Walking with a purpose

The older you get the more your heart craves for genuine friendships that feed not just your heart but your soul. I can remember my senior year of college and in all in chaos of everything I had going on God gave me four girls who lived together who adopted me into their home. They were the friends that I called on for silly things like a walk to chapel on my chapel days. They were the shoulders I cried on when golf was not going well and they were my BIGGEST supporters when it was. They were my C O M M U N I T Y in a world of chaos. Abbey, Kayla, Laine, and Laura were my college community. So naturally when the last bag was in my parent’s rental and I hugged Mama Wig (Kayla’s Mom) goodbye I could not help but feel like I was leaving so much of myself in the city of Montgomery. Two weeks later I started my internship with HEB and my first day in the store I was talking to my store director and we were sharing a little bit about our lives and I told her how I was struggling ...

I did not trust anyone with my pain. It was not until I was in college that I learned of the true calling God had placed on my life. I could in fact be whole if I asked him for it.  “He heals the brokenhearted...

When I started writing these blogs I never in a hundred years thought they would turn into this place for me. A place of comfort where I began to share my hurt and insecurities. So recently when I decided to start this series called Masterpiece I knew I was going to have to search deep in the barrows of what I thought were healed wounds in order to be a true blessing to someone.  I went on a date a few weeks back. The guy seemed nice leading up to us meeting for dinner. So we met up. He said he had to go to the restroom and I waited and he never returned. As I walked outside to get in my car and collect my life, I see him driving off. I called him, no answer. I proceeded to text him and his response was crippling "I thought you would be prettier in person" Those words were burned in my mind forever.  Have you ever been stuck? I am not ta...
