Happy Talks Erin Even

Alyce is a wife and mother of 4 amazing kids that I adore. She has moved a handful of times, experienced strong emotional support, and also isolation, financial hardship, and financial blessing. This is her story of how she has made it through the rollercoaster that life has taken her on even to the point of questioning her faith. Her words of wisdom is: don't listen to others while searching for an opportunity to speak, listen simply to hear what others have to say. Most of the time you will find that you don't need to say anything at all. In other words, listen before you speak and decide at the end if it is necessary for you to speak at all.

Madison is a nurse and is currently loving working on a pediatric floor in the hospital. she is such an outgoing, friendly person that truly loves God and people.

Her words of wisdom is: It's important to start your day recognizing who God is and knowing that he is in control and taking a moment to shift your perspective to match God's will and not your will, choosing to live for God and not yourself.

As a kid Michelle was in one of the first schools in Mississippi to be integrated. Although she originally had no desire to have kids and instead pursued learning and her career for years, when she did have kids, they were intentional and an absolute blessing to her and her husband. She is considered a senior citizen now but doesnt feel like one. And she is still pursuing knowledge and educating herself every day. She had so much advice to offer: Get serious. Open your mind. Learn what you can learn. Do not be afraid of learning and don't forsake learning. We are in a time where you are going to need to use the word of God to be your guide. Measure God's word against every decision you make.

Gavin was raised by a mother that loved God. However, his father was at times, drunk and abusive. Through difficult times, Gavin learned to seek wisdom, understanding, and came to realize the importance of prayer and seeking God's presence. Gavin's word of wisdom is that the mind of the wise is in the house of mourning.
"Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties. After all, everyone dies— so the living should take this to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us. A wise person thinks a lot about death, while a fool thinks only about having a good time."
Ecclesiastes 7:2‭-‬4
