Hope restored was birthed in me in 2012.   The Lord clearly spoke to me about preaching the gospel, specifically to those who have been wounded inwardly by life circumstances.     To those who feel they are broken, damaged and inwardly dying.    In 2012 I didn't understand the cost of carrying this kind of calling but as the song Oceans says I prayed to have trust without borders.       The next 11 years has taken me on quite the adventure of being broken, feeling like I was damaged beyond repair, and feeling dead on the inside.     Divorce, loss of jobs, loss of my  home, loss of ministry, loss of a church, health issues, surgeries, blindness, moving, loss of friends and support system, , new marriage (to the love of my life), struggling, depression, and fear.      I can tell you I ran from God during a season and was not the mother I should have been.      I lost hope.    I was mad at God and questioned why more times than I can count.    But.....

How can you minister to a specific area if you haven't experienced it?   

Through this experience I have learned the love of the father, the forgiveness of God, the grace that he richly pours out.   I learned that the enemy means to harm but God will turn it around for good.  I learned what being in a pit of darkness feels like and how my Jesus turned to me, heard my cry, and lifted me out and set my feet on the rock!  .   He put a NEW SONG IN MY HEART!   He not only restored me but completely transformed me- from the inside to the outside.   I learned that I can be loved (not only by Jesus but by Jeremiah too)

It's now 2023-  11 years later....and hope restored is birthed!    

Do I have all the answers?  No, but I will point you to the ones who does.  

Jesus 

Do I still struggle some days?   Yes, but I know who my source is. 

Jesus. 

As we journey together my hope, my aim is to point you to a  Savior who can resurrect the dead, mend broken hearts, put you back together and love you with an everlasting love.   He is the healer.   He is the hope dealer.   He is the source of joy.    He can calm the storm within you and will give you peace.   

So, welcome to hope restored.......as we journey through life together may your hope be restored.     

Love you all,
