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.
Seemingly insurmountable obstacles in life kept piling up, and I was stuck! I felt utterly paralyzed by an inability to move in any direction.
Maybe I had stepped out too early or didn’t hear God correctly when it came to sharing His message of hope through my writing.
My petite grandmother, the matriarch of this abundant clan, loved two things above all else, her Savior and her family. My early memories are filled with family camping trips, cookouts, holidays and reunions. However, the time spent getting to know her as an adult will forever be among my favorite recollections.
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.
