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 The Story of Us
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, I set out on my dating venture to meet my “soul-mate.”
Somewhere along my quest, I completely missed the intent of God’s desire for me.
I sought attention, validation, and affection from guys who were not equipped.
As I’ve shared in previous posts, our “favorites”are everything to us.
But when God chose to bring this one into our midst, I was captivated.
Perhaps in those early days, I pictured my own babies while catching a glimpse of her chubby cheeks and bright eyes.
Or maybe it was the way she adored her Uncle Ry Ry.
This new role that appeared out of no where, or so I thought, was teaching music to grade-school children.
The very humans I vowed never to serve were quickly becoming my greatest adventure…
