My name is Hope. Prior to October of 2003, after having spent much of my life struggling with addictions, depression, and the psychological effects of having been repeatedly sexually abused, I came to the end of me. 

 

I could share some eye-popping stories and memories, but that would be unproductive because I would rather you to focus on the victory I received when I gave my heart to Jesus. 

​

I was blessed with two awesome sons, but nothing in my past prepared me to be an awesome mother. I cursed and punished myself on a regular basis for all my shortcomings and failures; I was filled with shame over my failed marriage. There was a major lack in my education. I did not know how to have mature and safe relationships. 

​

At the end of October 2003, filled with desperation and thoughts of suicide, there were times that I believed my children would be better off with anyone but me. The problem was that I knew no one could love them in the same way I did. And I truly did love them. When your running and getting nowhere - there's a serious issue. Finally, I surrendered my life to Jesus and my trajectory changed. I did not understand what fully committing my life to Jesus could or should look like. 

​

Obtaining forgiveness from my Heavenly Father was beyond my comprehension. How could God forgive me when I couldn't forgive myself? Why would he send Jesus to the cross to die for me? How did my grain of faith lead me to salvation and eternal life?

​

Jesus gave me hope at a time when I had none. I was empty and he filled me and loved me and I could never imagine going back to my old life.

​

I want this for you! And this is why we have put this website together - to give you hope and faith - no matter how miniscule - that would encourage you and bring you to a saving grace.

​

Take that step - even if you don't understand fully what you are doing - he will make it known to you.

​

May God bless you, make his face to shine upon you and give you peace.

"but in your hearts honour Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect."  1 Peter 3:15 ESV
