Journey of Hope Hope is a Journey, in fact a life long journey. Without hope we would certainly despair. As the shape of the above title curves, so do our lives. We go from mountain top to valleys to mountain tops. It is when we are caught and constantly drawn down into a valley of despair we can be overcome. Then through the mist we reach out and grasp the hand of the one reaching out to you. Who is the one who has extended that hand? Well God uses different means, but mostly he uses ordinary people who put words into action. Love in action gives Hope. A Must Read Joyful Morning - A True Love Story New Birth - New Beginning I have an Avery with about 10 Canaries who wake us every morning with beautiful song. Recently a baby chick was born. It was at a time that I was going through a difficult time and continually saw and felt the pain all around me of those who hurt so bad. It was shortly after that there was that urging of new beginnings, a new focus in my life. Not because I asked for it, but somewhat forced up on me by a God who cares so much for me.

Love In Action                  Bible Verse of the Day
My favorite Bible verse says: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." ROM. 15:13. From this verse I am reminded that Hope is not within me to give but it is a gift from God. When I look up to my God of Hope, He will fill me with joy and peace - but only if I put my trust in Him. It is so easy to trust in my own strength. But the fantastic message is,      Trust in God and he will fill you with an abundance of Joy and Peace, so full.......... that we overflow with the urge to give it away NOT BY MY STRENGTH OR POWER but by the power of God the Holy Spirit.   Dream Deeply!  -  He Will Fill You! GO NOW!   -  GIVE IT AWAY!   -  TOUCH SOMEONE TODAY! Those of you who have gone through a crisis or a dark valley where it seemed impossible to rise above and subsequently have found healing through the one and only source who gives true healing - Jesus Christ - please let me hear from you and share your story with others. The one who lives within me is far greater than the one who lives in the world. I believe that sharing can be a very healing experience for those who often feel very much alone.
