The Impact of 1!

The first few days here in Kingsland,TX have been eventful and filled with excitement,joy,and fun, but also with grief, sorrow,and tough situations.

Tuesday night I was able to arrive early and surprise the Kizer girls and see the Kirksey family! It was a sweet time of being reunited! They so bless my heart!

Wednesday I jumped in with both feet-got started right away! I spent some time at the church with Shelley just learning the church and where everything is and the daily schedule( did I just say schedule??!! lol... everyday will be different and bring new events and challenges- I love it!!!)Afterwards Shelley,Ann, and I went to lunch. I then was able to spend a few hours in the prayer room here which has become my new favorite place! It had been a great day!

Wednesday afternoon I went with the youth to a memorial for a precious boy who lost his life on Sunday. Although I did not know him, I was very touched by the testimonies and stories of how he impacted so many and how dearly he loved our Jesus! How beautiful to be able to reflect on and rejoice because of the life this precious boy lived! Through the testimony of a teacher that spoke, this boy reminded me of something so very important that I believe we so often look over and forget:

Even if all you do only affects 1 person, if it only changes one persons life.... If all the work, all the prayers, all the love..etc only changes one persons life... It's worth it!!!!

I think so often we want to reach crowds and do the "big" stuff- but it's in the small things that great impact is birthed! Small beginnings bring big endings!! So let's be reminded today that even the small things matter- even if it only impacts one person or changes one persons life- IT'S WORTH IT... So go be that change to that one person that God places in your path today!!! Nothing that you do for the kingdom or in love is too small or insignificant- and you never know if you could be the one person to cross another's path today that could change their life forever... Go be a light!!!!!

Although this boy had the outlook to change one life at a time- he impacted many and I believe that is bc he took the time to invest into each individual and made them all feel loved,accepted,and wanted. I too believe we should do that with those that the Lord crosses our paths with!

So thankful for this reminder through testimonies of the life he lived!

I ask that you all join me in praying for the Buttery family as they grieve the loss of their son! Also pray for the many friends he left behind as well.


The Lord gives and The Lord takes away, blessed be the name of The Lord. Job 1:21

Texas Time!

Hey guys!
After several hundred miles, almost hitting two dogs and driving through a tornado, I finally made it to my first stop in Texas!:) I am so incredibly happy to be here! For the next two days I will be spending time with Natalie(who has become one of my best friends) and her family which supported me on my run across the US. These next few days are going to be full of rest, fun, laughter, and fellowship!
Wednesday I will be traveling to Kingsland which is where I will spend most of my time while I am here in Texas! I am so ready to be there and so expectant of all The Lord has in store!

Today I ask that you join me in prayer:

Upon arriving yesterday I received a text informing me that one of the teens from here lost his life. I ask that each of you join me in praying for this boys family and friends. I also ask you to pray for those ministering to the ones he left behind and those affected.

I love you guys! More posts to come!!

Storms and Rainbows

Hey all, sorry for the lack of posts lately! And this one will be short and lack detail but I'll get back to posting in the next few days! Late Saturday night I went to the ER and ended up having surgery to have a cyst removed and it has turned out to be a bigger deal than anticipated.However, I am feeling good today and on the road to recovery!!!

This week has been one of the longest weeks of my life but man has it been incredible despite the surgery sickness and pain!! Because of this I feel as though my family has been brought closer together and closer to God and for that I am EXTREMELY grateful!!! God is good ALL the time! Amen??!!!! God has taught me so much through this all and after a challenging week I get to end it by starting a vacation to Florida... what a light at the end of the tunnel.

If I've learned one thing or been reminded of anything important during all this is that despite your position,placement,health,situation or circumstance- one thing that remains constant is Jesus! How awesome to know that no matter what- He is going to be there in the highest of times and He is going to be there in the lowest of times!!!!
HIS LOVE NEVER FAILS,NEVER GIVES UP,NEVER RUNS OUT ON US!!!! So whether you are facing a storm or a rainbow today- know that God is right there- YOU CAN COUNT ON HIM when you have nothing and you can count on him when you have everything!!! Lean on him!!!! He is our rock!!!!
