Hi! Thanks for stopping by! If I could sit for an hour or two and have coffee with you, these words written down here are much of what I would say. Mostly you would hear me say, "Me too. You are not crazy and you are definitely not the only one." It is my hope that these frail and honest words of mine wrap around your soul like a big ole' comfy blanket, and that you leave this space feeling a little more hope and encouragement.. and just a little less alone.

Today we headed back into #raleighnc to purchase even more specific supplies Pender County people were in need of. With that, the last load of relief supplies have been dropped, our travel trailer set up for someone a temporary home, and at 10:30 we are on the road away from the outskirts of #wilmingtonnc back to our second home in #SC. We will never know exactly how many mouths will be fed and supplied in other ways, but our hearts are so filled up knowing that we all rallied together to love well in this storm. I don’t know how quickly things will return to normal for the city we love as we know that our efforts are just a small drop in the bucket of great need, but we do know this - Love always costs us something. But extravagant love is never wasted. Oh, and even though we were just 15 minutes away but could not get to them at all because of the flooding, on the 9th day, just as we were dropping off the last load, we got word that my family’s power was finally restored. ♥️ #hurricaneflo #lovewilmingtonnc #penderco #carolinastrong

First load dropped. Beyond exhausted. Heart is full. For now it turns out that all my multi-day hiking trips have over prepared me for boon-docking in our RV at a rest stop without power or water in what feels like 158% humidity to get up and go at it all day again tomorrow for taking load #2 from Raleigh back into Pender Co. For those that have given monetarily, every single cent is being put to use to meet as much of the needs as we can before we leave our tiny home on wheels there for someone else to call home for a while, and head back to our SC home. We are exhausted but it is the good kind of exhaustion that keeps you going because you just know it is all so worth it. ♥️ #carolinastrong #hurricaneflorelief

Almost 8:30 on Thursday night and we are getting close to pulling out to head to Pender County tomorrow with our RV and a horse trailer filled with supplies. Our hearts are overwhelmed with the amount of people that stood with us to pull all this together. I have cried multiple times this week at the beauty of what people working together can do. We could NOT have done this alone and every single person who donated or gave is just as much a part of this as we who are going. We have truly witnessed the church BEING the hands and feet. THANK YOU South Carolina! Please pray for us as we travel tomorrow - For safety and for renewed energy. We are just so happy to come and serve the people we love and it will do our hearts so much good to be there even suffering alongside of you. This will be the first of several trips so please keep giving here to help us go until the need it met. *Link in profile

Today we started filling up the first trailer with relief supply donations from the #RockHillSC community to take to Pender County (Burgaw/Rocky Point/Wallace) on Friday! We had the sweetest givers and we are beyond grateful! We’ll be at it again tomorrow at Mt. Holly United Methodist Rock Hill, SC from 4-7pm collecting donations! Can’t come out? You can give! (Link to give in profile) If we all do a little, it’ll add up to a whole lot. #hurricaneflo #stormrelief #charlottenc #rockhillsc #wilmingtonnc #pendercountync

Despite the struggle in other places of the world, It’s bright and sunny and the skies are blue over my little spot today. I mean, I’ve got alot on my plate like everyone else. It might be easy to sit back and forget that there are neighbors miles away who are standing in gas lines because the streets of generators have gone silent for lack of gas and others are sitting in shelters with no home go back to, but I just can’t do that. I can’t fix all the world’s problems but I sure can make my neighbor’s struggle my struggle because that is what love does. Love DOES. It doesn’t just talk. And loving well doesn’t mean just our 4 and no more. And so, today we will be fundraising, doing a LIVE at a local bookstore, talking to the local community center, gathering amazing people together and collecting up needs to take to those who need it most today knowing that one day it might be us who needs to a little extra love and support.
