Welcome to Hope That Soars, where together, with my husband Ryan, we navigate the messiness of life by pointing people to the HOPE found in a relationship with Jesus.
Our journey is filled with heartache and the daily struggle of chronic illness, scripted by a loving Creator.
It is through Him we find LOVE, JOY, and STRENGTH to press forward.
I pray you will join us as we share life lessons gained through mishap, adventures, and everything in between. Perhaps somewhere along the way, you too will find, a HOPE that SOARS!
All in Managing Chronic Illness
Following this event, I found myself thinking about the game of life.
No, not the board game.
Our everyday, coming and going, goal pursuing, teammates required, type of living.
And I have discovered that there are aspects about chronic illness that leave people feeling unprepared.
For weeks, I had been trudging through, as familiar emotions bubbled beneath the surface.
I had walked this road before; in fact, this road was worn and muddy.
A path we have traveled for a decade.
Until those words were uttered, I was fairly certain I had gained complete control over this area.
Nevertheless, when I scrolled aimlessly through social media, my throat clenched as images raced before me.
So, naturally I repeated the phrase and genuinely believed, today would be my day.
I went so far as to act on those beliefs - filling my body, mind, and soul with only good things.
For hours, I pushed forth in my healing.
