Hope {Day 14} – Hope Amidst Loneliness

Rebekah Freed

Here’s a poem I wrote quite a while ago about those who find themselves struggling with loneliness and the hope found in God’s Word.  I randomly stumbled upon it earlier today and thought I’d share.   ALONE An empty box of tissues Beside a pile of ones filled with tears A drenched pillow nearby Held… Continue reading Hope {Day 14} – Hope Amidst Loneliness

Tonight at the wonderful Philippians Short Course Bible Study at First Trinity we were studying chapter 4.  It’s a wonderful chapter which I strongly suggest everyone read.  (You could even do so right now by clicking here.)  Anyway, in summary here are a few things covered in that chapter: vs 4 – Finding JOY in… Continue reading Hope {Day 12} – Hope and Contentment… the Best of Friends

I remember moments sitting in the car as a little girl when mom would suddenly reach over and change the radio dial from whatever station it was on (normally one of the Christian radio stations) to KFDI, the country station in Wichita.  She didn’t turn the station because of the music really;rather, mom knew that… Continue reading Hope {Day 11} – “The Rest of the Story”

Hope {Day 7} – Giving Hope from Afar

Rebekah Freed

In a way, this post is kind of “Part 2” of yesterday’s post.  I mentioned yesterday that often in the times where hope needs to be offered, there aren’t really words or actions that can give that hope… rather, being present is simply enough.    While I believe that is often completely true, I can’t… Continue reading Hope {Day 7} – Giving Hope from Afar

HOPE {Day 6} – Giving Hope Simply Means Being Present

Rebekah Freed

Have you ever felt hopeless… not about your own life, but rather, hopeless about someone else’s situation?  You look at the situation and just wish there was SOMETHING…. ANYTHING you could do to help.  You don’t know what to do.  You don’t know what to say.  You long so desperately to give them hope, but… Continue reading HOPE {Day 6} – Giving Hope Simply Means Being Present
