...Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know and holds us responsible to act... Proverbs 24:12

48 hours


Standing on this mountaintop
Looking just how far we’ve come
Knowing that for every step
You were with us

Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You’ve done
Knowing every victory
Was Your power in us

Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say

Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Carried by Your constant grace
Held within Your perfect peace
Never once, no, we never walk alone

Every step we are breathing in Your grace
Evermore we’ll be breathing out Your praise
You are faithful, God, You are faithful.
(Matt Redman)


48 hours y'all. That's all it takes sometimes. 48 hours for God's people to come together and show unconditional love and support. To be obedient and generous beyond measure. 48 hours for God to not only provide all we needed, but exceed it. 

As of tonight, friends and strangers have given us over $16,000

Can you even flipping believe that?!!!

Our mouths are wide open in awe and our hearts are ridiculously full.

Thank you to our friends that didn't let us feel defeated. For those special people that made calls and shared our story, planned extravagant lemonade stands, baked yummy things, sat in the heat with smiles on their faces, and then rejoiced with us at the end. 

Thank you especially to each of you that gave. Every single penny mattered to us. We saw the body come alive and active all around us. And tonight, we are feeling loved by Jesus and loved by you all. What more could we ask for?

It has been a good 48 hours.

Now on to the business of bringing that baby home.....
