A Seat at the Table: Mental Health Roundtable Experience
Recently, my board president, Grace, and I had the opportunity to attend a mental health roundtable, and it was truly one of the most impactful experiences we’ve been part of so far in this journey. Being in a room with professionals, leaders, and organizations who are all working in different areas of mental health, recovery, and community support was incredibly eye-opening. It gave us the chance to listen, learn, and better understand the gaps that still exist especially wh

What It Takes to Build Something Like This
Behind the scenes, there is so much more than people see... There are meetings, paperwork, and constant communication. There are phone calls, lots of phone calls, reaching out to businesses and individuals, asking for donations, support, or items for fundraisers. Those conversations aren’t always easy, but they are necessary to keep things moving forward. There is also the ongoing search for the right property. That means constantly checking listings, tracking which homes are

Sharing the Vision: Mission Possible Conference
I am honored to share that I was selected to present a poster at the Mission Possible Conference. This opportunity meant so much not just personally, but for both G2G (Glory to God – Grub to Go) and Life Line Housing. At the conference, I presented a poster highlighting the work we are doing through G2G serving meals, building relationships, and meeting people right where they are. But it didn’t stop there. I was also able to have meaningful conversations with others about Li

Property Opportunity
Recently, we had the opportunity to visit a facility in Timpson that was previously used as a nursing home. Walking through that space was both exciting and eye-opening. At first glance, it seemed like it could be a great fit. The structure was already there multiple rooms, shared spaces, and a layout that could support a community environment. I could easily picture what it might look like filled with life again people healing, growing, and rebuilding. But as we walked throu

A Building With Promise, Purpose, and Possibility
A few weeks ago, we started searching for something we believed God already had prepared — a place where hope could live. We didn’t know where to start, but we followed the only lead we had: the Texas Comptroller's website. With determination, prayer, and a little bit of digging, we finally found the owner. We made the call… and then we waited. And then — the phone rang. The owner not only called us back, but shared that the building had just gone up for sale again. He conne

When "No" Becomes the Beginning — Not the End
A Life Line Housing Reflection Sometimes in life we hear a word that stops us in our tracks: No. It’s a word that can sting, discourage, or even make us question whether our dream is worth pursuing. Recently, I heard my own no — a funding request for Life Line Housing was declined. For a moment, I could have let it defeat me. I could have walked away, convinced that the door was permanently closed. But instead, I chose to see something different. I chose to view No as Not Ye

Sunday, I finally came to realize what had happened. My mother had been praying the whole time because she was worried, I was going to be like that for the rest of my life. I originally walked into CWJC and told Mrs. Becky that I needed help getting back to work and get the required skills. I also walked into the doors of NA because CR was not available at the time in Nacogdoches. I was lost broken hopeless and I felt that I wanted my old life back but I could never have it b

So I met a man at a Derby who is really cute and when I met him I knew I was going to marry him. I know, cliche, I know, but it really was love at first sight.

I have been dating this guy for three years and due to my past trauma, I felt that it didn't matter if I had relationships with this man because of my past it didn't matter. Oh how I did not cherish my body I was still angry with God I was still hurt and confused. I had not explored the faith again. Now neither of us was really interested in going to church or being of any Christian values. We partied it up and did the teenager thing, and guess what? To our surprise, we beca

Brandie Cosby Testimony Section 2-3 of 7
When I was eight years old, my life changed dramatically. I moved to Nacogdoches, Texas. I went from a big city, Houston, to a little bitty town where everybody seemed to know everybody and everybody. I went from being able to bike myself to school to having to be driven on a school bus because we lived so far away from the school. The plus side of moving to Nacogdoches was in Houston, we were only allowed to go to the park a block away from my house; however, my mom let me g
