Coming Soon...

I’ve always loved writing. It’s been a great way for me to process and apply truth to my heart over the years, as well as an opportunity to share what I’m learning and hopefully encourage others. So I’ve had various ideas and writing projects that I’ve worked on, but for reasons beyond my control, none ever came to fruition.

In battling chronic illness, writing suddenly became tremendously difficult, and I gave up the dream of anything ever panning out from a book or resource perspective. I also doubted my ability to write at all, because I found it to be so challenging. I stopped writing and even journaling for about a year and a half.

Then, an unexpected opportunity came to help write a biblical counseling booklet for chronic illness sufferers. Battling chronic illness personally opened my eyes to the lack of resources on this topic and the importance of a compassionate and hopeful approach to those who are suffering. So you can imagine my excitement and timidity when Dr. Mark Shaw said that we should write a booklet together!

Despite hardly writing a word for months on end, the words flowed seamlessly, and I knew exactly what I wanted to share. I can only attribute this to God's grace in how He's worked in my heart and the timing of this resource. I would have never chosen to write on this topic had I not walked through it and without someone else encouraging me to do it. Thanks to the help of a wise biblical counselor and author, the last year+ of work is finally nearing the end!

Hope and Help for Chronic Illness, co-authored with Dr. Mark Shaw, will be published this year! Honestly, I'm still in shock most days that it's actually happening. Our desire is that this booklet will be an encouraging, hopeful, compassionate resource for those battling chronic illness or walking with someone through its challenges.

Stay tuned for more of the story and for booklet updates… :)
