With Every Joy and In Every Hope
This journey with OMS has brought me to my knees more times than I can count. It has stretched me, refined me, broken me open and built something stronger in its place. And with every joy, in every hope, there is Jesus.
There have been days filled with fear. With doubt. With exhaustion that sank into my bones.
But there have also been days of joy. Joy that surprised me. Joy that snuck in quietly and wrapped itself around the hardest moments.
That’s what I’ve learned: joy and hope can live alongside pain. They’re not emotions reserved for the easy days. They are gifts from God, woven right into the messy middle of the story.
With every joy, in every smile, every step forward, every laugh that returned after weeks of silence, I saw God’s fingerprints. With every hope, in every prayer whispered through tears, in every night I chose to believe again, I saw God’s faithfulness.
This journey hasn’t been linear. Healing rarely is. There were setbacks, victories, and there were days I felt like giving up. Then there were days when I couldn’t help but praise because of the progress, because of the peace, because God had carried us one more step forward.
With every joy, in every hope, God was there. Not one moment missed. Not one tear wasted. Not one prayer unheard.
Maybe you’re in a hard season of your own, maybe your story doesn’t look like mine, but your heart still needs to know that joy is still possible. Hope is still alive. Not because of the outcome, but because of Who walks with you.
