Reflecting on the Old; Expecting the New

December 30, 2021 by Barbara

Isaiah 43:19

A lot of good came out of some bad in 2021 but I'm looking forward to seeing God in the new year. You too? It's a good time for reflecting and expecting.

November 11, 2021 by Barbara

Recently we went to Columbus, Ohio to hike and play for a change. I did not have any tests, appointments, or procedures this time!

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.
