ABOUT US

I often used to say "Choose Joy." It was a life motto in a sense that I recited frequently...until I faced challenges that made me wonder...

"...but how?"

In the darkest of circumstances and most uncertain of seasons I began to discover that it wasn't as simple to "choose joy." Joy was less of a choice or a light switch I could flip on and off. Joy was a blessing, a gift, and a state of being that needed to be deeply rooted in something far more stable than my fragile willpower to choose. If my hope was rooted in my motivation to "choose joy," well there wasn't really going to be much hope there. I needed hope and joy rooted in a faith and a peace that surpasses all understanding, because sometimes in life we face challenges that we honestly just don't understand.

In this video, I discuss how my journey toward becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy allowed me to be the best advocate for myself and for my daughter. Most importantly, I discuss God’s provision every step of the way.
