Christmas reminds us that God meets us right where we are. Jesus wasn’t born into comfort or perfection, He came into struggle, fear, and uncertainty, just like what many of us face today. When life feels overwhelming, remember this: God sees you, He’s with you, and He has a purpose for your life. Don’t give up. Your faith, your future, and your story still matter. Keep trusting God greater things are ahead.

Norma J. Wright, better known as “Honey Bunch,” was born December 26th 1925 in Waynesboro, Ga. She grew up in Fort Lauderdale and later graduated in West Palm Beach from Industrial High School in 1943. After strong persuasion from her Aunt Elizabeth McCoy, her father Mose McCoy agreed to send her to Tuskegee Institute where she graduated in 1947, the first female of her family to graduate college. At Tuskegee, she walked the halls with airmen and studied in the George Washington Carver Science building with other historic figures. Her loving mother Lillie Bell Sapp was extremely proud of her and all the hard work it took to achieve such accomplishments.
