Good morning ☀️ Do not let yesterday’s disappointments shape today’s attitude. God is still opening doors, teaching lessons, and strengthening you in ways you may not fully understand yet. Keep trusting Him even when the process feels slow. “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” - Isaiah 40:31 NIV #DSLDPodcast #ChristIsKing

There could be no Independence Day without Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Freedom is celebrated on Independence Day, but it was protected and preserved by those we honor on Memorial Day. Thank God for the brave men and women who gave everything for others. “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” - John 15:13 NIV #DSLDPodcast #ChristIsKing

Please help @MrsMcAfeeShow, Mackenzie, and I welcome Midas Robert McAfee to our family.. Due to Samantha having a high risk pregnancy and severe preeclampsia, the decision was made to have an emergency C-Section on Friday night. Baby boy officially entered the world on May 22nd at 10:42PM as a 6lb 6oz screaming young legend… 10 Toes, 10 Fingers, full head of hair. Literally in his first moments of life, Midas was working... He was able to get his O2 Levels high enough to be able to come hang with us in our room and because of that we got to do all of the immediate magical newborn moments.. Skin to skin, 10,000 kisses, tons of love, all of that.. inevitably, since he came into the world at 36 Weeks (40 is full term), he had to develop his lungs a little bit more, get some fluid out of him, and adjust a bit to life outside of Sam’s stomach.. So, he was sent to the NICU to help the transition from the womb to the world. As mom was recovering like a badass from the mind boggling C-Section surgery, little dude was DAHN the hall.. They put a CPAP on our guy, a feeding tube, and put him in a heated pod with a heating lamp to help him develop a bit more. There wasn’t much I could do other than bring positive vibes as I bounced back and forth between the 2. Watching Samantha battle thru her recovery has been nothing short of inspiring, WE APPRECIATE YOU @MrsMcAfeeShow, I will be sure that our kids will know how much you went thru for them.. And every time I went and saw boy, I couldn’t help but fantasize about what his life could become.. So many dreams and opportunities waiting for this young stud. We had a sneaky suspicion that he was a dawg and a fighter but, it is a bit scary to see your baby hooked up to so many “very serious” things.. He ended up staying roughly 36 hours in the NICU before being released back to our room… a FULL CELEBRATION occured. We’ve been floating around this room.. sleeping and burping and feeding and changing diapers ever since. We’re looking to get back home to our 3 year old baby girl today or tomorrow. We can’t wait for her to meet her baby brother.. Her grandparents have been doing a PHENOMENAL job of keeping her informed and also distracted while we’ve been living in this hospital.. we are VERY THANKFUL for them. The name “Midas” has been the name I’d hoped to name my baby boy, if I was to ever have kids, since my Freshman year of high school when Mrs Nonnenberg (RIP Legend) taught me about Greek Mythology.. Like most, when you come from not a lot, the thought of everything you touch becoming gold was certainly an immediate draw for me but in this world that we live in, gold can only come from working your ass off, getting lucky, and having great folks around you. The name is perfect for the boy that Sam and I would like to raise. He will be an asset to society, he will treat folks right, and he will work his ass off to help his community achieve their own form of “gold.” “Robert” is a tribute to Samantha’s dad and best friend.. A man that we lost way too soon a couple of years back and will now live on forever thru Mighty Midas. Midas will know his grandfather thru our stories and pictures.. and we know Bob will be looking out for Midas for all of time. So on this Memorial Day we say Thank You to those who gave everything to this country that we call home.. and we will use their stories as guidance for our young boy about a life lived right. We Love You Midas… Welcome to the McAfee family. We will do everything we can for you, brother. p.s. Midas has already watched the closest Indy 500 of all time. The Vegas Golden Knights HUGE game 3 comeback… AND of course, Top Gun Maverick.

@MrsMcAfeeShow @PatMcAfeeShow 🕊️Galatians 5: 22–26 NIV: (5/22/26)🕊️ “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.” Happy Bday Midas!

What a beautiful reminder of how fragile and powerful life really is. Praying for Samantha’s recovery, for little Midas to continue growing stronger every day, and for peace over the entire McAfee family. There’s something incredible about watching a father already dream, protect, and speak purpose over his son from the very beginning. Welcome to the world, Midas 🙏 “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.” - Psalm 127:3 NIV #DSLDPodcast #ChristIsKing

Good morning ☀️ Every new day is another reminder that God’s mercy did not run out overnight. No matter what yesterday looked like, His grace is still reaching for you this morning. Keep moving forward with faith. “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning.” - Lamentations 3:22–23 ESV #DSLDPodcast #ChristIsKing

Good evening 🌙 As the day slows down, remember that not every prayer is answered immediately, but every prayer is heard. God is still working through the waiting, the silence, and the uncertainty. Trust Him even when you cannot yet see the outcome. “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.” - Psalm 37:7 NIV #DSLDPodcast #ChristIsKing

Good afternoon ☀️ Sometimes the middle of the day is where doubt, frustration, and exhaustion try to creep in. Take a breath and remember that God has already carried you through things you once thought would break you. He has not brought you this far to leave you now. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” - Galatians 6:9 NIV #DSLDPodcast #ChristIsKing

GET TO CHURCH.

Good morning ☀️ Do not let a difficult season convince you that God has forgotten you. Some of the strongest faith is built in the moments where you keep trusting Him without having all the answers. Stay steady. He is still leading you forward. “We walk by faith, not by sight.” - 2 Corinthians 5:7 NIV #DSLDPodcast #ChristIsKing

Goodnight 🌙 Sleep tonight knowing you do not have to carry every burden alone. God never asked you to hold the weight of the world on your shoulders. Rest in His peace. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” - Matthew 11:28 NIV #DSLDPodcast #ChristIsKing

Good evening 🌙 As the sun sets tonight, remember that God is still working in the background of your life, even in the moments that feel silent. Just because you cannot see movement does not mean He is absent. “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” -Exodus 14:14 NIV #DSLDPodcast #ChristIsKing

Maybe sometimes, bro. But Jesus always kept it real too, and the world crucified Him for it. Truth spoken with love will not always make you popular, but authenticity matters. The key is making sure our honesty is guided by wisdom, grace, and humility, not just emotion. “Speak the truth in love.” - Ephesians 4:15 NIV #DSLDPodcast #ChristIsKing

Does anyone else feel like being too real has caused more problems in your life?

@candacecbure Truly a great show. I always looked forward to it.

May 23, 1995... the final episode of #FullHouse aired. 🥹 31 years later, I still remember it like it was yesterday. It was an incredibly emotional day, filled with tears, giant bear hugs, and SO much gratitude. And because some memories are just too good not to wear… I made a few special pieces for all my fellow Tanner family fans. ❤️ shop.candacecbure.com

Afternoon ☀️ Not every season of life is meant to be comfortable. Some seasons are meant to strengthen your faith, deepen your character, and remind you how dependent we truly are on God. Keep going. There is purpose even in the struggle. “Consider it pure joy… whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” - James 1:2–3 NIV #DSLDPodcast #ChristIsKing

Amen. God is still in the miracle working business. Medicine has its place, but there are moments that remind us healing ultimately comes from the Lord. And even in the moments when healing does not happen the way we hope, God’s goodness does not change. Praising Him with you for your precious girl and the mercy He showed your family. “I am the Lord who heals you.” - Exodus 15:26 NIV #DSLDPodcast #ChristIsKing

God healed her with no bone marrow transplant or liver transplant. God still heals people. It’s not always his will, and he’s still good when it’s not but I’m sure glad it was His will to heal our precious girl.
