“To God be the glory! I could not have made it through without Him carrying me and all my people by my side. I can’t wait to tell you all my story!

"Training and prepping this week. Cookie Jars finding their spots this week. Then we will be ready to open for you!

"Keep us in your prayers as we transition. I am so excited for all of you to see this in person!

"God is so good!”
