🔥 Faith in the Fire: When God Uses Pressure to Refine You What This Study Is About Sometimes the fire is not punishment. its preparation. Sometimes the pressure is not the enemy. Its the process. This study focuses on what happens when: - You stay obedient under pressure - You refuse to bow when culture demands it - You trust God even if He does not rescue you the way you expect

My heart is heavy tonight, even though I was surrounded by family and friends there was still an emptiness that remained. My grandpa was a story teller, a safe place, and a piece of history. He enjoyed the simple things which is why I think I do too. He loved playing pool, shuffling a deck of cards, and spending hours working on lawn mowers like they were old friends. His hands were always busy fixing, tinkering, and teaching without ever needing many words. He showed love through time spent, stories told between games and the quiet pride of a job done right. Ill miss the sound of laughter over a card table, the clack of pool balls and watching him bring broken things back to life. Those memories are ones I'll carry with me forever!!!

Grief is a quiet kind of love that never knows where to go. I recently lost my grandpa and it has left a space in my heart that words cant quite reach. He was steadiness, wisdom, and comfort wrapped all into one.....someone who you could always count on no matter what. I'll miss his voice, his stories, and the way his presence alone felt like home. I'm grateful for every moment, every lesson, and every piece of him that lives on in me. Forever loved. Forever missed 💛

I shift forward as we climb to balance my weight on my horse, leaning into the perfect angle to witness the sunlight filtering through the aspen trees. They whisper as a breeze moves through, exciting their shimmer. There's nothing quite like emerging on the peak of a mountain to take in the view. Rainbows fill the horizon. Two perfect arches over the Snake river, capped by mountain peaks on either side, blessing the valley. Minds wander. Sometimes they want to stroll down memory lane. That doesn't mean we have to let them take us to the land of rumination and regret. If your mind wants to take a trip to the past, choose a happy memory. Recall the best rainbow you've ever witnessed, and move forward refreshed by the reminder of God's faithfulness.

Please keep our family in your prayers. We just found out that Dad has blood cancer. 💔 David, his brother, will also be having a pacemaker put in on February 3rd. We truly appreciate all prayers and support during this difficult time.
