2 years ago my life changed..
I woke up on October 8th, 2024 and I didn’t have a dime in my pocket.
I had an appointment to go look at a place to rent for the County-Courier.
Before I left, I kept praying telling the Lord that even if it worked out that I would need internet.
Up until that point, I wasn’t sure if this was 100% what God called me to do.
I left and told the Lord that if He wanted me to do this then He would work it out cause I didn’t have the means.
I went to talk to Jeff Moore about this place for rent in the picture.
Because of his kindness, I left that day with the key in my hand.
The County-Courier was officially happening that day.
This was the day I knew 100% no doubt in my mind this is what He wanted me to do.
I was just sitting there taking it all in and I had that key gripped in my hand so tight. All I could do was thank the Lord and cry because my dream and my calling was actually happening.
I didn’t have the key 15 minutes and in walked Jason Couch.
For those who don’t know Jason, he is with spectrum.
He walked in and asked me if I needed internet 😂
Now to remind you, I didn’t have a dime to my name!
He signed me up and the way it worked out I didn’t have to pay anything.
My life changed in the blink of an eye.
I thank you all for everything!!
Thank you for every encouraging word, every compliment, all of the love and all of the friendship you all have given me the past 2 years!
Lord, I thank you for giving me a purpose instead of a paycheck. I thank you for never leaving me or forsaking me. I thank you that every time my back is against the wall that you move the wall, for every time I’m up against the ropes I can tag You in to take over the fight, and that through it all this business belongs to You.
I wanted the County-Courier to be a place Where Community Comes Together.
I love this community we have formed together.
Because of Him and because of you all my life has meaning.
I love you all!
“And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.” Isaiah 65:24 (KJV)
Two years ago, I learned that when God calls you to something, you don't have to know how it's going to happen. You just have to trust the One who called you.

Thank you local veterans for your service and sacrifice!
