We wake up, get work, go back home and rinse and repeat – or at least it feels that way sometimes. In truth, there are a million moments in between where we interact with others and we can’t help but wonder what folks will think about us once we aren’t showing up, perhaps once we are gone. Some very thoughtful members of the community share their thoughts on this with us below.

I hope the story people tell about me is that I showed up with intention. That I was present for the moments that mattered, both big and small. That my word could be trusted, and that I loved deeply and without judgment. Read more >>>

Honestly, people are going to tell whatever stories they want. What matters most to me is what my daughters KNOW about their mom. I want them to remember they were loved beyond measure, that they can do anything they set their minds to, and that they were created by God exactly as they’re meant to be—perfectly and purposefully made.

I hope people will say that I loved God deeply, loved people well, and lived my life helping others discover their worth and purpose in Him. That I poured out my time, gifts, and heart to inspire hope, ignite faith, and leave the world a little brighter than I found it. Read more >>>

That what we built with The White Barn has created a legacy not only for our family, but every family that gets married here. That I was genuine, honest, caring, kind and helped and treated people honorably. That I truly was a great wife, mom, daughter and friend. That I showed at least one person the road to Jesus. We’re all one heartbeat away. Read more >>>

I hope they say I didn’t come to impress—I came to remember. And to help others remember, too. Not through loud declarations or grand performances, but through presence. Through pause. Through the trembling truth that rises when someone finally feels safe to be who they are. I hope they say I saw people—not their masks, not their stories, but their essence. Read more >>>
