We Fear the Unknowns but we are not Unknown

November 14, 2019 by Barbara

Sometimes when you have a dream, you have to chase it regardless of the unknowns.  Last week I did just that in Charlotte, NC to attend a writer's conference. It was a wonderful experience and I gained HOPE in so many areas. I went with many unknowns and even felt unknown at times.  A gal I only barely met one other time rode with me. Thankful to have Yohanna in my passenger seat. We prayed before we took off and had God’s sense of presence with us the entire time. Even when we were stuck in Continue Reading

Today’s blog post is linked up with,  Emily P Freeman. She hosts a quarterly series, 'Sharing What We Learned', as a way to reflect on the past, sharing lessons learned or new experiences.

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.
