Three years ago we came here to Martinsville because of Chick-fil-A.  We drove up here with snow still on the ground.  Back then we lived up on one of the biggest hills in the area.  I never knew the expression, "we walked up hill both ways" was a true statement.  Here in Martinsville you will find yourself walking up hills both ways, both physically and figuratively speaking.   I now know that Chick-fil-A isn't the reason for us being here but more of a means to something even bigger.  I can feel it.  God shows glimpses of where our journey will be heading.  I know the road will be long, but I truly believe that it's already being paved for us, as long as we recognize that we are EXACTLY where God wants us!

How I got here.

Here I am.  In a small town.  A town that almost seems forgotten except two times a year when the race arrives.  A town where people smile at you in the Walmart parking lot, beep at you in the car just to say hi, and join together with a mighty force when you deeply need it.  Yep, I am home.  Not the home I ever imagined, but the home that God knew I needed.  With that said, I am on a journey to show the world that you are exactly where God wants you to be.  Your feeling of insignificance is only because you are being held back by all the what if's instead of embracing the what now's!
