BBFD - A Chapter Closed

Today marks the end of one my greatest chapters here at Auburn. I think back to this time a year ago and I am so thankful that God gave me this opportunity. I am thankful for the people that encouraged me and supported me every step of the way. I have developed a love and a passion for this organization and the issue of food insecurity. I have made so many friendships and memories along the way and I will forever cherish each of them. I have been challenged in ways I never thought possible and I have grown so much because of it. I am so appreciative of my parents, advisors, fellow exec members, and staff members for all of their hard work during this entire process. Thank you for never giving up and always putting a smile on my face. I am so proud of each of you and I know you will all do great things here at Auburn and later in life. Numbers are not what this is all about. This organization is about fighting hunger and feeding those in need in our community and we accomplished that. This journey started at the Food Bank of East Alabama where I could see through shelves that normally should be filled with food. My heart broke for the families and children that would have to wonder when their next meal would be. Towards the end of the drive I was so overwhelmed by all the support of the Auburn family and community, and I was truly reminded not only why I chose to come to Auburn but why I chose to be a part of such a greater cause. BBFD will always hold a special place in my heart. I am officially a has been! War Eagle forever and always <3

The Road Ahead

Today marks the start of week 3 of dad's treatments. To say this process has been difficult is an understatement. Having to watch someone you love be so exhausted and defeated is a gut wrenching feeling; however, we try to celebrate the good days and persevere through the bad. Dad is already starting to lose the taste of everything and his throat has become very sore. We weren't expecting to see these effects so suddenly so that makes me nervous for the remainder of treatment. Today he got his second round of chemo but that came with a slight challenge. His kidneys weren't able to tolerate the medication that is preferred so we had to switch to something different. We will continue to believe in good outcomes despite this setback. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for our family. Your prayers are felt every day. Please continue to pray for healing and strength as we continue through this journey, as it will continue to get worse before it gets better. Psalm ...

The Summer of Storms

The Summer of Storms. The title says it all. This season of life started about two months ago with a phone call from my mom saying your aunt has breast cancer. I asked a lot of questions, mainly about medications (because what else would I be asking about), but I made a conscious effort to stay strong in the moment. But the minute I hung up the phone and said the words out loud I lost it. I questioned so many things and constantly wondered why. As I began to accept what was happening, the rain came again. About a week later one of my best friends called to tell me about a lump she had found in her neck. Not long after that she texted me to say she has cancer. Once again I asked many questions but continued to wonder why. I asked God why this was happening to everyone around me and what did they do to deserve this. Fast forward a few days and my parents are talking to me about an antibiotic my dad started taking so of course I asked questions. He had found a lump in his neck, which...

Shine

When I hear the word confidence a million thoughts begin to race through my mind. It isn't hard to look at someone and know whether or not they are confident but what actually goes into that? What is it that we see in that person? I started the Confident Woman Devotional to try and learn more about what God views as a confident woman and how his daughters should live their lives in confidence. A lot of the issues that I read about are rooted in fear. Fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of acceptance or approval. But we are reminded in  Joshua 1:9  that God is with us wherever we go, so why are we constantly afraid? We each have gifts and talents but we must be willing to take a risk sometimes in order to use them. You rob yourself of what you can do in your life and the lives of others by simply being afraid. It won't always be perfect or go the way you planned but that is okay.  We aren't guaranteed that there won't be struggles along the way but we are guaranteed...
