The Bridges.

Some stories are written long before we ever get to live them.

This weekend we gathered with our family and friends to celebrate the most beautiful chapter yet, in a familiar place where our story began and where love found us again.

Our hearts are full. What a weekend. What a blessing. What a beautiful beginning.

Hey Family,

Today is my birthday. 🎂

And as I begin another trip around the sun, I found myself reflecting on the many versions of me that have existed to get here.

The little girl from #Mississippi whose parents taught her the value of faith, family, hard work, and service.

The young woman who left home for #SpelmamCollege, carrying dreams bigger than she fully understood.

The #therapist, educator, wife, mother, and advocate who has spent years helping others navigate life’s transitions while navigating a few of her own.

If I’ve learned anything, it’s that life is rarely one thing at a time.

It can hold joy and grief.
Certainty and questions.
Celebration and reflection.
Healing and #becoming.

There have been seasons I would have gladly skipped and seasons I wished I could relive forever. There have been moments that stretched me, humbled me, challenged me, and reminded me of just how FAITHFUL God has been.

And through it all, I’ve continued to grow.

Today, I wanted to share a little more of my story. Not because I have it all figured out, but because every chapter has taught me something worth carrying forward.

These slides capture a little of what’s shaped me, what I’ve survived, what I’ve learned, what brings me joy, and what I’m looking forward to in this season.

Thank you for walking this journey with me.

As I celebrate another birthday, I am grateful for every lesson, every transition, every unexpected turn, and every reminder that God is still writing my story.

Being on the water led me to reflect on how deeply I trust God—with me, my life, and my gifts.

My resolve: “Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders.” 🌊🙏🏽

As you take a moment to reflect today, what’s your resolve?

There are not enough words to capture yesterday’s experience as we celebrated my husband’s 5th Pastoral Anniversary. From start to finish, we felt the full gamut of emotions—all wrapped in praise to our Most Holy and Gracious God and gratitude for the man of the hour!!! 🙌🏽

Thank you again to our family, friends, and church family for celebrating us and celebrating with us. Your presence, love, and support made the day even more meaningful.

Sweetheart, I am grateful, I am humbled, and I am excited . . . “Entreat me not to leave you” . . . you know the rest. 🥰

Again, Happy 5th Pastoral Anniversary! ❤️

Oh, and I’ll probably share more photos over the week but this was my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE photo! Thanks @thee_charity_faith for capturing this perfect moment! 🙏🏽🙌🏽🥰

WHAT HELPED ME HEAL ❤️‍🩹

One thing I did consistently during my healing journey…

I wrote down:

“The Promises of God for Me NOW.”

Then I searched for scriptures that spoke directly to what I needed in that season.

When I needed peace, I found His promises about peace.

When I needed comfort, I found His promises about comfort and HIM being near me.

When I needed direction, I found His promises about wisdom and guidance.

When I felt rejected, I reminded myself what God said about who I was and who HE was to me.

When I was afraid of my future, I found promises that reminded me that God was already there.

I wasn’t pretending that what I was experiencing wasn’t real.

I was reminding myself that what I was experiencing wasn’t the only truth.

My circumstances had something to say.

My emotions had something to say.

My fear had something to say.

But so did God!!!! #whew

And during my healing journey, I needed to keep His promises in front of me until what He said became louder than what I felt. ❤️‍🩹

The Promises of God for Me NOW.

Hey Y’all! Do you know that good things can be stressful, too! 🥴✨

As many of you know, I recently experienced one of the most amazingly beautiful moments of my life: our wedding celebration! But guess what??? It was stressful, too!!!! So much love, joy, and excitement… and so much to navigate.

It reminded me that we can be grateful AND overwhelmed. Excited AND tired. And I wanted to remind you, too.

Give yourself permission to rest, breathe, and receive support—even in a beautiful season. You deserve to enjoy the good you’re experiencing. 💛

Hey Y’all!!!!! I got A WORD today!!!! 🙌🏽😂🥰

Sometimes we miss out on blessings, gifts, and opportunities because we’re out of position. Where we are matters—and so does where God is calling us to be.

Stop forfeiting what belongs to you. Get in place. Get in position. There’s a blessing waiting for you there! 🙌🏽✨

A big thanks and shoutout to @1400_mustangs @murrah_bands1400!!! 🥰😘 by @allthingsdrlatoya

Becoming WELL doesn’t always feel good…
😩🫣😭🥴

But don’t you dare stop doing the different, uncomfortable things that are helping you become well.

Keep going. Keep growing. Keep becoming.
It’s worth it. 👍🏽💪🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🥰

Though our vows had already been exchanged, we wanted to gather our family and friends to celebrate this beautiful chapter with us.

And what a celebration it was! From our first look and the heartfelt words and prayers spoken over us to the very last dance, we felt surrounded by so much love.

To the incredible team who worked so lovingly—both in front of the scenes and behind them—to bring our vision to life, we cannot thank you enough. Your time, care, creativity, and attention to every detail helped make our day everything we hoped it would be.

And to everyone who showed up, shared in our joy, and celebrated with us—thank you! 🥂🤍

Love has a way of taking you on a journey . . . but somehow, it leads you right where you’re meant to be. 🤍

We kept our moment close for a while, and now we’re so happy to share a little more of our celebration with you.

We spend so much time trying to perfect our roles, schedules, presentations—even ourselves.

But perfection requires being without flaw, and that’s an impossible standard.

What is possible? Being good.

Good in our character.
Good in our morals.
Good in our values.
Good in how we treat people.
And willing to grow when we get it wrong.

The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is to be good. 🩵

🌿 Pause & Reflect: What if you traded the pressure to be perfect for the intention to be good? 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🥰

Until next time…Be Well.
