Quinn’s Birth Story

Sometimes in life you need to be around people tha

Sometimes in life you need to be around people that remind you of who you truly are, to speak back to you the truth to dispel the lies, are willing to get in the mess with you, hold your hand, weep with you and…pray over you.
Three of us in this pic have birthdays in the same week…and sometimes you need to get on a plane, put on a dress and make every effort to celebrate—even if (or maybe especially in) the middle of what feels so unbelievably “messy”…because life is short, relationships matter, genuine friends are worth going the extra mile for and being around people that breathe life back into your soul is ALWAYS worth it.
Best birthday ever to get to share laughs, a hotel room, a hot tub, a single pizza 🤦🏼‍♀️😆, late night talks, many tears (and a color palette with these beautiful friends!
These girls are a life line. They have made my heart so full!!!! Happy Birthday @alyssahustedt and @tenleymolzahn! Love you both to pieces!

Thank you ALL for the many birthday wishes this la

Thank you ALL for the many birthday wishes this last week! I felt so loved! And, goodness I have MISSED you guys!

I’d like to begin with an apology. It’s been months since I have given an update—for that I sincerely apologize. So many of you have prayed for our family, been mindful of us in our hardships and have graciously poured out encouragement, gifts, and love. We have been blown away by God’s grace through you.

If you’ve followed our family for any length of time you’d know last year was a brutal year for us. I’ve often described it as waves that just keep crashing—before you catch your breath another takes you under.

The time has finally come to update you.

You may be aware of our friends who started a Go Fund Me for our family in February. They felt deep compassion and led by the Lord to help our family in a massive and practical way. It’s a beautiful story for another time that I look forward to sharing one day.

Unfortunately, within 3 weeks time after the launch/gift of this incredible blessing, Matt was fired from his job as a pastor.

In addition to the loss of employment I was also diagnosed with melanoma cancer.

Due to my surgery/recovery, as well as the active pursuit & desire to be reconciled with the leadership of the church, we have remained completely silent on all social media.

Although these past few months have been extremely difficult, isolating, at times depressing and without a doubt absolutely infuriating, I want you all to know we are doing really well.

We are incredibly grateful to the Lord for His healing, clarity, peace and grace as we walk with our eyes set on Him. It is near impossible to recount the presence and provision of the Lord amidst unprecedented hardships and suffering.

We are also incredibly grateful for the Church family. Without a doubt we could not have survived any of this without those who have loved us with the love of Jesus.

I’m sure you all have many questions. I’ll share more of the details of these broken stories as the weeks and months unfold.

Will you all please pray? Pray for our family. Pray for the hearts of the local church leadership and pray for the church family we love so much.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄 I wanted

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄

I wanted to give you a few updates—many of you have been so kind to ask and I’ve been just terrible at putting them up here. 🤦🏼‍♀️

1. Moving is so hard. Getting back into the house has been awesome, but exhausting! Trying to figure out where things go with 4 rooms no longer there has been a challenge! But I guess it’s turning out to be a great thing so much of what we owned was ruined and thrown out! Blessing in disguise!

2. The first night we got back into the house Cosette began throwing up. She was very sick for a few days and then passed it to Quinn…who then gave it to Matt. On Christmas Eve Matt tested positive for Covid—and we kinda think…OF COURSE! That would be the most “magnificent” way to finish out the year! 😵‍💫😭🙄😆

3. We bought that couch I absolutely loved from my stories! For those of you following along it’s the big one I fear might consume the living room but I just love it so much! I cannot wait for it to come on the 11th! 🎊

4. We got to do some fun things over the break…we took Kate to go watch her friends dance in the Nutcracker. It’s the first year she didn’t, which is so so sad. But gosh what an amazing chance to cheer on her sweet friends.

5. Crew turned 9!!! He’s the most funny (and talkative) little human and we loved getting to celebrate him!

6. We went to the OU Alamo bowl game! I mean, how surreal…taking my husband and five of the kids to an OU game with Stoops coaching?!? I can remember being in college, with Stoops coaching then too, and never in a million years would I have dreamed this would become my life! I love it so much.

7. Corban—gah I owe you guys a full update. But can I just say he is a champ, so strong and oh so patient. He’s doing well. Our plan is slow but it’s working—praise the Lord!!!

8. Last night I got away, for one night, BY MYSELF to write, pray, sleep, and just be alone. It.is.glorious.

9. Tonight we will be filming for a video some friends are making about our lives. They are starting a go fund me for us—as so many of you have asked about. It’s humbling but I think it’s okay to admit defeat. This year has taken such a toll.

We love you all so much!
