When this finally gets published to the web, I will be in Ohio with thousands of youth (16 from First Trinity) learning about Jesus and praising Him together.  I can’t wait to get back Sunday and tell you all about it!   Yesterday I asked you to finish the sentence, “HOPE IS….” Today, I want… Continue reading Hope {Day 24} – Hope Prayers

Rebekah Freed

Gracious God, We bring before you the people of Haiti and pray that you would provide HOPE.  In a country that has needed so much help for so long, we continue to see devastation after devastation… an earthquake, the cholera outbreak, and now a hurricane on it’s way and those are only the “big” things. … Continue reading Hope {Day 22} – A Prayer of Hope for Haiti

Rebekah Freed

I’ve heard the stories again and again. Each one so distinct and unique, yet, so similar at the core. Something happened- Many things maybe. Something so horrifying it rarely, if ever, gets any attention in conversation. Yet, it gets all the attention in the heart.   Neglect. Rape.

As I continue to explore and discover hope, there are many things I could say and I even wrote an entire blog post for today already.

I was hoping to put this up yesterday in continuation to Day 15's discussion about LIGHT but after fighting with my computer for entirely too long yesterday, I gave up.  Thankfully, I was victorioius over my computer today and have this song, or the startings of one, to share: (Click the triangle to play.) This prayer asks God to… Continue reading Hope {Day 17} – LIGHT Part 2
