Restoring Hope, Faith and Love through Jesus. September 14, 2016. September 24, 2016. By definition survive means to live or exist despite a hardship but to Thrive means to prosper or flourish! As I began to review my life and how much it has changed in the last eleven years- I can totally see how I have survived, but only very recently have I been thriving. When you find healing and restoration begins to take place, you truly experience a new level of joy! Are you thriving or just surviving? I had the m...

Restoring Hope, Faith and Love through Jesus. April 13, 2016. May 18, 2016. I then wondered “how much time do we spend thinking about others opinions or thoughts of us instead of focusing on what God says about us”? I’m so guilty of allowing this to consume my mind, even causing me to drift so far out into the sea of worry that I lose all sight of land! Should we be in constant worry of what others say? Should we allow their perception of us to steal our peace? How does God feel about worry? April 13, 20...

Restoring Hope, Faith and Love through Jesus. Where is Hope Found? December 6, 2016. Two years ago God gave me a dream, not just any dream – but a profound unforgettable dream that shook me to the core in such a way that I had no other choice but to pay attention to it.

A flower can grow in the Desert – Patsy Freitag hopeforthewearyblog

Restoring Hope, Faith and Love through Jesus. A flower can grow in the Desert. August 22, 2016. August 30, 2016. When I look back at the last few months of the summer, I cringe at the thought of what we dealt with but I also see how we have grown leaps and bounds. I’m not going to say “I’d do it all again” haha….because I’m glad it’s over, but I am grateful for how it has strengthened our relationship with God, our children and each other. And when it bloomed…. WHOA! And just like that, we were out.

Restoring Hope, Faith and Love through Jesus. When Coping Just Isn’t Enough. October 26, 2016. October 26, 2016.

Restoring Hope, Faith and Love through Jesus. September 14, 2016. THRIVE. My new favorite word. When speaking with the founder of FOCUS ministries in Chicago a few weeks back, she made mention of the term thrive. She talked to me about workshops she did in the past for women who were victims of domestic violence etc… I began to think about the millions of women out there … More Made to Thrive.
