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!
In 2018 the circumstances of life seemed to crash in around me, slowly robbing me of my identity and community. I clung desperately to the only ONE who could provide peace.
Out of the ashes the Lord stirred within my spirit asking, “if nothing in your life ever changes, am I enough for you?” I wrestled with the answer as I believed He would bring healing and restoration to our situation. But the quiet pleading plagued my restless slumber, “Am, I enough for you?”
With a grudging heart I cried out, “Yes, I will give you my health to do with as you see fit, I will give you my pride, bitterness, and anger toward those who seek to harm me.”
“Lord, you are enough!”
As my prayer was uttered, a Hope that Soars was born. The passage from Isaiah 40:31 became my battle cry as words began to flow and God’s message of encouragement came easily through my blog.
My writing stalled as 2020, ushered in its own unique challenges. I felt ill equipped to address any issue being discussed by the people around me.
I cried out again asking the Lord for direction and was drawn back to the passage I had been grasping so tightly, for nearly two years... this time though, it wasn’t the “walk and not faint” part that jumped out at me.
Rather, this message revealed my need to develop Renewed Strength!
Enter, MONAT, and the open doors of this incredible opportunity!!!
My writing continues as God stirs my heart to bless others. But, I am overwhelmed with gratitude that He is using this passage yet again to capture my attention; pointing me toward His promises, of following after Him with HOPE!!!
After 5 months of consistent use, I am seeing new growth, more volume, and less oil production.
Every girl feels sassy on a good hair day!! ♥️
My pores, fine lines and age spots are being refined with every wash!!
After the first few months, I started noticing shine and manageability to once dull and lifeless hair brought on by natural aging.
Seven months in and my pores are nearly invisible!!! What?!? All I did was change up my skin care, oh and bought some fabulous NEW mascara!!
Sometimes putting yourself out there is overwhelming and I don’t always get the perfect shot but I am learning a lot along the way.
