    • MHTY SPECIAL: Engagement, Medical Scare, and the Messy Middle

      I’ve been off social for a month now. As some of you have seen, this past month has been filled with medical challenges.


      After coming off the high of an engagement, experiencing the news that I could potentially have bone cancer and/or an auto immune disorder was devastating- but man oh man, did I see God in the midst of all of those hospital appointments, blood tests, and bone scans like never before. 


      We got the news 3.5 weeks later that everything was cleared- the cells are not cancerous. 


      I share this because you all will have seasons where life goes exactly the opposite of the way you thought- please don’t lose hope.


      God’s light shines its brightest in the dark.
