Year 6. 🤎

Happy Anniversary, Mr. Nelson.
I love being your wife. 🥹


“Six years ago today, I married the woman of my dreams—quite literally. I’ll never forget when the Lord gave me a dream in October 2017, months before meeting her. In that dream, I was standing in the middle of a field, proposing to someone whose face I couldn’t see.

On December 27, 2018, I had that same dream again… but this time, I saw her face. It was the confirmation I needed that I’d marry her the very next day. 😉

Six years have flown by, and two babies later, I’ve grown in ways I couldn’t have imagined. This past year, I faced moments where I was at the end of myself—moments where I almost lost the best thing that ever happened to me (a story for another time).

By faith and grace, I didn’t lose her. This season has been nothing short of blissful. It’s the closest I’ve ever been to the Lord and to my best friend. Baby, I can’t thank you enough for your fight, your perseverance, and your willingness to keep going, even through the hard times. You’re shining brighter in my heart now more than ever, and I still feel like the luckiest man alive. Restoration looks amazing not only on you but on us.

Six incredible years, and I wouldn’t change a single thing. Thank you for being the remarkable woman, wife, and mom that you are. What’s understood doesn’t even need to be explained.

Happy Anniversary, my beautiful bride. 😘”

If you’ve never witnessed the redemption of the Lord, you’re looking at it now.

What the kids say? “What’s understood doesn’t need to be explained” or somethin like that?

Yeah……. 🔒💍

To my YouTube sisters,

I have finally laid down the heavy guilt that I picked up somewhere along the way on my journey to pivot my YouTube channel. I had so many plans for my content last year and (admittedly) Q1 of this year. When the Lord instructed me to "go deeper" with my content and gave me a new strategy, I did not expect for Him to completely rebrand me. And I'm not just talking about a rebrand for my personal brand/business...

I'm talking about a transformative shift in my identity and the perspective that I had of myself. I said in one of my newsletter emails that whenever God wants to process you, the starting point is humbling yourself before Him and allowing Him to show you yourself. It's not going to be pretty, but it will trigger the transformation.

That's exactly what happened to me. And I'm still in my process, just on the brink of breakthrough.

As excruciating as it's been, this pruning & crushing season is one of the most beautiful and fruitful seasons that I have ever journeyed through.

It has brought forth a new sense of purpose and a deeper desire for destiny that I cherish so much. I'm reminded of how this beautifully mirrors a woman going through pregnancy and childbirth. Just as she carries a child within her, nurturing it with love and anticipation, so too do we carry the plans that the Lord impregnates us with.

The process of cultivating His dreams & desires for you... aligning your will with His to be perfectly fused together...the uncomfortable period of time required for them to grow and mature until it's time to give birth...

The labor pains are the struggles and challenges that we face as we bring His plans and desires for us to fruition.

This season for me has required a new level of faith, sacrifice, perseverance. I've had many moments of doubt and even fear... mirroring the physical intensity of everything I had to go through giving birth to my babies...

Yet, just as the arrival of a child brings immense joy and a profound sense of accomplishment, so too does the realization of knowing you're on the other side of breakthrough. It is a testament to the power of faith and the strength that we gain through hardship, ultimately leading to a place of fulfillment and the sweet reward of our efforts.

Your patience with my process has been my fuel. Thank you for your love, kind words, and consistent support for me and my content. You’re about to eat of the fruit that has been produced behind the scenes and the wait will be proven to have been worth it. 🩷

If you want to keep up with me until my “official” return here on YouTube, you can join my newsletter community where faith, family, home, and self-care intersect. You'll get uplifting content, exclusive insights, and meaningful conversations & connections that I have intentionally designed to inspire and empower you on your journey. Together, we'll navigate life's highs and lows, celebrate victories, and support each other through it all.. because at the end of the day, we're in this together, sis. This will be your corner of the internet where you are valued, understood, and uplifted. You'll feel like you belong, because you do. lorissanelson.myflodesk.com/

My husband posted this today on Instagram and I thought it was beautiful ❤️

————————————————————————

I WON’T LET MY WIFE BE SUPERWOMAN!

I’ve been on this marriage journey with the love of my life for five years now and one of the biggest things that I have learned is that she is not superwoman and I won’t allow her to be!

Scripture tells us that our wives are more delicate than us (1st Peter 3:7). We are to bear the weight of our families. She is only called to be my helper within this structure. This allows her to flourish as a woman.

My wife was never created to be the hero in my story. She was never called to be my personal savior. Anything that pushes her to be superwoman gets torn down by me and I take on that weight for her. It’s my pleasure to do so.

Fellas, our wives are delicate and deserve to rest in their rightful feminine position as our spouse. Let’s do a better job at making sure we’re in order.

We dedicated our daughters back to the Lord today and I keep trying to find the words to describe how overwhelmed I feel but I don’t think I can.

I’m just really grateful. Grateful for this community that God planted us in here in NC, grateful for our tribe who consistently shows up in more ways than I can count just like they did today, grateful for a Godly husband who I have as a partner to raise our children in the fear & ways of the Lord, grateful for this beautiful life that I get to live.

Elora & Elaina are blessed beyond belief and I am amazed that God saw us fit to steward their lives 😭

I’m so in love with my little family. My goodness.

Also in love with this custom attire that Elliot’s father brought us back from Ghana (that’s where he’s from)!🥰 Y’all know I always go against the grain lol I didn’t feel like wearing white anyway 😆😂

One year ago today I was gifted one of the greatest blessings I didn’t know I needed. If you don’t know, I got pregnant with Elaina miraculously. My husband and I decided we didn’t want anymore children at the time and were using 3 different forms of protection. I also had an infection in my fallopian tube that was so bad, my doctor told me it was almost impossible for me to conceive until I was healed all the way. My friend & brother, who is now Elaina’s Godfather, prophesied over me and said that the Lord was going to heal my infection and we’d conceive shortly after.

10 months later after enduring the toughest pregnancy, I gave birth to our miracle girl. She had one of the fiercest cries I’ve ever heard in my life and I knew from that moment on we were in for a wild ride lol. She is certainly our wild child to say the absolute least 🤣

Elaina, your father and I are so grateful to God for lending you to us. We’re honored to steward such a vibrant, confident, and beautiful soul. You have unexpectedly changed our lives for the better and we’re all crazy about you!! We love you beyond words. Happy 1st birthday Baby Dall!!! 😭😭🩷

Christianity is not an aesthetic.

Christianity is not a trend.

Christianity is not something you get to do on your own terms.

It is a denial of self.

It is a choice to die.

It is a demand to yield.

It is an order to obey.

It is a call to transform.

It is a command to love.

It is a willingness to serve.

It is a decision to commit.

It is a sacrifice for holiness.

Count the cost you have to pay in order for you to live the life that Jesus paid for us to live before you buy in.

Happy 4th birthday to my sweet little pink obsessed, dress & tutu crazed, makeup & glitter loving mini-me! This girl continues to blow our minds with how brilliant and mature she is for her age. She is truly one of my greatest joys and I can’t be anymore honored that the Lord chose me and her daddy of all people to steward her life. The older she gets, the more she lives up to her name. She is a literal light to everyone around her and today we get to celebrate the gift she is to the world and especially to us.

We love you Elora!!! 🩷💕💖

Isn’t she just fabulous y’all she dressed herself this morning 🤣🥰🥰
