Thanksgiving may have been a couple days ago, but gratitude doesn’t stay in one moment. It lingers, grows, and fills every breath Beth takes.

This year, we’re especially thankful for the gift of life through organ donation, for a donor and their family whose selfless “yes” continues to shape every season, and for a Savior who walks with us through every miracle and every milestone. We’re grateful for family and friends who make the journey sweeter, and for the simple joys Beth once only dreamed of now becoming her everyday life.

Warm food, deep breaths of crisp air, and laughter around the table. These moments are never taken for granted.

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to honor this season of giving, please consider saying yes to being an organ donor. One choice can give another family decades of Thanksgivings they thought they’d never get.

Thank you. For following, for praying, and for loving Beth so well. We are grateful beyond words.

This month, Beth got to soak in summer the best way we know how — camping under the stars, playing by the water, and spending time with family and friends. Bear Lake gave us laughter around campfires, quiet mornings with the sunrise, and memories we’ll carry long after the tents are packed away.

She also added a new piece of art to her story — a vibrant shoulder tattoo of a shark filled with flowers, set beneath the sun and waves. Sharks often symbolize strength, resilience, and survival, which feels fitting for someone who has fought so hard for every breath. The flowers within remind us that even in the turbulent waves of life, there is still beauty in the sunshine and growth.

For us, these moments are never taken for granted. Every hike, every splash, every breath of mountain air is a reminder of the miracle Beth carries in her chest — the gift of lungs from a selfless donor, and the grace of God who makes each day possible.

Organ donation gave Beth more than time — it gave her weekends like this. It gave her the chance to breathe deeply in places she once could only dream of reaching.

If you’ve ever wondered whether being an organ donor matters, let this be a glimpse of what one “yes” can do. Here’s to campfires, family, second chances, fresh ink, and the God who makes all things new.

Every hug, every laugh with them is a testimony of God’s goodness in my life. 🙏💙

This summer, Beth took to the skies — literally.

In June, she flew for the first time since her transplant, exploring the beauty of North Carolina and was able to spend most of the trip without her oxygen!! In July, she made it to Nevada for a long-awaited family reunion, sharing in joy and community. These may sound like simple things — a plane ride, a walk, a hug.

But for someone who has been tethered to tanks and timelines, they’re nothing short of miracles. Beth is living proof of what organ donation makes possible. Because one person said yes, Beth is here — flying, laughing, exploring, and living.

And through it all, Jesus has gone before her and stayed beside her — in airports, mountain trails, quiet car rides, and crowded family cookouts. He’s the steady breath behind each new step. He is everywhere she goes. The freedom she feels is not just from her lungs, but from the love of a Savior who never stops reaching, never stops giving, and never lets go.

As we enter August, a month often seen as the quiet pause between seasons, we’re holding space for gratitude and for the power of one choice. If you’ve never considered being an organ donor, let Beth’s journey be your sign. One decision could mean a lifetime of sunrises, reunions, road trips, and second chances 🫁💚

Yesterday marked two years since Beth got the call — the one that changed everything. And today, we celebrate two full years with her new lungs, two full years of life that almost wasn’t.

Two years of God’s grace showing up in every inhale. Two years of a hero’s gift — a selfless yes in the midst of unimaginable pain. Two years of climbing mountains, finding purpose, holding her grandkids, walking freely, living deeply.

We will never stop being in awe of the timing, the mercy, and the sheer miracle of it all. Every breath Beth takes is a testament to God’s faithfulness, the generosity of her organ donor, and the strength in her soul that just won’t quit.

To the donor and their family — we don’t know your name, but we carry your legacy. You gave more than lungs — you gave birthdays, bear hugs, belly laughs, and a future. You gave hope.

To everyone walking a transplant journey: there is life on the other side. It may look different than you imagined, but it can be so much more beautiful.

Here’s to two years of borrowed breath — and many, many more.

Thank you, Lord. Thank you, donor. God bless 🫁✨

The fireworks are fading, but the freedom still echoes loud in our hearts.

The first half of 2025 has flown by — not because we forgot to share, but because we’ve been busy living. Beth has been soaking in every breath, every mountain breeze, every barefoot step on warm dirt and cool grass. The silence here has been sacred, filled with gratitude — for her second chance at life, and for the hero who gave her lungs the freedom to breathe again.

This Independence Day carried a deeper meaning — not just freedom as a country, but freedom in the body, freedom to climb, to dance, to laugh, and to be still without fear.

Beth’s heart is full, her lungs are strong, and her soul is stretched wide like the summer sky. Thank you for continuing to walk this journey with her — even in the quiet seasons. Your love has never gone unnoticed.

To life, to freedom, to donors who give the ultimate gift, and to the wild, wonderful beauty of breathing deep and trusting God.

Today, we breathe — slowly, deeply, gratefully — and we thank God for the miracle of Beth.

After walking through the valley of a double lung transplant, every breath she takes is a living testimony to courage, resilience, and the faithfulness of God. Her life reminds us that healing is possible and that each moment — each breath — is a gift.

As a mother, Beth gives with quiet strength and overflowing love. She nurtures with grace, leads with faith, and shows up with a heart full of compassion — even on the hard days. Her story continues to inspire all of us to live with purpose, to love fully, and to trust deeply.

Today, we breathe for Beth — in awe of her journey, in gratitude for her life, and in celebration of the love she pours into her family and community.

And to every mother out there —
The weary ones and the joyful ones, the grieving and the hopeful, the brand-new and the seasoned —
We see you. We honor you.

Happy Mother’s Day. You are deeply loved, and your role is sacred.

Easter reminds us that the tomb was empty—not as a symbol of loss, but of life. Jesus conquered death and gave the world the ability to be with Him.

God gave me breath and every breath I take is a reminder of that kind of grace. I received a double lung transplant—a gift from someone I’ll never meet, but whose legacy lives on in me. Because of them, I got my own second chance.

Organ donation is a second chance in real time. It’s love in action. It’s proof that life can come from loss, and that hope never stays buried.

This season always hits a little differently now. I think of the cross, the sacrifice, and the power of surrender—how one “yes” can change someone’s story forever. The lungs I breathe with came from someone who said yes. Jesus said yes. And because of both, I have life—full, meaningful, and new.

This Easter, I’m praising the One who left the tomb empty… and thanking the one who gave me breath again.

As Easter draws near, we are reminded of the profound love and sacrifice that Jesus made, laying down His life so that others might live. His act of selflessness echoes through time, a testament to the boundless power of giving for the sake of others. In His sacrifice, we find hope, renewal, and a call to embrace the deepest forms of love and compassion.

April is Organ Donation Month, a time to reflect on how we, too, can offer the gift of life. Just as Jesus’ sacrifice brought new hope to the world, becoming an organ donor allows us to extend that legacy, giving others a second chance at life. It is an act of profound kindness, a quiet but powerful way to carry forward a spirit of selfless love.

This season, consider the lasting difference you can make. By becoming an organ donor, you give more than a gift—you give the gift of life itself.
