A Redesigned Life {Book Review}

September 3, 2019 by Barbara

A Redesigned Life book

A Redesigned Life by Tracy Steel   First of all, I just want to thank the author, Tracy Steel, for writing this one. I believe it will help many who have a redesigned life, one they didn't choose.

October 31, 2018 by Barbara

Welcome!


Hi Friend, Welcome to my corner of the online world, where I write to encourage and give hope. I believe everyone could use a dose of hope from time to time so whether you need hope for your marriage, your closet or anything in between, I hope you find some encouragement here.

Having been through some hard situations, I understand what it's like to live hopeless, depressed, angry and bitter. Until God rescued me in His Love and Grace. In Him, I found an Anchor to keep me safe and secure. My passion is to share how He has rescued me and give others encouragement, as He has for me.
