Sometimes all it takes is one small step — a text, a hug, a “here if you need me.” Love is the movement that turns ordinary moments into miracles. Let’s be the generation that chooses courage and compassion… even in the little things. #PerkinsFoundation #LoveIsTheMovement

We made it to MISSISSIPPI — YAY! 🎉🚗 We finally got a rental, hit the highway, and it was the BEST decision ever… because BOTH of our flights for today were canceled too. 😅 We are HOME. Praise God for protection, wisdom, and safe travels all the way back. 🤍🏡

Made it as far as ATL, then 🚫✈️ flight canceled. Next morning’s mission: find a rental car with half of America in the same line 😂 Still, even in the delays, God was kind — good conversations, lots of laughter, and one more reminder that the journey home is never just about
