My brother @ethan_rankin_40 and his friend @tim.po My brother @ethan_rankin_40 and his friend @tim.pownell wrote a song. My cousin @moosekik did the mastering. I am not exaggerating when I say I’ve listened to it more times than I can count and that it gives me chills *every* time—and not just because I’m proud of my brother, although I certainly am! If you’ve got three minutes, give this a listen…you won’t regret it!!

The friendships God created through the making of this film are some of the most meaningful I have, and I am so very grateful for them.

The spiritual growth He brought about in us as we depended on Him for strength and wisdom is still mind-boggling to me.

This crew is incredible. CC fam, I love you all and sincerely hope we work together again soon. Thank you for your friendship. 

And @thematthewjordan and Gilbert, thank you for letting me help you make your movie.

So we did a thing...

Lindsay and I took a girls’ trip to Charleston last weekend! It was so much fun. 

In the end, we decided that the fire ants, sunburn, haunted public parking lot, and crazy mosquitos didn’t compare to the coffee stops, epic playlists, late night movie giggles, historic jail, French cuisine, sand, sun, and ocean waves, and that super grown-up feeling of staying in an Airbnb all by ourselves.

I’m grateful for you, Lindsay, and I am so happy for the memories we made this weekend! 💞

P.S. Pretty sure Baby Yoda had a great time too.
The happiest pictures are always a little bit fuzz The happiest pictures are always a little bit fuzzy. So thankful I got to spend July 4th with my silly, crazy, amazing family. Love you!

It’s a beautiful day for a sunrise, A morning to It’s a beautiful day for a sunrise,
A morning to trumpet the day,
When sin and death were defeated,
When grief was taken away.

It’s a beautiful day for a sunrise,
To celebrate Jesus our Lord,
Who stayed to face God’s wrath and darkness,
When He could have escaped with a word.

It’s a beautiful day for a sunrise,
To honor our Savior and Friend,
Who walks through this life by our side,
Who stays with us till the end.

It’s a beautiful day for a sunrise,
We’re redeemed, we are loved, we belong.
It’s a glorious day for a Sonrise,
A glorious day for a song. {artwork by @artwithkrys}
