In January 2021 President Trump invited the American people to a protest in DC where my husband, 14 year old daughter and I along with several church members and friends traveled to the rally. Since that day, our family along with so many other Americans have been dealing with the dark side of the events that transpired that day. My daughter is still dealing with trauma she suffered from that day as she was pepper sprayed and gassed along with the rest of our friends. It’s truly the most devastating thing we’ve ever experienced. In May of 2021 we caught the FBI following us to church and saw them sitting in our neighborhood for weeks. 6 weeks later on June 30th at 545am our home was raided. 50 plus swat agents and homeland security agents, and 3 armored tanks threw flash bang grenades at and in our home. They called us out of our home one by one, my children included with lasers on us at gunpoint. The force they used was so excessive my pictures in my home were knocked off the walls from the flash bangs, my carpets were burned up. It was so traumatic and when I walked out my front door it looked like a war zone. I could not believe what was happening. My poor neighbors thought we were shot and killed. They also drove the armored trucks through our gates to the back of our property and my poor dog ran away during all of this and she even suffers with ptsd from loud noises now. After the raid the swat team left after clearing the property and about 40 FBI agents came on the scene and came in my home to search for anything they deemed as evidence. We later found out they raided our friends at the same time the same morning and took 3 others to jail as well. They were released the same day with ankle monitors while my husband was advised by his public defender to go to DC for a better chance at getting released, he sat in jail for 14 days before finally getting a new judge in DC to grant him bond where he was released on house arrest. He was on house arrest for 16 months. PreTrial conditions were that he was not even allowed to be on our porch, take out the trash or help his father who lives on the same property. He had to be indoors. Unless at work or church. After 16 months we saw God move a mighty mountain and he was taken off of house arrest and placed on stand alone monitoring only due to faulty equipment.. Only God!! Since all of this my family has witnessed God’s mighty hand in our lives, and seen him work things together for our good so many times. My husband is not who the media has portrayed him to be and my heart hurts for him over all of this. He is a God fearing man who loves Jesus with all his heart. He loves his family and his country and he does not deserve this. We’re saddened but not bitter because God has used this to change us and make us stronger in our faith and for that we are thankful. It’s also caused our family to cling more than ever to the promises of God and we are trusting in him for the strength to get through this trial. “My help cometh from the LORD, Which made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:2 He has been our help and our peace in the midst of all the chaos. My husband’s trial is March 6th and we are hopeful and trust God to do a mighty work. I hate to ask for help but we are seeking financial help to cover some expenses for travel to DC and for bills that need paid while he’s away for trial and missing work. I’m a stay at home, homeschool mom and we depend on his income so this has created added stress and we’d be extremely grateful for any financial support but more importantly we desire prayer! Pray for God to be glorified through this, pray for our faith to be strengthened and unmovable, pray for divine intervention and that others look at us during this trial and see Christ! Pray for our judge, our public defender, and even the prosecutors.Thank you so much for your help and continued support and prayers.

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update. We are still struggling to come to grips with the reality of this all and we greatly covet your prayers as we walk through the next step. My husband will have to surrender himself in 30 days to await sentencing on July 13th. Our hearts are shattered in a million pieces over this. Please pray for the strength we need to get through this. Pray we don’t grow bitter, especially my children. Please pray I’ll find work and that it’s flexible and doesn’t take me out of the home so much as I still homeschool my daughter and my main priority is my home, also pray my son finds a job as well. My husband has his own business and so my son will also lose his employment being he works for his father. We don’t understand any of this but we trust that God’s ways are not ours and he always knows best. That doesn’t make this any easier but I know somehow he’ll get us through this fire. Thank you all for the continued support. Any financial help from now on will go directly to my bills. God bless you all!
Cast down, but not destroyed ✝️
March 17, 2023
The past 10 days have shook our family to our core. We have been through one of the darkest valleys we have ever had to walk through but we’ve also felt such peace and we praise him for his goodness through it all. God sent complete strangers from all over the country to sit in that courtroom and pray us through. I like to think they were angels because we needed them as we sat there feeling so alone. We were blown away by the support and even though things didn’t go how we had planned we witnessed God reveal the truth, shame our accusers and we walked away able to forgive those who have terrorized our family for the last 2 years. I spent most of the first week of trial wanting to rip those people to pieces over the lies and hurt they’ve caused us but Friday I began to look at them differently, I looked with compassion. Jesus was showing me how he sees them. He loves them and wants them to be saved. They need him. It’s easy to hate them but our God is known by love and I want them to know that love. I’m thankful for the opportunity God gave me to see if I truly practice what I preach…loving and praying for my enemies. He put my faith on trial. I know that verse about loving your enemies but when you have to live it out that’s a whole different story but when I left the courtroom I pulled them all to the side and told them we forgive them and we will continue to pray for them and as those words left my mouth the bitterness I had, left as well! We had hundreds of people all over the country praying and we are so thankful for every prayer. We are still clinging on to every promise in the Bible. We are his children and no parent ever forsakes their children especially God! He has another plan and we know he’s gonna walk us through whatever comes next!
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;” 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 .
“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” Matthew 5:44
Thank you for the support and please continue to pray for sentencing. And to the angels who sat with us in that courtroom you’ll never know the blessing you were to us in that moment. God bless you!
“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:9
