragement, Original Music, Perspective, Uncategorized · on

Featuring “The Last Say” -Original music by Shelleen Weaver   Mary Magdalene is, hands down, my favorite female character in all of Scripture. When I get to Heaven, I’m going to spend the first thousand years captivated in the eyes of my Jesus. Then of course there will be the reunion of all my friends and loved ones who have gone on before. But then…then, I’m going to stalk Mary Magdalene. That’s right. She doesn’t know it yet, but we are going to be BFF’s. Here’s why. She adored Him. [Jesus] Most of us have been taught that she was …

“Overwhelm Me” – Featuring Original Music by Shelleen

by · In: Encouragement, Original Music, Perspective, Silence, Worship · on

Silence doesn’t come naturally to me. I love to talk, I love to laugh, and I love to sing. And if I’m in a confined space where it might be annoying to do so, I usually can’t help but hum. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy the quiet. I prefer silence over white or background noise. I have relented to my husband’s need to sleep with a fan on, but oh, how I miss falling asleep to a peeper and cricket chorus drifting through the open window on the breath of the cool night air. What I’m saying is …

More! More! (Featuring “Baby Steps” – Original Music by Shelleen Weaver)

by · In: Blog, Original Music, Perspective, Uncategorized · on

If you have been following my blog, you likely realize that I’m on an odyssey of sorts. The farther I delve into this journey, the more epic I am realizing it is. With every passing year, I am gaining a bit more perspective on the reality that this span of time allotted to each of us in different, unknown quantities is a mere breath of eternity. As this realization grows, the more hyper-focused I am becoming at discovering all that God has deposited in me, His reasons for doing so, and the avenues by which He plans to bring those …

Shine On Harvest Moon (Featuring “Indeed” – Original Music by Shelleen)

by · In: Blog, Encouragement, Original Music, Perspective · on

My husband Tom and I could be a case study on how opposites attract. Years ago, I dubbed him with the title: “The Man of No Reaction”. (I might even have written a song about him by that name…{snicker!}) He is a deep thinker and processes internally. I, on the other hand, feel deeply and process verbally. One is not right, and the other wrong; just opposite. Some of you have asked me why I refer to myself as a Girdle Burr and Beauty Hunter in the poem on the home page of my website. Well here’s what I mean by …

Holy Fruitopia! -Featuring “Time” -original music by Shelleen

by · In: Blog, Encouragement, Original Music, Perspective · on

Last month I spent a day with my friend Erica. She lives right on the Susquehanna River, and our goal that day was to kayak across to an island where there is a natural wading pool area to swim in. However, the river is particularly high this year, and since we had my little guy along, we decided to just paddle around near the bank for his sake, then spend the day hiking. Her house is banked right in the side of a mountain that backs up to 300 acres of land owned by the Boy Scouts. When Erica and …

The “Blessed” Is Yet To Come! Featuring “Come Away” & “Confide in Me” – Original Music by Shelleen

by · In: Blog, Encouragement, Original Music, Perspective, Worship · on

I was a child myself when I had my first child, which perhaps is a story for another day. There are pros and cons to everything, but suffice it to say that entering motherhood at the tender age of 18, having another at 24, then being a single-mom for a few years nbefore adding my caboose at 34 has never allowed me much in the way of down time. I don’t regret for a moment all the time invested in my children. In fact, I often long to hit rewind and rock my babies to sleep once more. But with …

For Those Who Quietly Mourn on Mothers Day. -Featuring “Lullaby My Baby” ~Original Music by Shelleen

by · In: Blog, Encouragement, Original Music, Perspective, Uncategorized · on

While many of us will be celebrating the gift of having and/or being mothers this Mother’s Day, I want to speak to those who mourn quietly in the shadows. For those of you whose mothers have passed away, no matter what your age, loosing a mother leaves a tremendous void. And to those who have known the tragedy of life in reverse, where you, the parent buried your child, just attempting to imagine your heartache is honestly beyond my emotional comfort zone. I personally have had a small glimmer of what that is like. My husband and I cared for …

Somebody needs to hear this… (featuring “Redemption Song” -original music by Shelleen)

by · In: Blog, Encouragement, Original Music, Perspective · on

  Every time I proof-read over this post I am riding the delete button. God is impressing on my heart that tonight, it is better to let my words be few, and instead allow Him to communicate through the language of music. So I’m breaking all the “blog rules” and resisting the temptation to spew all that wants to bubble out through my fingers; No pretty pictures that will delay me getting out this post either. I feel like someone out there needs it now. God gave me this song ten days ago, and all I want to do is …

It’s Getting Deep… (Featuring original music by Shelleen)

by · In: Blog, Encouragement, Original Music, Perspective, Worship · on

When I was 16 I got the invitation to be in a pageant. Those of you who knew me then (and now) know that I am pretty much the antonym of “pageant girl”. I grew up in what we called “the sticks”, and was far more comfortable with an audience watching me slam a basketball down a court, than I was dancing in a production number. I still only wear make-up about twice a week, and I was (and remain at times) about as unpolished as a bucket in a horse barn. The first time I got the invite, I …

The Power of Worship Through Pain (Featuring Original Music by Shelleen)

by · In: Encouragement, Original Music, Perspective, Worship · on

“Well, all we can do now is pray.” We’ve all heard this phrase. Perhaps it’s escaped from your own lips; most likely when you’ve exhausted your own resources and strength in whatever battle you are fighting. If you are willing, read on…I’d like to shed some perspective, then add a twist onto that statement if I could. Ponder with me for a moment… Is prayer some sort of desperate last resort that we pull from the bottom of our emergency kit when nothing else in our power can be done? Certainly not. That being said, when I hear the words, …
