Three and a half years old… and already one of the bravest warriors we know.

Today, Ruby and her family received the words they had been praying for, day and night: her brain tumors are stable. After months of trying new medications, battling swelling that blurred her vision, enduring endless hospital rooms, and living in the shadow of fear, this brave little girl has found a moment of peace—a moment to breathe, to rest, to know that her fight has brought her this far.

A moment of God-given relief.

But the blessings didn’t stop there. The miracle didn’t just live in her diagnosis; it shone in the details. Her vision? Fully restored to 20/20. The swelling? Gone. Her world, once clouded by uncertainty, is now bright and full of color once again.

Ruby’s parents share the joy of seeing their little girl already dreaming of returning to dance class, building tiny towers with her blocks, and playing her magical games with her baby dolls and rainbow unicorn. Her spirit has remained unshaken. She’s not just surviving—she’s living, and she’s choosing joy every single day.

They celebrated with a trip to the zoo and a sea lion show—because that’s what fighters do: they choose joy every time God opens a door.

Today, we join Ruby’s family in praising God for the stability she’s found. For the healing, for the strength that has carried her through the darkest days, and for the small miracles that have added up to hope.

We ask you to join us in praying for Ruby—for continued protection, continued healing, and many more joyful days ahead. May God keep her story wrapped in grace, and may His light continue to shine brightly on this beautiful family.


“The Boy Who Survived the Unthinkable” 

At just six years old, Nolan Stevenson’s life was forever changed. One moment, he was riding with his parents on their farm, and the next, their utility vehicle overturned, throwing Nolan and his father to the ground. The injuries were catastrophic. Doctors called it polytrauma—damage to nearly every part of his small body.

His pelvis shattered. His bladder torn. His organs bruised. That night, Nolan endured a 15-hour surgery, fighting for his life.

In the days that followed, Nolan’s parents faced decisions no parent should ever have to make. To save him, doctors amputated his leg below the knee, then removed the entire left side of his pelvis. Each decision broke their hearts—but each decision kept their boy alive.

Nolan’s battle didn’t stop with surgery. Over the course of his recovery, he endured 38 daily dressing changes, seven major surgeries, and countless grafts. He spent 84 days in the hospital, surrounded by medical teams whose compassion became as much a part of his healing as the surgeries themselves. Nurses cried with them. Doctors hugged them. Nolan’s case became a study for future surgeons, helping save the lives of other children in the process.

But it wasn’t just medicine that carried Nolan and his family—it was the heart of the people around them. At home, the journey was just as emotional as it was physical. Nolan’s bottle calf—the project he’d raised and nurtured—refused to walk until Nolan came home. And when Nolan did, in his wheelchair, the calf stood and walked beside him. That summer, Nolan showed the calf in competition, proving that even the hardest battles could lead to moments of joy.

Nolan learned to use his prosthetic. He returned to school, to swimming, fishing, and farm life. He brought laughter back to his family, and to everyone who met him. The boy who had endured more pain than most adults, carried himself with an unbreakable joy and grit.

And then, came a moment that felt like a lifetime away from that terrible day—Nolan, walking hand-in-hand with his football team, through the stadium tunnel, greeted by a roaring crowd of hope. Hope that told him, and the world, that he had survived.

Nolan’s journey isn’t over. There will be more surgeries. More challenges. But the boy who survived the unthinkable now stands as living proof of something powerful:

Brokenness is not the end. Sometimes, it’s where strength begins.

Nolan, you are a beacon of resilience, a true warrior—proof that no matter how dark the storm, the sun will rise again.
