Hey You!
I’m Liv. A letter-writing, Jesus-loving, sunset-chasing, very average girl who stumbled upon a journey of chronic pain which Jesus is so gracefully redeeming.
Let’s hold hope together.

Mind if I share a bit of my story?
I didn’t set out to become an author.
Truthfully, I was just desperate for some hope for myself.
At the age I should’ve been busy with homework and midnight adventures, I was instead thrown into a crazy journey with my health so I decided to write an article processing what God was teaching me through this “behind-the-scenes” pain.
Then the article got published by a ministry. And God used it to encourage other believers. And it encouraged me. So I did it again… and again.
One weekend as I was praying, an idea flooded my heart. I started dreaming of having a pen-pal. A younger sister facing a similar health journey. Someone I could write letters to. The things I wish someone would’ve shared with me. We could hold hope together.
It didn’t take long for the Holy Spirit to prompt me...put the letters in a book.
So I did. And God miraculously opened the door for Hold Hope to be published in the fall! I believe the doors He has opened are an undeniable evidence that God is in this story, and I sincerely long for this book to leave you with a little hope, and a lot of Jesus.
Hold Hope: Encouragement to the Christian with Chronic Pain
“Think of me as a pen-pal of sorts sharing what I wish someone would’ve told me at different points in my journey.”
Letters of Encouragement
Letters of Encouragement
Together we’ll wrestle through the big questions:
● Does God care?
● Am I being punished?
● Will I be healed?
● How do I get through another pain-filled day?
● Am I crazy? Or is this actually so, so hard?
