“What’s that I hear about the 21st?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.

GUYS… I may be 10 days late but don’t fret I did not forget. September. I don’t have much to say to be entirely honest. It was a solid month. I feel like in a very interesting season of life. I have talked about it a little on here but it is very very transitional. Because of this very transitional season, I feel like I am changing so much. I find myself being prepared for a life much bigger than my own and I’m okay with it. Along with that I feel as though I am learning to be okay when plans change. When friends change. And when routines change. Life is still life. School is still school. People still talk and others still listen but what I can control is me and how much freedom I give God over the steering wheel of my life and can I just say? I HATE being in the driver seat. I am so thankful for how He is molding me. Even if it is difficult or making me do things I am scared of I am forever grateful. 
.
In this season I find myself forgiving people I never thought I could. I find myself mending relationships with friends I thought were broken forever and I find that my eyes are open wider than ever to the real issue at hand. The issue is not fighting between brothers and sisters in Christ. The issue is fighting the real enemy and working to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to every person no matter their background or their political affiliation or their beliefs or their relationships or what they have done or who they say they are. Our job is to love them and to show them the love of Jesus. To tell them the good news of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. THAT is what our priority should be right now. I thank God for helping me to realize that because realizing that has helped me let go of every minor offense. Every major heartbreak. Every grudge. Every trust issue. (Of course it is a daily release and death to the flesh) but it seems to be easier each time. 
.
I thank God for September and this changing season. Praise His Name Forever ♾️

So how do yall feel about oatmeal? 🤔

- happy happy birthday Erika Marie <3 -
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.
.
It’s my best friends birthday. This is NOT a drill. Her brain has developed and developed well. Yall this is a sentimental one. Caught myself crying finding pictures for her at 2 am because the love I feel is too vast to explain. Growing up I wondered what having a big sister would be like. God sent me Erika to show me. To know Erika is to know a friend. Someone down to earth. Genuine. And always there to listen. Through ups and downs she has demonstrated to me what friendships is supposed to look like. Though we disagree sometimes we always overcome it. She is the first friend I’ve ever had that stuck it out through a conflict or distant season with me. She didn’t leave. She didn’t blame me or hate me. She just… worked through it with me. That is the friend she is. 
.
I have known Erika since I was a freshman in college. Right out of homeschool thrown into an unknown place. College. I didn’t know anyone. But even before we even were friends she would be there to make sure I was okay. I could rant on her floor or ask for a hug. 5 years later and nothing has changed. We have only grown closer. I can confidently say that who I am is partly because of the friendship she has given me. Taught me so much. And the patience in which she loves me. 
.
Happy birthday to my best friend. My added sister. I truly thank God I get to know you. Live life with you. You are one of the most kindhearted people I know and I feel overwhelmed with gratitude that you choose to be my friend. My family. Happy happy birthday miss west. I pray 25 is the best year yet. I hope today you feel as celebrated as you deserve because nobody deserves more celebration than you. 
.
I love you always Erika! 🤍💕🏰 
.
Happy 25th birthday!!! Thank you for loving me. Thank you for every hard talk. Every late night convo. Every comfort. Every listening ear. Each laugh and each debate. I am thankful for each moment being your friend and I can’t wait to keep living life with you!

GUYS ITS GAVINS BIRTHDAY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY WOOOOO
.
.
.
Happiest of birthdays to the goofiest guy I know. Legitimately may be the funniest human to ever walk this earth. But aside from the fact that I WHEEZE laugh every time we hang out, he also has been one of the best friends and my favorite people since I met him. He is kind. Truly kind. And the best to talk to. He will defend your name in a room you aren’t in and he has no problem calling you out when you are wrong. I think we can all use a friend like that. 
.
Gavin is SO talented in all that he does. No. Literally ALL that he does but his humility always stands taller than any gift he demonstrates. Gavin can turn anything into a memory. I think that’s a gift worth having in a friend. I genuinely believe that being Gavin’s friend is like having a twin brother I never knew about 
.
Happy happy birthday Gavin Guynn. I hope this video made you laugh and if it didn’t… don’t kill me 😭 this is just a glimpse into who he is and what it’s like to know him. I pray this year is the best one yet Gavin. Filled with love and joy and even more laughter and shenanigans because if there’s one thing about Gavin… he will always shenan- again.
.
Okay bye bye now! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAVIN! WOOOO

suicide awareness 
.
21 years ago on this day someone very important left this world. The woman above is a woman by the name of Debra. I didn’t know her long.. but she means the world to me because she gave birth to my mom who means even more. My grandmother passed away suddenly with no warning and in a way that affected my mom and in turn my family forever. 21 years ago today my grandmother took her own life. I do not know what led up to it. Nobody knows where her brain was at but her and God but she left the earth and never got to meet her other grandchildren. Not my 2 siblings. Or my 3 cousins. She believed a lie that Satan whispered over and over that the best course of option was to end her life and so she did. Why am I telling you this? Because September is suicide awareness month. And I don’t think that we talk about suicide and its effects enough. More than 720,000 people die every year because of suicide. There are a number of reasons why people choose this but the overwhelming reason is primarily because they feel alone. They feel burdensome. They genuinely believe that are doing the people around them a service. They believe nobody would miss them. It’s not because they always want to. They believe the lie and make a permanent decision to a temporary solution. Know the signs. Listen when people talk about or joke about ending their life. About feeling like a burden or being tired. Pay attention when they pull away. When they start giving away their belongings. When they quit their jobs. Notice and have compassion on their mood swings and shifts and outbursts that are a cry for help. And call them. There’s a study that says 8 minutes is all it takes for a person to not feel alone. Set a timer. Be intentional. Dedicate 8 minutes to be the reason someone decides to keep going. If you are reading this. And you are considering ending it… reconsider. I beg you. Because I promise you it affects more than you think. People care more than you think. I could be a stranger to you and I promise you that I care about you and your value because you are so valuable. DM me. I will give you 8 minutes 1/2 (keep reading swipe)

“Insert creative August caption here”
.
.
.
God is so good. Let’s talk about it! FIRST! Before anything my baby brother god MARRIED! And I gained a new sister! I could not be happier to have her in our family! This couple honors God so beautifully in the way that they love each other and I was for sure boo hoo sobbing the entire wedding! Next, my final year at the university of mobile has begun and let me tell you, God doesn’t stop teaching lessons just because there are people on campus now. I am learning so much more each day. 
.
“For everything there is a season” truer words have never been spoken. I am feeling that deeply and for the first time in my life im okay with it. Each day God teaches me something new and I fall in love with Him with each moment and every breath He blesses me with. Each day He finds a new and unique way to tell me He loves me and I don’t deserve it but I’m forever thankful. I find myself more and more in AWE of Him. He is such an awesome God. 
.
So in honor of how awesome He is, here are some things that made this long and painful and tear filled month very awesome. He hears our prayers and He placed a healing hand on my grandmother. He allowed my family to grow with a new member. He told me He loves me through the clouds. He let me see my first ever shooting star. He teaches me lessons daily. He holds me fast while He does it. He stays constant when nothing else does. I have access to Him through His Son. I get to read His Word daily and learn more and more than ever. I have a church family that reminds me that I am seen and loved and cared for. And this is all to just name a few. 
.
I could have spent this post talking about the struggles of this month but those don’t feel like they matter anymore because His goodness will ALWAYS outweigh anything else. Everything else. I am overwhelmed with love for my Father. Thank You Jesus. Thank You Jesus. Thank You Jesus. 
.
“In Your house, the Spirit pours out and theres. Always. More.” 

if you see me crying, no you dont. 

Shoutout to the untagged (my cousins who don’t even like my stuff) @ethanlazzell @connorlazzell 

Thank You Jesus for my new sister 🤍🤍

“July is over and I didn’t even go to the beach”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.
.
.
Instagram really is my scrapbook! Listen. July was hot. And it dragged on. But now summer is ending and idk how to feel. This summer has been a season of change but in small ways. I feel the preparation and im not sure what for. I know that im being prepared for something but what? I could not tell you and im okay with that. This summer ive seen more movies than i can count. I have seen a pretty sky every day. I have walked and talked with Jesus. And I’ve taken time to reflect. In fact I’m still reflecting. To be honest I’m nervous for this final chapter of college. There will be a lot of change. And it’s scary. I’m nervous to have people around again after an isolated summer. I’m nervous to fall back into unhealthy mindsets I’ve worked hard to get out of. And while I can acknowledge the nerves, I also acknowledge the solution. Jesus. 
.
I am in a weird season because it is a strange feeling to change and have to almost reintroduce yourself to the people who knew a different version of you but I have a good Father holding my hand every step of the way. Holding me with patience and strength and love. And I am overwhelmed with His love while being overwhelmed with emotions of the heart and it’s well… overwhelming. 
.
I’m excited for this new season. I’m excited to start living life as the person I’m being molded into but of course it is scary. I feel blessed that there are people in my life that are able and WILLING to walk through this season with me but I am also learning that I do not need them. Community is important and needed yes, but I pray I never let community be more necessary than Christ in my life again. I’m excited for this season with Christ. 
.
Anyway this summer was fun! July I turned 23 so I guess this means I’m UNC now or whatever the kids say. I find myself having less and less to say. Or maybe the words are harder to find. But either way im excited to see where i end up. Who knows where I’ll be this year or after this season. But I know that no matter how difficult it is, I’m excited to face it! 
.
Anyway… happy August :)

- “22 was a panic attack”- L.M. - 
••••that’s the funny thing about birthdays.. they’re kind of an annual thing”••••
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.
.
it’s the annual birthday edition to the Instagram scrapbook! 23 could not be more of a blessing… 22 was GENUINELY a panic attack. it felt like it was one wave after another and I could never catch a break let alone a breath. but here I am. 23 and starting fresh. I have so many words and not enough time to put into words the gratitude for the things I’ve learned this year! As I start this new year, it becoming more and more obvious that there are several doors closing and several seasons ending. It’s bittersweet truly. It’s a weird feeling to feel yourself settling into a new version of yourself while the one you thought you were settles into the past. not necessarily difficult, just different. but I am so so so excited for this chapter to begin! 
.
As I enter into my 23rd year I pray that I never forget the lessons that 22 taught me. I pray that I continue to grow and allow God to mold me into the woman that He intends for me to be. I pray that I will be able to properly discern what the path God has for my life while listening when the Holy Spirit is talking to me. I pray that I may spend this year striving to further the kingdom and to love people how Jesus does. I pray that the desires of my heart only align with the desires of the Lord. I pray that I choose gratitude and joy in every season and trial I choose in this new season!
.
Thank you to everyone who walked through 22 with me. Thank you to everyone who is entering 23 with me. Thank You Father for the people I have the ability to live this life with me. Thank You Father for the lessons and the growth given to me at 22. Thank You Father for the opportunity to continue this life just another year on this earth. 
.
22 was difficult. but Praise God for it. Praise God for a hard season. Pruning produces fruit. May my fruit be sweet incense to the Lord :)
.
I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and joy! Here’s to next year!

• a letter to 13 year old me •
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.
.
.
10 years ago, there was a 13 year old girl. a girl who was lonely, anxious, and sad. she didn’t know why she was sad. she didn’t know that she would be sad for the years to follow. she thought that people didn’t want to be her friend because there was something wrong with her. she thought she was too ugly, too weird, too fat, too young. she was 13. now, at 23 I wish I could talk to her. here is what I would say. I would tell her that it’s okay to stay young. I would tell her that people are seasonal and that as you get older, if they can’t have hard conversations then they never loved you enough to stay. I would encourage her to be true to who she is and I would tell her that the answer to her struggles was not a boy or a friend but it is only Jesus Christ. 
.
I would tell her that at 23 she still would have questions. that she still has relationships she is unsure in but then I’d encourage her because I’d tell her that even so, God is still so very present. I would tell her that despite the questions, at 23, she would have people jn her life who make her feel so loved. So important. And so valued. I would tell her to hold on because there is SO much life to live. I look in the mirror and I remind myself there is SO much more life to live. 
.
Thank you to everyone who made me feel loved and important and cared for. Thank you to each person who wished me a happy birthday! That small act of taking the time to do so warms my heart in a beautiful way! Thank You Father for these people. Thank You for holding and keeping me and getting me to 23! I feel so very blessed. I don’t deserve it.

🌸the greatest gift my parents ever gave me was you🌸
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.

I am crying as I type this out as the love that I feel for my baby sister can not be fully put into words. Today is the 18th birthday of my best friend in the entire world. Krislyn is the most amazing person I’ve ever known. She is strong. And kind. And selfless. And so funny. She has survived so much. And she laughs and smiles and loves with everything she has. She is my baby sister and I strive to be like her. 
.
Growing up with a sister is such a complex experience because there is nobody in this world who can get under my skin like she can but also nobody in this world that I want to make prouder than her. I love my brothers with everything I am. I do not love my sister more than them but the love I feel for her is a different type of connection. She is genuinely my best friend. My favorite person on this earth and the greatest gift I could have ever received a week before my own birthday. Growing up I hated that we had a birthday so close together but now I see she was simply an early birthday present. I am 5 years older which may not seem like much but that is a lot of life to live so she has always been my baby. 
.
Her teen years were hard. Fighting sickness that she shouldn’t have to. Fighting for her life in the icu. And as her big sister, feeling helpless is the worst feeling in the world when your baby is hurting. My sister is the strongest person I know. She has a quiet strength but she is the boldest person I know. She never lost her light. Her smile. Her kindness her care. She represents Jesus in a way that pushes me to be the best sister I can be for her and she is the one person I pray I never let down.
.
So happy 18th birthday to my sissy. May you enter into adulthood and continue to grow into the woman that God is shaping you into. And may you remember that your big sister will ALWAYS be here for you in every high and every low and all the moments in between! I love you more than words. To the moon and back and twice around I love you sissy!

So. It’s been like almost two weeks… I got too overwhelmed to make a post but I’m here now! And when contemplating just doing a small caption or something else I wanted to talk about the truth of this concert. I could make something up about how much this guy means to me but that just isn’t true. I love his music. It connects but I don’t know him. You know who I do know? Jesus. And let me tell you..being at that concert broke my heart seeing so many people crying out for Jesus without even realizing it. People connected by pain or heartache, addiction or depression… people connected through music. Isn’t that something? How music can have such an influence to connect thousands upon thousands of people from all different paths of life. 
.
.
While yes, I had the time of my life and I’m so so blessed to have been there... my heart was heavy the entire time. Not in a “you shouldn’t be here way” but in a “open your eyes. This is the reality way”. And the tragic reality is that there are so many people. Who have souls LONGING to know the Savior who are being pushed further and further away from Him because of the church’s misrepresentations of WHO Christ really is! People who have judged and hated and ignored and dismissed people instead of loving them unconditionally and showing them the truth and the love that Jesus would. Jesus would see these broken people. Tell them the truth in love and kindness and respect. These people are no different than you and me. We’re all sinners. All broken. But you and I as believers have been redeemed and blessed with the honor of being entrusted with telling them the good news. Not scaring them. Or acting better than them. At all. 
.
.
Here I am. On the hottest day of summer. With little food in my system listening to music that I love with a broken heart for the people in this audience who have placed their hope in futile things of the world not knowing that what they are searching for is a WHO! And someone who has loved them to the point of death.

• 6 month review (JUNE RECAP) •
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.
honestly? loving multiple captions. it’s like a scrapbook!
.
.
the fact that it has been 6 month of 2026 is absolutely bonkers to me. i mean... what???? halfway to 2027 and where are we? well it’s been raining a lot. it is very hot outside. i have a spider infestation. and im very thankful. i am someone who can easily get caught up in a fast paced, hectic, crazy, social, loud life. in fact, i can get so caught up that when the little life comes calling (as it always does) i tend to feel unappreciative. i get antsy and upset because “life is boring” but yk what? i have started to love this simple summer…
.
now, just because it is simple does not mean it has not been fun. i have loved the movie nights and the slow days with the oakdale cats. i love cooking and traveling to Orlando for a concert that got cancelled. i love the fit checks and learning to appreciate how i look without cringing each time i look in a mirror. i have loved getting closer to God. loved each lesson He is teaching me in silence. learning patience and faith. i love the conversations He brings me… I especially love that. 
.
but yeah…it’s been simple..and beautiful.. and slow…and quiet… and nice…i like intentionality and kindness and care. i like running errands together and lunch dates with Emma Claire….i like this summer. 
.
.
anyway… tomorrow is July and yk what that means? it’s my birthday month so prepare to be SICK of Betty :) i love you guys a lot. I feel a lot of change coming my way and i am ready to face it full force with all I have and all I am in the strength of the Lord… 
.
anyway that’s all from me bye :)

.
.
so it’s basically half way through 2026… i don’t know HOW we got here so soon but here we are. and it’s time for the monthly recap. so what did i do in may? well… i said goodbye. some very hard goodbyes too. i started a new routine. i’ve begun to adjust to new relationship dynamics. and over all it’s felt very ending if that makes sense. lots of doors have begun to close. and i’m in a weird place with it. summer has begun and it consists of many days on my own. some days where i don’t see anyone other than the cats i frequently visit so they don’t feel alone either. and i am trying to focus on the beauty in this season as well. 
.
there is beauty in a season where you can reset. refocus. and renew your mind to only be set on the Lord. a season where you have all the time and no distractions that keep you from giving Him 110% of your focus and time and energy. change your perspective. it is a gift to have slow and boring seasons. and yk what? it makes you appreciate the busy and the fun and the GO of it all a whole lot more. so here are some things i appreciate about may…
.
i appreciate the pickle festival and waiting in line for no reason. i appreciate friends who drive 2 hours to help you move just like 3 trailers down. i appreciate qt runs. and i appreciate walks to work. i appreciate weeds that are as pretty as flowers on the side of the road. i appreciate movie nights and late night talks. i appreciate pickleball and friends who love books like you do. i appreciate each hug. each beach day. each laugh. i appreciate the love of my friends. and i appreciate each hard goodbye because what a blessing it is to have people you’ll miss so much. 
.
happy end of may guys! hopefully june will have less rain although if it’s anything like last year chances are not looking great… 
.
anyway i love you guys xoxo bye
