Hi, my name is Brently and I miss people😭I haven’t posted anything really in regards to COVID-19. Partially because it still doesn’t seem real. Partially because it’s affected me more than I care to admit. The reality is, this hurts. I’m an extrovert, an enneagram 2, and I feel called to serve others. Dustin often … Continue reading We’re all struggling

Still.
I’ve held on to this for a week now... “The Lord will fight for you, and you must be quiet.” Existed 14:14 “Now, therefore, present yourselves and see this great thing that the Lord will do before your eyes.” 1 Samuel 12:16 “To seek to lead a quiet life, … Continue reading Still.
Certainty in the uncertainty
This time of year is hard for many of us. This will be the first year we go through the holidays without my Mawmaw and my heart has felt broken more than I care to admit. Just this morning, I woke up from a dream so real with her, and I felt the … Continue reading Certainty in the uncertainty
Girl, stop “washing your face”
This is going to be a very unpopular opinion, and I’m okay with that... I was there. I read the book and I bought into it. I fell prey into believing that I am in control and that what others think of me should never matter. I believed the lie that I should be … Continue reading Girl, stop “washing your face”
Have a team focus outside of sports
You may not be a football fan, and that’s okay. But I think we learn important lessons through sports. Today, my family and I sat and watched an emotional Saints game. I know there’s a lot of people who don’t understand that, but there is a lot of pride for the team who represents your … Continue reading Have a team focus outside of sports
Love yourself always
I vividly remember when I was in the sixth grade and a girl who is a few years older hardcore laughed at me because of my eyes. I was standing there, waiting for my mom to come pick me up, and she looked at me, chuckled and said, “Your eyes are practically black.” … Continue reading Love yourself always
Starting the new year strong
It's funny, isn't it? How we build up the end of the year to this one big moment where the clock strikes twelve, you kiss your love (or dog…), shout out "Happy New Year" and then go to bed? You have family traditions like black eyed peas and cabbage and a day of relaxation. You … Continue reading Starting the new year strong
It doesn’t all end at 21
I turn 22 today. People often say after your 21st there's not really another monumental birthday. After that, you dread each one because it's a sign you're getting older. But quite honestly, I don't dread getting older. That may just have something to do with my being a wife and mother so I feel anywhere … Continue reading It doesn’t all end at 21
Top 5 blog posts of 2018
If you have known me for awhile, you know that I used to be the least sentimental person EVER. But then my heart grew three sizes and I became an emotional fruit basket. (Full disclosure: I don't actually know where that phrase came from but my sister and I used to call my mom that … Continue reading Top 5 blog posts of 2018
A month full of thankfulness?
It has been a month since I have sat back and poured into this blog. Actually, it's been a month since I've truly taken time to reflect on all that has been going on for our family. We're in a season of chaos... Actually, I feel like mine and Dustin's relationship has always included chaos, … Continue reading A month full of thankfulness?
