hi everybody! my name is savannah dickey! first off, I wanna say how glad I am that you are here and how honored I am that you wanna know more about me!
I am a:
- Jesus lover
- dog obsessed (pretty much just over my dog roscoe haha!)
- essential oil junkie
- at-home baker/ food enthuisiast
- sparkle shoes lover (check out my insta here to understand why hehe)
- disney adult unashamedly!
just to name a few! I am currently 19 years old, soon to be 20, and I am super excited!
I live in Georgia about 20 minutes away from Chattanooga TN so I am a southern girl at heart! I graduated in 2020 during the crazy season of life from an amazing high school called RKSM ( Redemption Kids School of Ministry) which is the school connected to the church I attend which Redemption to the Nations Church in Chattanooga as well!
Fast forward to after graduation, I had some choices before me of what school I was going to go to for college. This was a hard decision for me because all of my close friends ( my class had 6 of us so we were together all the time) were going off to live the college experience and I wanted that so badly. But I also had the opportunity to finish out my time at RSM ( Redemption college School of Ministry) since I had done dual enrollment my senior year there. That whole summer was a whirlwind of emotions. I SO badly wanted to follow my friends and wanted to go off to the school they were all going to, even though, I knew what path God was leading me on! I was fearful of the unknown!
So, God being as GOOD as he ALWAYS is, during that summer, I was at home one day and got a phone call that assuming I was going to RSM this next year, someone felt led to pay my full tuition for that school year. And yall that may not mean much to yall, but this was not the first time God had done this, in fact, He made a way to pay for almost ALL of my high school tuition! He was and is so faithful 😭!
So from that point on, I knew deep in my heart that God just clearly highlighted which path He had for me and I stepped fully into it trusting him the whole way! My time at RSM was amazing and so equipping and I 100000000000% can say with full confidence that I wouldn’t be WHO or WHERE I am at today if it wasn’t for those two places and the amazing mentorship I received there.
I graduated from RSM in 2021 and stepped out into the unknown.
I had no idea what I was going to do. I knew the passions I had and I knew that I wanted to change the world as bold as that sounds, but had no idea what that looked like. Again, that summer was a whirlwind of emotions cause of the choices I had before me!
June of 2021, I was on a family beach trip, and what I thought was going to be a week of relaxation( it still was) was also a week that I will never forget! that was the week that God spoke to me about Truly You and helped me to shape my future.
I didn’t get a full download at that time, but I heard God speak the words Truly You to me and say that it is what His heart is for this generation. He desires for his children to know him on a deeper level and to know their identity. Not sit and dwell on what the world has to say about them and allow anxiety and fears to control their life, but to walk in God-given confidence and their kingdom identity. It all made sense in that moment of the burden I felt for this generation and the world and even though I had absolutely no idea where it was gonna go it just made sense.
So here we are months later! What all started with two words I heard from God has turned into all of this and this is only the beginning, and I am just so humbled and honored that God would entrust me with this. I’m grateful.
so that’s me! some call me crazy and I have even had people tell me I am ruining my life for not taking the “normal” route you are supposed to take after high school, but as anybody that knows me, normal is BORING! so I decided to go on Gods path! It isn’t always easy at times and is definitely taken me out of my comfort zone many times and at times I’ve struggled to hold onto hope, but God is always faithful.
My hope and prayer are that here at Truly You, you would find encouragement, answers to maybe questions you had, and mostly, God’s CRAZY DEEP WONDERFUL LOVE for YOU!
Although this world sometimes seems like it is going to heck in a handbasket, I have this crazy feeling like a bunch of Davids, Josephs, Ruths, and Esthers are about to rise up and the world doesn’t even know what they got coming! the way that happens? one person, one revelation, one lie being broken off, one truth being believed, at a time! it only takes one!
you may not be able to change the entire world in a moment, but you can change one person’s entire life and the world in a moment. Just look at the woman with the issue of blood! one moment changed her for a lifetime!
so I hope you enjoy your time and what you see here at Truly You and I hope that God speaks to you as you are here!
with love, savannah!
