The Unemotional Girl

100 Years What would you do if you were guaranteed 100 years of life? Imagine just knowing from day one that you had exactly 100 years to live your life here on this earth. Would you change anything? On Monday, September 2, 2019, my 100-year-old great-grandfather died at 11:11a.m.  I had the amazing honor to be in this life with him for 20 of those years. He lived a life that I do not even have the words to describe, but I will do my best to try; so, grandpa, this one’s for you. In the short time that I knew him, I learned that he was the most kind, giving, relational man. He loved his wife, family, and Jesus with everything he had. He had some of the most admirable qualities that I have ever seen; and I know that I didn’t even get the opportunity to see half of them. I may have been pretty young when I knew him, but I was still able to see how much he truly loved his wife. He truly proved how much he admired her and gave her all the affection he was capable of.

Emotions    Well my dudes, get ready because this one may get personal. Please understand that this particular post is not an easy one for me to write, let alone share with anyone who just happens to read my page. Truth be told, none of the things that I have posted or will post are particularly easy for me to do. Starting this blog was something that I thought about for quite some time. I talked to one of my best friends about it, and he pretty much said I just needed to suck it up and do it. Yet, here I am, four weeks in, and still struggling.    So, why, you ask, do I even do this in the first place? Let me tell you right now it is not because I think of myself as a 'great' writer by any means. In nearly 21 years of living my life, I have come to realize something about myself; I suck at emotions. I realize that is a pretty vague statement so let me elaborate.    When I was younger, there were a lot of things about others, girls specifical...

Life Changes    Life Changes. But I wouldn’t change it for the world.    Thomas Rhett wrote a song with those exact words. Telling us how he went from a nobody in a college dorm room, to a country music star, married to the girl of his dreams. It seemed crazy to him that something like this could actually happen. But that’s how it is for all of us, isn’t it? We think back on how our life used to be and sometimes wonder how we got to where we are now. That’s definitely true for me. More has changed for me in the past two years than I actually thought possible.     I went from being the country hick girl who lived 25 miles from the nearest town, to living in the middle of a town with over 60,000 people. I went from being 3 minutes away from my best friend to being 1,030.2 minutes away from my best friend. I went from being a part of a very old church (no offense of course) to being part of a baby church that has only been around for about 3 ye...
