My Story
I Didn’t Find Hope Until I Lost It
After graduating from Dartmouth College, my childhood dream to be a professional athlete came true. I played as a soccer goalkeeper overseas until a tragic illness suddenly ended my career.
In Africa, I took a prescribed medication to prevent malaria which built up toxic levels in my system. Fighting for my life for a year, it took ten years to fully recover.
Life was going one way, then with a jolt and out of my control, it would never go that way again. It was brutal and tested me to the core. The symptoms were physical and psychological, and I was scrambling to figure out my identity with so much loss and grieving.
I believe God does His greatest work in the darkest times. The pain in my life fueled and forged a new passion and purpose. I was in survival mode and needed more effective coping strategies.
I learned to cultivate hope habits. I discovered a vibrant hope that is greater than my challenges.
Hope is available to everyone. Hope is relational and habitual. I found a secure identity. I began to drop my walls and let people into the pain and receive comfort. Pouring out my heart in prayer and giving God my burdens was new.
A gritty gratitude, giving thanks intentionally even when I didn’t feel like it, became a daily choice. A shift into a career I never anticipated was an unplanned blessing. Stepping out of performance traps and landing in God’s grace transformed me. It was humbling, after several years, to regain the ability to drive a car again.
Abiding With JEsus Became My Greatest Joy
My battle with negative thoughts was fierce. I began to replace the destructive first thoughts and intentionally replace them with inspiring and true thoughts. Charting my progress and celebrating being able to walk a few more minutes over the course of the year was necessary. Abiding with Jesus became my greatest joy. I have experienced a gradual and deep healing journey on many levels. That is what I want to share with you and add value to your life.
God moves on many levels at the same time. The emotional, relational, intellectual, and spiritual aspects of your life are connected. The healing I experienced was gradual, powerful, and practical in many ways. At the lowest point of my life, I discovered a vibrant and indestructible hope.
