My Book:
BEHIND THICK GLASS: A Journey Moving out of Rejection and into God's Love

I’ll be sharing my book, one chapter twice a month (on the 1st and 15th), in hopes that you will take the time to complete the activation and journal prompts and respond. I’d love your feedback - Did you experience healing? Has this been beneficial for you to read? Do you have any suggestions for writing improvements? It is my desire that this space be a safe place to share and connect with each other.

Hopelessness

What if hopelessness isn’t just a symptom of depression, but its root? Proverbs 13:12 says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick.” I lived with that kind of sickness for years—searching, aching, doubting. But Romans 15:13 reminded me that God is not just the giver of hope—He is hope. When we trust Him, He fills us with peace, joy, and the strength to hope again.
