Hope {Day 21} – How to Hand out Hope

Rebekah Freed

Sometimes I look around me and wonder if Christians really could have an impact on this world anymore.  It can be discouraging at times to look around and see our friends, our family members, our country, our world drifting farther and farther away from the Truth revealed to us in God’s Word.  BUT we don’t… Continue reading Hope {Day 21} – How to Hand out Hope

Hope {Day 20} – Long Term Hope

Rebekah Freed

This morning, as I read in Luke, I came upon this story: On a Sabbath, Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years.  She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.  When Jesus saw her, he called… Continue reading Hope {Day 20} – Long Term Hope

Hope {Day 19} – Made New

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.

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

Hope {Day 12} – Hope and Contentment… the Best of Friends

Rebekah Freed

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

Hope {Day 11} – “The Rest of the Story”

Rebekah Freed

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”
