I first think of the very beginning of this year. My family had been in Smithfield for the day, spending time together, Darby and I getting our nails done, and all of us trying to track down a family friend in a nursing home. My family arrived home, and my grandparents showed up to help [...]
Opening my Bible to Scripture describing Jesus’ death on the cross, I hesitated in wanting to read it. Thinking about Jesus dying for me seemed sad. Every year my church hosts an Easter play showing the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. I work in the nursery with precious kids! We sometimes have a [...]
Driving home from my community college yesterday, intense pressure from the Lord laid upon my chest. It was a moment with the Lord in awe of seeing His hands at work in my life even more. I know my Father is faithful, and looking back over our journey together always confirms that. I have been [...]
One of the most intense things I was praying through over the summer was what to do with my girls Bible study! As a senior at a brand new school, the Lord constantly kept showing me reasons why I was placed where I was. Before leaving the school I had grown up in, the Holy [...]
Here is the Truth. I have true Hope. I experienced a love that was in full motion for me before the earth was created. My Heavenly Father knew I would be hard to love, yet, He sent His perfect Son to stand in my sinful place. Jesus knew you and I had the option of [...]

I’m sitting on the beach hearing every wave crash onto the shore. People are swimming and are obviously [...]
There are different seasons in a year. If we cling onto summer, tanning lotion, backyard cookouts, beach trips, sleeping in, and flexible schedules, we will miss out on what God has for us in the fall. We will not be able to enjoy the pumpkin spice lattes (or whatever you drink from coffee shops), flannels, [...]
Today is my last day before graduating!!! I’m so excited and ready! Yet, I’m not seeking to rush the plans God has ahead. Before starting high school, I made a commitment with the Lord that I wasn’t going to date over the four years. Instead of seeing graduation as a time of breaking free from [...]
Oh my! God is so good to me! Today is National Day of Prayer, and my school was honored to have Supreme Court Justice of North Carolina Mr. Newby come speak to us. His dear wife, Mrs. Macon, came and spoke as well. She didn’t speak out of her own strength. No, rather, her words [...]
