With hearts overflowing, we’re sharing some beautiful news 🤍

This week, Gigi had her scans at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and by God’s grace, they came back ALL CLEAR.

We are so deeply grateful. Grateful for mercy. Grateful for the hands and hearts at St. Jude. Grateful for prayers lifted near and far. And most of all, grateful for a God who goes before us and continues to make a way, even when the road feels impossible.

As we celebrate this moment, our prayers remain firmly wrapped around our friends at St. Jude who are still in treatment, still waiting, still making incredibly hard diagnostic and treatment decisions. We stand with you. We pray for strength, clarity, peace, and healing beyond what medicine alone can explain.

In the words of Blessed Father Solanus Casey, “Thank God ahead of time.”
So today, we thank God in advance, for Gigi’s future, for continued healing, and for her life being made whole according to His perfect will.

Thank you for walking this journey with us, for believing with us, and for loving Gigi so fiercely. We’ll share a few photos from this week, each one a reminder that hope is alive and miracles still happen.

All glory to God 🤍

New Year’s Eve will forever remind me just how big my God truly is.

One year ago, this exact night, we were standing at the very beginning of Gigi’s first day of her first round of chemotherapy. I remember the weight of that moment so clearly. The fear, the surrender, the prayer whispered through tears.

What a difference a year can make.

The graces we have received are impossible to fully put into words. We have witnessed the beautiful, raw, and redemptive power of Jesus and His saving mercy. He has carried us through places we never imagined we would walk, and He has been faithful every step of the way.

As we step into this next season, my prayer remains the same. That He continues to pour His mercy, compassion, and healing over Gigi. We will be returning to St. Jude soon for scans on January 22, and we ask you to please pray that He continues to carry us, just as He always has.

May He use her story for His glory. May her life be a living testimony of His healing power, His goodness, and His unfailing love.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer. We feel it. We are held by it. And above all, we trust Him.

And if you’re in the middle of something that feels impossible, where the road ahead is unclear and your strength feels gone, hear this truth: my God is big enough for you too. He is still a way-maker, still a healer, still faithful. What feels overwhelming to you is not overwhelming to Him. Hold on. He will carry you through, just as He has carried us.

Hello, Rock the Love family ❄️ As we step into December, my heart is moved to ask for prayers for a dear St. Jude friend of ours, sweet Erma. Gigi and I met her in July when we were back for scans—her birthday is just a few days from mine, and from the moment I met her, I adored her. She carries such a radiant spark, a joy that fills the room.

Erma is courageously battling neuroblastoma and is in the thick of treatment right now. She needs the covering of our prayers. With her mom Sarah’s permission, I’m sharing her message below as she reaches out to prayer warriors near and far.

Please keep this precious girl—and all the children of St. Jude—in your prayers. May God’s healing, strength, and peace surround them in every moment. 🙏💛

__________________________________

I wish I had a better and more cheerful update for everyone. Erma is really struggling, and I’m asking everyone to please continue praying every day at 9 a.m. for quick healing for her. She is in so much pain. She’s so weak that every time we pick her up to use the bathroom, she throws up.

Her mucositis is covering her mouth, down into her throat, and into her small intestines. Very little brings her any relief, and she’s so exhausted that she’s too weak to even be upset, she just lets the tears stream down her face. Two nights ago, through her tears, I could hear her praying for God to help her stop throwing up, and she said, “I’m devastated.” She is on a pain pump to help, but it’s incredibly hard to watch your child struggle like this.

Please pray specifically for quick healing of the mucositis in her mouth and throughout her body. Pray that her strength returns soon so she can get relief, begin weaning off the pain pump, and God willing be out of the hospital in time for Christmas.

Thank you all for your love and prayers!

Just wanted to share this beautiful little moment with you all. Sweet G’s hair is growing back, and would you look at those curls! These are not just curls… they are reminders of God’s goodness unfolding right before our eyes. This entire journey has stretched our faith in ways we never expected, and every time I look at this thriving girl, I am reminded of God’s endless mercies. He has been so incredibly faithful.

After her devastating diagnosis, life immediately shifted into two chapters: the before and the after. In the before, I truly believed I understood faith. I thought I was living it. But the after showed me a deeper truth, one I never could have learned without walking through the fire. Faith becomes real when everything familiar is stripped away, when the only thing left to cling to is Him. That is where His faithfulness meets us, right in the broken places.

And hope, precious life saving hope, is what allows us to see that there is a way through, even when we cannot yet see the ending. Today, these curls remind me that God is still writing her story, and He is not done yet.

Hello, beautiful Rock the Love for Gigi family 💛

I know it’s been a while since our last update, life has been wonderfully full and busy, and we are so grateful for that! I wanted to take a moment to share that Gianna and I are heading to Memphis for her 6-month follow-up. It’s hard to believe it’s already been half a year since we completed treatment. Time truly does fly when God is moving mountains.

I feel such peace and confidence that everything will remain well. God has been, and continues to be, so faithful. When the path ahead once felt uncertain, He made a way. Through His grace alone, Gianna stands as a living, breathing miracle. Our hearts will forever rest in gratitude and surrender to His perfect will.

As we enter these next few days of appointments and scans, I humbly ask for your prayers, for calm hearts, steady faith, and continued healing. Please pray that God’s mercy and compassion continue to pour over Gianna, allowing her to keep thriving, growing, and reminding the world that miracles are still very, very real.

💖

Thank you to Auntie Lauren Wilson at LovePeaceThreads for always keeping G fresh with the best RTL gear 💪💕

Exactly one year ago today, our world turned upside down with the words no parent ever wants to hear: “Your daughter has a brain tumor.” I can still see the tears streaming down the face of the ER doctor as she delivered the news. The helplessness, the panic, the horror — it all came crashing down in a single moment. I remember the drain placement to relieve the pressure on her brain, the sight of cerebral spinal fluid leaving the body of my five-year-old. It was unbearable.

But then…God. In the darkest hour, I surrendered it all to Him. There was nothing left for me to do but raise my hands and trust. He had to make a way. And He did. That surrender — that faith — carried me when I could not carry myself.

This past year has tested me in ways I never thought possible. Everything I loved most, everything at the very core of my being, was at stake. I prayed like I had never prayed before — begging, pleading, crying out for God’s mercy and grace.

I leaned into the Blessed Mother and her mantle of protection. I called upon the saints, the angels, my ancestors, and the heavenly army to surround us. In that surrender, I discovered lessons I will never unlearn: that faith is more than belief — it is a lifeline. That surrender is not weakness — it is strength. That suffering can be a teacher, even as it breaks your heart.

This year has been the hardest of my life, yet I am grateful. Grateful for the mercy that met me at rock bottom. Grateful for the lessons only fire could teach. Grateful for the love that carried us through the nightmare.

Tomorrow is never promised. Not your health, not the health of your children, not the plans you made for next week. Life can change in 24 hours. Please, let this be a reminder:
• Be kind.
• If you can give, give.
• If you can love, love.

There is always room for more love. Love like there is no tomorrow — because one day, there won’t be.

The sleepless nights in the hospital after Gianna’s brain resection were the worst of my life, yet here I stand, one year later, overwhelmed with gratitude. Gratitude to God, gratitude to our village, gratitude for every single prayer spoken on Gigi’s behalf.

This is not the road we would have chosen, but it has been a road filled with grace. And for that, I give thanks. 💛🎗️

✨ Gianna’s First Day of Kindergarten ✨

All the feels for this brave little girl right here. Today she stepped out, backpack on, heart full, ready to conquer kindergarten.

This time last year, our world was shaken with a diagnosis we never imagined—malignant brain tumor. I can still feel the ache in my stomach remembering those first days of uncertainty. But what a difference a year can make. What a difference FAITH can make.

Through God’s mercy, countless prayers, and Gianna’s unshakable spirit, we get to watch her walk into school today. First one up. Couldn’t sleep. So excited for this new beginning. Truly remarkable how far she has come—the strength, the fight, the courage, the grace.

🙏 Our prayer for this school year:
Lord, we place Gianna’s year in Your hands. Guide her steps, fill her mind with curiosity, her heart with kindness, and surround her with love and protection. May she continue to shine Your light in her classroom and remind us all of the miracles You are still working every single day.

To everyone who has prayed, supported, and carried us through—thank you. You are part of this story, part of this miracle. We couldn’t do it without you.

Here’s to a year filled with hope, joy, and God’s never-ending faithfulness. 💛

WE GOT CLEAR SCANS 🙌🏻✨🕊️

Tears streamed down my face as we heard the words: “Everything looks good.” No evidence of disease. No new concerns. A clean MRI of the brain and spine.

Our sweet girl is still healed. Glory to God.

The same God who walked us through the darkest valleys continues to light our path with mercy, compassion, and overwhelming love. He has never left her side — or ours.

Gianna’s healing is not just medical. It is miraculous. And we give every ounce of praise to the One who makes all things possible.

To each of you who has been praying, interceding, fasting, believing, crying, and carrying us — thank you. Your love has moved mountains. Your support has kept us upright. Your faith has built ours when we felt too weak to stand.

Today, we rejoice. We rest in the peace that surpasses understanding. And we continue to walk forward in total surrender, trusting the same faithful God who has carried us every single step.

From the bottom of our hearts… thank you. And thank You, Jesus. 🙏🏼

We’re all packed up and heading back to St. Jude today. Hard to believe it’s already been three months since we’ve been home. Memphis is calling us back for a week of follow up appointments and repeat scans — MRI of Gigi’s brain and spine, plus a lumbar puncture is this Thursday, July 17th.

We are standing firm in faith, fully expecting NO changes. Our girl is healed in Jesus’ name. 🙌

Please join us in praying for safe travels and that God continues to pour out His compassion and mercy on Gianna. We know He is so faithful — oh so faithful.

Grateful beyond words for each of you who continue to lift our family up in love and prayer. 💛✨

This Fourth of July was extra magical for us this year. Having my girl by my side—healthy, happy, and thriving—brought a whole new meaning to “let freedom ring.”

It wasn’t just about the freedom we cherish in this beautiful country, but the freedom God has given my girl from the chains of endless treatments, radiation, and chemotherapy.

This July, we’re finding joy in every tiny spark—because all those little sparks of hope, love, and answered prayers come together to light up our sky in the most beautiful way.

She is unstoppable. God is so, so good. All glory to Him! 🇺🇸✨🙌

SO proud of our girl—Gigi swam in her very first swim meet yesterday! 🏊‍♀️💛

To see her thriving, growing strong, and getting to enjoy all the normal joys of being 6 this summer… there are no words. Just so much gratitude. 🙏✨

We are forever thankful for your prayers, love, and continued support—please keep them coming! 💛
