The Warrior & The Worshipper

I want to live a life worth dying — 🕊️ The last few years, I’ve been so sick that I haven’t had the gift of truly living. I haven’t made my mark on this world the way I wish to. Recently, I realized something. I can still leave a legacy even if it’s from a hospital bed. I can still touch souls even if it’s through a screen.
Whether I have one year left on this earth or many decades to come, I want to share my testimony. The Warrior & The Worshipper isn’t just a podcast episode, it’s my story — well the condensed version anyways. Even when I could barely breathe, and my body refused to move, my spirit learned to praise. God turned my hospital bed into an alter, and I’ll never stop being thankful for that.
After continuing to battle late-stage Lyme Disease, I’ve learned many things, but the biggest one being that faith and a fighting spirit can coexist. My suffering has taught me the power of strength, but also the power of surrender. I’m so tired. Bone tired. Soul tired. But God does his best work when we’re at our weakest, and fragility isn’t failure — it’s proof that your body has fought battles it couldn’t bear, but your spirit and mind never gave up.

I pray that sharing my voice inspires others to share theirs, and I hope that if you’ve lived in blissful ignorance that this episode teaches you something about resilience. ♥️
