Here’s how I got my spark back

I thought getting my spark back would look like feeling like the old me again. It didn’t. It looked like finding myself in His presence again. There’s something about getting back in the presence of God and doing what He created you to do that makes you come alive again. 🥹🤍 “The joy of

Cancer taught me that sometimes the thing you’re afraid of actually does happen. But it also taught me that God will meet you there. 🤍 Anxiety is something I still have to fight. Sometimes it’s about cancer coming back. Sometimes it’s my kids. Sometimes my mind can take one tiny thing and run

Cancer taught me so much

Until you’ve had a fight with your own health and your own body just to live, it’s hard to understand. If cancer taught me anything it’s that there is a time to fight and there’s a time to let Jesus fight for you. #cancer #cancerjourney #BreastCancerSurvivor #breastcancer

Style my chemo hair with me

Chemo regrowth girls… WHERE ARE YOU? 😂🙋🏼‍♀️ Growing my hair back has been a whole journey of its own, and every few weeks it seems like I have to figure out how to style a completely new head of hair. 😂 But I’m learning to have fun with every stage because this little head of regrowth is some

Something I’ve learned

I’ve heard things like: “You have to stop living in the past.” “It’s time to move on.” “Just be thankful you’re alive.” And the thing is… I AM thankful. More thankful than I could ever put into words. I’m thankful I get to wake up beside my husband. I’m thankful I get to raise my babi

Come get ready with me for church while I tell you a little about what “normal” looks like after cancer. ❤️ I thought finishing cancer treatment would mean going back to normal. I’m learning there really isn’t a going back. There’s just learning how to live in the new. Sundays look a lot l

Cancer changes everything

Cancer changed a lot of things about me, but maybe the biggest is how I see the ordinary. ❤️ Sitting in a gym watching my daughter do gymnastics might not look like a big deal to anyone else. But after fighting stage 3 cancer, getting to be here for the little moments feels like one of the bi

Cruelty after cancer

There is a new cruelty after cancer. It’s when your hair starts growing back, but somehow the fight gets harder. I remember the night I shaved my head. My hair was falling out, and I sat in the bathtub and sobbed. I remember looking at myself and thinking, This can’t possibly get worse than t

Kindness always wins

She thought she was just complimenting my hair. She had no idea what those few words meant to me. 🥹 Last year, I lost my hair while fighting cancer. So when a complete stranger stopped me the other day just to tell me she loved my hair, it hit a little differently. She didn’t know my story. S

5 things they don’t tell you once you ring the bell

5 things no one tells you AFTER you ring the bell 🔔 1. The fear changes shape. During treatment, fear is loud. After, it gets sneaky. A headache. A MyChart ping. A random ache at 10pm. It has a name: scanxiety. “Do not fear, for I am with you.” Isaiah 41:10 2. You can grieve and be gratef

Last summer Vs. This summer

Last summer I was in chemo chairs, hospitals, no hair, googling life expectancy. This summer living life again. Yes life looks different for me now, but atleast I’m still here living it. God didn't waste it. 🎀 If you're in the hard summer right now your next summer can look differe

Taking it back

Cancer took a lot from me. It changed my body. It shook my confidence. It interrupted my plans. It brought days I never imagined I would have to walk through. But somewhere along the way, I realized something… The enemy doesn’t get to keep what he tried to steal. So I’m taking back my j
