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!

Why was he wasting time looking at a photo album and not helping me?
I exhaled a silent prayer for patience and shuffled over to see what it was I was being beckoned to view.
Tears stung the back of my eyes and remorse greeted me as I noticed the album in question.
I am frequently asked how I cope, living with a chronic illness and what I miss most about life before. While that often seems like a strange question as I strive to live in the present, if I answer honestly, I find my response is incredibly vain.
Worry immediately gripped me and I am ashamed to admit my first thought was, “Lord, why am I having to endure this?”
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
