Above the Grave

When I walked out of that grave, it was like the world tilted, and I felt my heart beat for the first time. I knew nothing of what would come of me, but I knew Jesus. It didn’t matter if anything else made sense. But time ain’t so sweet. Where my world once tilted and turned at the sound of His voice, it now only … Continue reading Above the Grave

Resurrection Monday

When I was a little girl, my parents would leave a trail of jelly beans from my bedroom door to the Easter basket on the fire place. It was magical to me; the idea of surprises after a night of sleep, wonderful goodies to bring me joy. Although the jelly bean trails ended after a certain age, my love for Easter didn’t really waver. The … Continue reading Resurrection Monday

Hi. Marriage is difficult, ya know? We ate breakfast together and talked about theology, a new house, and what we want for our kids. It isn’t all snuggles and kisses. It’s bickering, laughing, apologizing, living, memory-making, hugging, arguing, singing, and loving. It’s a lot, and it’s good, and @evandelagrange I’m just honestly never tired of being yours. Hottie McBody 4ever 💞
There’s nothing I need. Somehow I have everything I’ve ever wanted and more. There was once a time in our life when we had to decide between Christmas presents and diapers. I remember my mom gave us money one year for gifts, not out of pity, but because she knew we needed it, and she truly is the most generous person I know. Those times have passed, but it hits me every year: we have abundantly more than we asked for. We have the greatest gifts because we have each other, and what a beloved honor it is to have joy and love in our life. Merry Christmas, dear friends. May you find abundant joy and peace wherever you are and whomever you’re with. To God be the glory!
Ugly sweater party with my favorite person to get weird with. 🤓 The last photo is from the last time we wore these sweaters—nine years ago! Thankful we aren’t 19 anymore.
Smiling so big you can’t see my eyes. #howyouknowimgrateful Thankful these people are my people.
I remember when I found out I was pregnant with Asa. I was terrified every time I went to the doctor, uncertain if they would tell me I had miscarried again. We waited so long for his arrival, and he came into the world four days after I wanted him to. He was a fierce little baby who cried often and needed my arms nearly every moment in his early life. But this is who he is. He loves so deeply. It shows in how he loves his baby sister. And Rosie! My baby girl turned one last week. I cannot believe how fast the year has gone. My little best friend is goofy and sweet, and she’s not afraid to show us how she feels. Baby girl, I hope you and I get to be a team when you’re older. I hope the world is changed because of your voice. It has already changed mine (and all you can say is Daisy and Dada!). Being a mom gets better every year. Can’t believe I get to kiss these kids everyday. Thankful. Happy birthday, Asa & Rosie! ❤️
Let’s always be stupid together. ADVENTURE TIME: Delagrange Edition Who’s your favorite?!
It’s me. 💸💸💸
Carving pumpkins with the best dudes on the planet. Rosie was there too, but she was too busy destroying my Tupperware cabinet and dumping the dog’s water bowl to be bothered for a photo. 🎃
This beloved woman. Sara, do you remember when we went to that conference together, and Nicole Norderman played that song about having kids, and we held hands and cried? I’ll never forget it. These past few years, you have taught me how to care for my friends. You rarely hold back with your love for people, and it’s one of the things I admire most about you. I wish we could keep you, but there’s important work for you in Atlanta. We both know that God isn’t done with us, and we’ll be doing ministry together for years to come. I don’t doubt Him for a moment. I know you and @jbaldy5 feel loved as you leave today. I hope you see how your life, like a drop of water in the ocean, has left a ripple effect on multiple lives in Fort Wayne. Including me. You’ve changed me for the better. To God be the glory, amen? Love you both. Cheering you on as you run. Go, sister. We’re proud. Go keep moving the world for the sake of the Kingdom.
This past weekend was a dream. @evandelagrange surprised me with a portrait session with the incredible @alliepal at @thewonderjam, and it was perfect. He told me he wanted to mark this moment in our life of juggling many things and growing together. I love that Allie was able to capture it (and that I got to be in front of her camera). 👋🏻 will be staring at this photo of myself, if anyone needs me. 🤗
I got real with God today. I told Him I couldn’t believe life could be like this. Not that I wake up and do it all well. Not that I am the most intentional friend or most patient mom. Not that I have anything figured out (because really, once we think we do, things change). I told Him I couldn’t believe life was like this because every year I grow older, I see Him more clearly. Every year that the tides change and things become more difficult or easier, my shoulders are stronger. Every year that I age, He is so gracefully good and consistent, never growing tired of my restless humanity. Every year is another chance to draw nearer so I fall in His shadow and my life molds into what He’s got. Here’s to 28. And here’s to our attempts at a selfie with all six of us. 🙈
It’s been a bit. Here’s what you should know: • I finish my first two classes this week. It seems backwards, but I was made for college right now. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. • The last eight weeks have been nuts. • This man. I love him. @evandelagrange 😘 • I turn 28 next week. 🙊 Just gettin started.
