Surrender isn’t loud.
It’s quiet obedience.
It’s releasing the plan you imagined and trusting God with the one unfolding.

Mary surrendered comfort, reputation, and certainty.
Joseph surrendered control, logic, and the life he thought he was building.

They didn’t get a throne.
They got a barn.

Not ideal.
Not clean.
Not what anyone would have chosen.

And yet—it was enough.

A borrowed space.
A feed trough.
Animals nearby.
Breath visible in the cold.

Still, they were grateful.
Because God was present.

Surrender looks like saying yes when the details are unclear.
It looks like gratitude for what you have, not resentment for what you don’t.
It looks like trusting that God can do holy work in humble places.

Sometimes surrender isn’t giving something up.
It’s receiving what’s already been given—
and believing He is with you there.

Maybe the miracle doesn’t come wrapped in ease.
Maybe it comes wrapped in OBIDENCE( yuck thats not easy)
And maybe the barn you’re standing in is holier than you realize.

So grateful for all the bars that have been shared with us to get us to this point it’s definitely made us appreciate what we have and all the people who enter it❤️

✨ “Be it unto me according to Your word.” ✨

This photo to this song was so special to my husband we worked with DC Elliott’s mom the week prior. We were in the Brandon loyalty parade Joshua Eggers connected eyes with Dans mom and Josh rode up gave Karen a Big hug and let her pet the horse. Why was it so special because she’s been stuggling with memory but there must’ve been a look that they exchanged she might not have known his name, but she knew the face there hearts connected. Dan caught the photo that you see above we have been in complete awe of the love that we have experienced from her family on this journey it’s rare it’s treasured and it’s something that changes a by standard witnessing it.
If you know, someone struggling dementia, Alzheimer’s, TBI, this song will touch your heart . As the photo did my husband‘s.

And so it is with our faith. One little light on a cold cloudy North Dakota day reminds me of being diligent to show our faith in the dark moments. I'm sure you can see that little poke through the clouds illuminated a huge chunk of this beautiful prairie. That little light highlighted the indulations and exposed the beauty of the prairie on what would otherwise be an oblique landscape on a cloudy day. I can't help but ask myself if I'm being diligent to show my faith in the places where it doesn't seem like it belongs. Have a blessed day! And as we always say The Best is yet to come!
