Hope for Tomorrow | She Chose Hope Guest Post

I’m honored to have my article “Hope for Tomorrow” published as a She Chose Hope story.

Moments that mark our lives—the ones we never anticipate being writing into our stories—can be hard to remember. With time and distance it’s these moments I’ve found to be worth remembering because they are the ones that tell the story of God’s faithfulness.

While time may paint an ever-evolving story, the same truth will always shine through: God has been faithful. There is healing and hope in uncovering that to be true when we are walking an unknown path.

Living Life with a Rare Disease | A Look Back on the Last Year

Living Life with a Rare Disease | A Look Back on the Last Year

A lot can happen in a year, and seemingly nothing at all.

It has been nearly one year since my MRI revealed tumor growth post-chemotherapy treatment.

While I’ve been open about my journey throughout the years, I haven’t shared much publicly since that day. No concrete path upon which to tread has left me needing some space to process each component of this ever-evolving story.

Today, I’m offering a glimpse behind the scenes into what life with a Desmoid tumor has held this year.

The Power of Naming Our Fears

The Power of Naming Our Fears

We can’t deal with what we won’t acknowledge.

We aren’t meant to stuff our fears. We aren’t meant to pretend they don’t exist. We can welcome our fears as a way to uncover a deeper truth about ourselves. Fear doesn’t have to be the enemy. Naming our fear can help lead us out of the valleys we encounter and into the light.
