April 2012 had to be the best month of my life – I married my college gal, bought a new car and was drafted by the New York Jets. The only debt I had was the $3,000 student loan I took out to afford the engagement ring, but I thought that with a 4-year/$2,100,000 contract my debt would soon be wiped away. Here was my issue… I suddenly felt like I needed to ‘keep up with the Joneses.’ A timeshare,…
My name is Pam Parrott, and this is a story about how God did something amazing in my life… A little over a month ago I reached a low point in my life. I felt very discouraged and confused about a lot of things. There have been some things in my past, going back to my childhood, that have had a major impact on my life, relationships, self esteem, and overall outlook on life. I didn’t know what to do,…
My name is Roxana Reyes, and I’m not sure where to begin. I just had the most amazing experience of my life. Last weekend will forever be a milestone moment for me. I attended Freedom Weekend, and going in I thought I pretty much had it all together. I used to ask myself, “What do I need to be free from?” I’m married to my high school sweetheart, I have three amazing kids, I go to church, I accepted Jesus…
My name is Cindy Neptune, and in the fall of 2015, I led a 301 small group for the first time. The group was mainly single moms. When 301 was over, the ladies and I really wanted to stay connected…so God gave us a pretty creative way to do it. I started a single moms cooking small group. We picked a night that worked for everyone and began to meet! We met once a month and the moms cooked meals…
My name is Chelsea and my husband and I have been attending Milestone since we moved here from out of state a little over three years ago. Five years ago my little sister, Annie, died suddenly at age 20 – a senior nursing student at TCU. Annie was my best friend, it was a joy to be her big sister. The first couple of years after her passing, I was consumed with maintaining her memory. I felt like I had…
I grew up in a very loving environment with both of my parents. I’m one of six siblings so family has always been important to me. We’ve always been a very strong family, but there was also a lot of dysfunction. Both my parents worked in the restaurant business and there were many late nights. I was home many times with just my older siblings and a housekeeper. Anytime we would have family functions there would be a lot of…
Last weekend we took a moment to honor and celebrate our graduating seniors. We are so excited for what God has next for each of them as they close one chapter in their lives and open another. Emily Taylor is one of these students, standing right on the edge of a brand new season. When Emily first came through the doors at Milestone Church, she didn’t know what to expect. Six years later, she reflects on how God has used this…
