Mustard Seed visit today









Today I was invited to come visit the Mustard Seed in Brandon, MS! The Mustard Seed is a Christian community for mentally challenged adults who spend their day painting, participating in Bells of Faith (Handbell Choir) and community service projects. Today I was touched and moved by their sweet generosity and loving smiles and lots of hugs, hugs, hugs (which I enjoyed the most:) ). The residents presented me with a poster that I will take on my journey to Mrs. America. Thankyou Mustard Seed, Staff and residents! I had a blast!!!

MRS. AMERICA OR BUST!!


I am so excited about The Mrs. America Pageant!! I have already gained so much from this experience! I could not prepare for such a prestigious event without my family and friends!
They have truly made me feel like a queen. I have met some outstanding people on this journey! From the night I was crowned I became good friends with Mrs. Tennessee, Letitia Carpenter. She is such an inspiration to me and cannot wait to room with her at nationals! I feel so lucky to have her by my side! I must also say that our Director's Bob and Delayna Bridges are OUTSTANDING! I am blessed to have these earth angels in my life. As Mrs. America approaches I am counting the days and hoping that I do not forget anything!!:) Please have a safe trip to Arizona and I will see you there!! MRS. AMERICA OR BUST! :)
