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 blogger, sports fan, foodie, disabled woman, word search enthusiast, 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.

For his time

Robin Sykes

“In time of trouble say:

First- God brought me here. It is by his will I am in this strait place. In that I will rest.

Next- He will keep me in His love and give me grace in this trial to behave as his child.

Then- He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me lessons he intends me to learn, and working in me the grace he means to bestow.

Last- In his good time he can bring me out again-how and when he knows. I am here-by God’s appointment, in his keeping, under his training, for his time. ”
