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.

In Christ Alone

Robin Sykes

In Christ Alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song; This cornerstone, this solid ground, firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled when striving cease My Comforter, my all in all here in the love of Christ I stand. In Christ Alone who took on flesh Fulness of God in helpless babe this gift of love and righteousness scorned by the ones he came to save: til on that cross as Jesus died, for every sin on Him was laid; Here in the death of Christ I live. Then bursting forth in glorious Day Up from the grave he rose again And as He stand in victory Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me, For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood Christ. No guilt in life, no fear in death, This is the power of Christ in me; From life’s first cry to final breath. Jesus commands my destiny. No power of hell, no scheme of man can ever pluck me from His hand; Til He returns or calls me home, Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.

Child of Light

Robin Sykes

Child of Light, I bless you I think of you, I pray for you, Not in terms of what I think you need or what I think you should do or be or express. I lift up my thoughts about you. I catch a new vision of you. I see you guided and directed by an inward spirit that leads you unerringly into the path that is right for you. I see you strong and whole; I see blessed and prospered; I see you courageous and successful. I see you free from limitation or bondage of any kind. I see you as the spiritually perfect being you truly are. Child of Light, I bless you.
