Welcome!

I’m so thankful you found me! This is my first blog entry, and honestly…I’m learning as I go! I am excited that you can find both my podcast and my blog on the same platform. I am hoping to utilize this space for both updates on my cancer journey and for all the things the Lord lays on my heart! I’m very excited for you to join along!

So, a little about me…I am a mom of four, ranging in age from 4-17, a wife to Scott of 22 years, a health coach, podcaster, Speech Language Pathologist and an inspiring writer. (don’t judge me too hard, :) I’m realizing even as I type this, that I use way too much punctuation and miss my use of emoji’s! Ha…that says a lot about me. In mid-August I was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia/Lymphoma. While it definitely was a shock, I quickly recognized the Lord would use it for His glory! I look at it as a “partnership” to proclaim His truth, His love and push forward His Kingdom agenda. I often say, “I would rather be right at His side walking through a mess, than far, far away from Him. I’ve found that in this space of being stripped away of certainty (which was a false assurance anyway) and in this raw, desperate place…He is so near, so real and reveals Himself in a new way. So, I guess you could say, I am in both the unknown and the sweetness of the Lord.

Immediately as this journey began, He started to highlight “my assignment”. I have found that He will plop perfect strangers in my path to witness to in an organic way. I’ve connected with so many people who need hope, peace and knowledge of His love for them. After having my first biopsy, I awoke from the procedure and had a word for the anesthesiologists. He may have thought I was a bit crazy, and I will most likely never know what came of the seed I planted, but I decided in that moment…this is not about me. I will not waste this journey one little bit. If the Lord tells me to talk to a stranger, I will. If he tells me to go pray over someone, I will. If He tells me to talk or write about something..I will. This will not be wasted. I am receiving such a supernatural amount of peace and hope, that I pray it is contagious. I pray others walk along side this journey and it urges them to know Him more, to accept His love and forgiveness. I pray this journey is so overflowing with eternal value.

So, join along for the ride. I will most likely post stories, thoughts, updates and prayer requests. I pray HOPE leaps off of each entry and into your heart!
