In the life of Becky

Simplicity Ever think of the simple things that are in your life that make your life what it is? Think of the good and the bad. Think what your outcome was of it, nothing is really as bad as it seems while you're in the midst of the storm, right? I've been so blessed with every terrible thing that has happened in this life to my family, friends, and most of all I.

There was a man cutting a patch of grass. As I was approaching him he kept looking up at me and I won't lie, I'm a straight up awkward person. So when I see someone like being as awk

I'm still figuring it all out, I've been reflecting and searching a lot lately. Even when you feel that you've got it all figured out, you'll find yourself somewhere that makes you feel small.

For me, it all goes to what God calls us to do, love your neighbor as yourself. It is simply stated, "love your neighbor as yourself."

I am seeing that it's not necessarily what you do in the program but what goes on outside of the program as well. Unfortunately, we had a loss of a parent last weekend. Kapa Nyonne lost her mother, who still lived in Liberia.  It was a heart wrenching time, but the fact that I was invited into their home during their mourning process was a great honor. Seeing that there was no food in the home for the family of many, I wanted to meet the need. Luckily my father was also here with me to be able to meet that need. During the mourning process of a Liberian culture, the daughter of the mother whom passed must shave her head. I knew this would be difficult for Kapa because she already gets a
