Accidental Hope

Send us a textIn 2024, I took a personal journey to seek refuge in the Lord. I meditated on Psalm 139, Proverbs 3, Luke 22, Isaiah 40, and everything in between byt following The Bible Recap. I did not record, publish or interview as I retreated to hear God's voice and will for my life and mininstry. How did he want to use this testimony I have been trusted with? I pray if my story offends or hurts anyone that you would forgive me and offer grace I don't deserve. I only want to serve the Lord. This is the story of why resting was needed and how my joy and hope have been restored.Want to support the show? Like, share, subscribe, follow, or leave a review!

October 4th 2021 was the 5th anniversary of remembering David and my journey after my accident. It was a good day. I stayed active physically, emotionally and spiritually. I went on a hike, lit a candle, journaled, prayed and I praised God for bringing me this far. Psalm 71 is my battle cry, verse by verse it speaks over this very season of my life like an anthem. Fitting it would land on Episode 71. God is certainly good!Want to support the show? Like, share, subscribe, follow, or leave a review!
