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
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.
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
I was you. I laughed at the thought of using essential oils to support my health. I thought it was silly that someone could be so concerned about what they're putting on their skin. I thought it was unnecessary to worry about what you clean with since the goal was to get rid of germs. … Continue reading Stop instilling false fear
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”
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
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
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
In efforts to be transparent, I'm going to share something with you, my friends. I have started this blog post again and again, but I always become a little overwhelmed (or a lot overwhelmed) and I quit. Like, what did I do to deserve such a supportive and loving group to do life with? … Continue reading The blessing of true fellowship
Do the hard things. I wish people gave each other that advice more. We as a society always say things like, "Follow your dreams," and "Do your best work," and "Don't give up," but rarely — if ever — have I ever been told to do the hard things. We as a society have become … Continue reading Do the hard things
