Our Story...

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!

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:28-31

The Story of Us, Managing Chronic Illness

I found myself questioning my purpose because as each day passed I was having to “let go” of responsibility, no longer able to fulfill previous roles within vocational ministry. Yet, I would paste a smile on my face, no matter how badly I felt, telling others I was “FINE.” To most of the outside world, I look “fine,” that is until they see me unconscious on the floor, or being wheeled out in a rush to make sure I stay safe.
