One night a man dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. As Scenes of his life flashed before him, he noticed that there were two sets of footprints in the sand. He also noticed at his saddest, lowest times there was one set of footprints. This bothered the man and he asked the Lord, Did you not promise that if I gave my heart to you that you’d be with me all the way? Then, why is there only one set of footprints during my most troublesome times? The Lord replied, My precious child, I love you and would never forsake you. During those times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then I carried you.

Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, I am the youngest of eight siblings. My father has passed away, but my parents, both everyday people and U.S. Army veterans, instilled strong values in me. I graduated from Jean Ribault Senior High School and went on to earn my bachelor's degree in English with an emphasis in professional writing, graduating cum laude from Grand Canyon University. Currently, I am an Avon independent sales ambassador. I am a Christian, a proud Florida girl, and an encourager. As a millennial, blogger, sports fan, foodie, disabled woman, ambivert, and everyday woman, I embrace my multifaceted identity. I live in Jacksonville with my mom, cherishing my roots and the vibrant community that shapes me. View all posts by Robin Sykes
