Gloria shares how hope once felt too risky and too close to disappointment, but slowly became something she could bring honestly before God. In the story of Lazarus, she sees a God who doesn’t rush past the moment, but pauses, notices, and meets the heart. Maybe hope doesn’t begin with outcomes we want to see but with being seen.

Gloria Gaspard lives in London, where she spends her time being a fantastic mum to her daughter, working for Transport for London and serving at her local church in Hackney.
