Children are gifts from God, and in my life, most often, they are illustrators of the truths of God. The truth today, spoken through my two year old baby boy-Words mean very little; actions are what leave a real impact.

This morning, I woke up and my back was hurting really bad. I was telling my husband, and my little man said, “wait mommy” and left the room to go on a mission. He came back with what you see in the picture. A small, flat packaged ornament. At first I was wondering what he was doing, and then suddenly it hit me as he raised my shirt to place it on my back. He carefully pretended to peel it back and smoothed it over my back. I then knew exactly what he was doing. He was mimicking his maw maws daily actions. My father in law wears lidocaine patches on his back and my baby boy must have seen his maw maw putting them on for him. I don’t know if he saw it once, or numerous times, but I know that the action left an impact. He remembered her action, he remembered why she did it, and he acted in the same way.

Our God has always been a God of action. He sent Jesus to demonstrate the actions of his Character. Jesus demonstrated his love for humanity in his action on the cross. And, God’s still here today actively working via the Holy Spirit.

Oh God, help me to be more mindful of my actions at home and out in this world. I pray that the actions of me and husband would imitate the actions of Christ, leaving an impression for our children to remember for years to come 💕

It is truly beautiful to see how God connects people when you are obedient in the work you are called to do. As Christ followers, we are called to love God and love people. We are called to use our pain and experiences to meet people in similar experienxes in their times of need. This past weekend we raised money for the Leah Wilkinson Memorial Foundarion by hosting a pastalya dinner. So many helpful hearts and hands were involved. Obstacles arose, but God provided.

Before we even left the church, we were able to bless someone in our cancer community and meet needs only God knows about.

He opens doors, yall. He answers prayers, and He provides when we are open to being used by Him. My sweet momma’s work carries on - and it’s more apparent every year that it’s not just about cancer awareness-It’s about kingdom work: loving others well, showing up wirh compassion, meeting needs, and giving with open hands.

Thanks to all who gave this weekend and year after year so that mom’s legacy can live on. Thanks be to God for the ministry born our pain. The fruitfulness of this work becomes more and more evident with each passing year..

“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
— Philippians 1:6

“The Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
— 2 Corinthians 1:3–4r thr

It’s not just VBS. It’s a summer safe space. It’s a song that will stay on their heart for years to come. It’s a second in time that they have no worries. It’s a salty snack for their hungry belly. It’s a special bond with their Bible teacher. It’s a seed planted. It’s setting apart tomorrows leaders. It’s a seat filled in support of their child at parent night that would otherwise be empty. It’s not just VBS-it’s sacred work and I think it matters more than we know. I pray we always do it with our whole heart🤍

Yesterday, we had a follow up appointment for my baby boy. 6 weeks post op and he’s doing incredible. He just has to pass one more swallow study and he will be released. The wild thing is, we didn’t know just how sick he was and how bad he felt-until after he was fixed. Before surgery, he was irritable, very low on iron, and easily fatigued. We noticed, but we thought that was his norm because it was all very subtle. Now that his stomach is no longer in his chest, he’s so different. You can tell how good he now feels! I’ve had so many people comment to me on how good his color looks and how different he acts now. My first thought is, Praise God! Thank you for helping us find this problem hidden deep within him. My second thought-what a parallel to our lives pre-Christ! We are living, we are doing fine as far as everyone else can see, but something is off-subtle and not quite right. And just like the surgeon that restored my son’s stomach to the right position…our great physician is waiting, begging to transform us into who we were always suppose to be…HIS. We can start anew- life abundant-so much better than the life we once had. Lighter. Happier. Free and HEALED. And when it’s all said and done-that’s when we truly recognize just how empty and unhealthy our life was before we surrendered to his love 🧡

The day the sun stood still
Evil prevailed and sadness filled the air
An unfair trial and dreadful death
A mothers eyes filled with despair

Friends going to visit at a tomb
Only to find their teacher no longer there
How could a gracious God allow this
It all just seemed unbelievably unfair

So many emotions to follow
Doubt, confusion, sadness and fear
Soon would be replaced with peace
As they learned their risen king was near

His resurrection held joy and hope
Still offered for me and for you
Death could not hold our Savior
He had risen; a promise held true

Thank you God for Sunday
A reminder that our King reigns
We know our Sunday will come AGAIN
And because of that, hope remains!!

Slow Down Sis…my second book hit Amazon Prime this morning 💕

This is the second book in a 3 book series-Slow Down Sister. The first one was focused on praying for your hubby…but this one is for YOU! Over the last few years, God has really revealed to me the things in my life that were hindering me from experiencing true peace and fulfillment. Most days I felt like a complete failure, because like so many women my age, I was caught up in the ripping and running of this life. Having a full time job and being a wife and mom isn’t for the weak...I know-but, we can’t tap into His strength if we are unwilling to give Him control. I had no idea how tightly I was holding on to the things of this world until I started to feel like I had lost control. This devotional serves as a reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out! We are called to surrender, yall. And it’s in our true surrender that He meets us with peace and grace 💕

Get your copy by Saturday if you order today! Also, if you ordered my first book, please consider leaving a review on Amazon. It helps them stay as prime items, but more importantly will broaden my reach of ministry outside of Loranger.

Thank you all for your never-ending support…it means more than you know!!

When we struggle to manage everything and navigate challenges alone, it's common to feel like we've failed. However, during overwhelming times, God invites us to turn to Him. He desires for us to acknowledge our needs and embrace His peace. In our focus on tasks and results, we can lose sight of ...

“You will continue to run around-exhausted, chasing lesser glories, until you see and behold the one whose image you were made in and whose purpose you were made for and declare him as Lord. This should be the daily posture of our hearts.”

When I signed with this company I knew they were doing amazing things! But I didn’t know they donated ALL proceeds to pediatric cancer research. Book number 2 has been submitted, but their efforts for the month of February are being spent advocating for Childhood Cancer-something very near to my heart!

My first experience with pediatric cancer was with a 7 year old little boy named Karson. He was the same age as my Addie when I cared for him as his hospice nurse. So often I would compare their sweet little lives. While I was taking my daughter to trick or treat-I was looking for different regimens to manage his intractable vomiting. While my daughter was finding her voice, he was losing his. I got to put bows in her hair, but he lost all of his. I got to put earrings in her ears, but I had to put an NG tube in his nose. I had the honor of holding his hand and laying in bed with him and his sweet momma when he took his last breath, and it left a forever mark on my heart.

One of my highschool best friends walked this same road recently with her baby girl Kallie.

Kallie and Karson are now walking the streets of gold, but so many others are still walking the awful reality of pediatric cancer.

This world is broken and unfair, plagued with sin and disease, but HOPE is never lost. Until we are called home, we are to stand in the gap and fight for kids like them in whatever way we can. We are called to carry light into the darkness. We are called to pray. And we are called to support financially when and where we can.

Keeping a Light Foundation, Bell Asteri and Ashland Ink are doing great things in this realm and I’m thankful to play a small part 💕

Nine of 11 patients in new brain cancer trial saw their tumors shrink by at least half. One really beat the odds.

💬Day 3

Genesis 5-6
Genesis 5 tells us that the Lord regretted that He has made man on the earth. That is a pretty solid statement. But it’s honest. He looked around at all the chaos and violence and said-I’ve had enough.

It’s easy to for us to forget that god is not just an omnipresent being-he’s our father. And because we are made in his image, he has thoughts and feelings like us. He can be disappointed, angry, pleased, joyous, etc. In the times of Noah, he was fed up (and I think he’s getting that way now too).

I look around at this life sometimes, and I feel those same feelings of disgust. But God didn’t completely throw his hands up. He found the good-in Noah. He regrouped and restructured in his graciousness.

Psalm 3
My reading in Psalm today reminded me that he is the lifter of my head-when I’m at the end and fed up too. He sustains us!

Matthew 5
So much here! The law was a standard to guide generations before us-but Jesus came and pointed out that it’s truly about the condition of our heart and mind. He’s wants us to act differently than the world-not just to follow Christian rules- but because of our love and gratitude for all he has done.

I see many of my friends are reading the Bible through in a year and I am doing it too. Last year I set out to complete this, after making the same commitment so, so many times before. But in 2024, I finally saw it through. It showed me how much I didn’t know. It reminded me how good God was. And it shocked me at how dark and unedited it was.

The Bible is history, the Bible is praise, the Bible is letters, the Bible is prophesies. The Bible is good news. But more than anything, the Bible is God-breathed, hope and love.

I’m gonna try my very best to consistently share my daily thoughts and I’d LOVE to hear y’all’s takeaways too. Because along with all the other things the Bible is-it’s personal-and hits us all where we need it in that moment.

Day 1 Thoughts:
In the beginning, there was God, and with him, there was nothingness. He spoke and just like that-life happened. Plant life, animal life, and humanity. Creativity gave birth to diversity. Day and night. Land and sea. Man and woman. And it was GOOD. With the new year brings new goals, and that’s my favorite. But my prayer for my family is that our goals will not to be like those of the world around us-rather like our God-the image in which we were created. I pray that we embrace our diversity rather than try to blend into this culture. Loud and soft spoken. Curly hair and straight. Short and tall. Talkative and quiet. I hope we all learn to lean into our diverse appearances and personalities in this New Year. I hope we learn and grow and look at ourselves and others through the eyes of our maker. I pray we look back, with full hearts, on the close of 2025 just like God did at the close of creation and say…it is good! 🥰

He’s been really hard to parent lately. He’s been restless and ornery and disobedient. And despite it all, his daddy brought him home a treat today. I’ve been reading in Hosea this week, and God used this interaction today to remind me of the truth. Like my boy, we can be ornery and disobedient. Like Isreal, we are an adulterous people. We stray away. We hurt God’s heart with our ways. But like Kade’s daddy-God gives us good gifts anyway. He loves us anyway. He forgives us anyway. And he teaches us to do the same. It’s why we are celebrating this Christmas season. We are an undeserving people who have received a beautiful gift…the most perfect picture of grace and redemption and love-in the form of His son.

Hosea 6:3 says, "Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth".

Thank you God for mercy. Help me give it more freely father 🙏
