The Strongest Ladies I Know

"But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed,
but of those who have faith
and preserve their souls."
Hebrews 10:39

Hey ladies! I came across this scripture this weekend and had to share it with you all!! This is a great scripture because it can minister to you no matter what you are going through in your life right now!!

All of you that I have met or known on Hannah's Hope really are the strongest women I know. You have endured so much, yet remain kind, compassionate and willing to let God heal your hearts and keep on going.

Through all this, I believe that one of the most important things we can do is allow healing to take place in our hearts. To not let bitterness or resentment take root in our souls. When we hear the word soul, some think of the spiritual part of us. But when you study out the original meaning behind the word soul in the bible, you find that it means, "our mind, will or emotions." Also, in dictionary.com you find that it means, "the emotional part of human nature".

We have to choose not to let what has happened (no matter what it is) in our lives to destroy our souls, but we choose to preserve and keep faith that God will see us through and we will come through this!

So I encourage you to keep moving forward, keep the faith, keep hope and don't shrink back! Keep moving forward with your life and your relationships and your dreams.

You ladies are amazing and I love you so much!!! Keep it up!!!

"God I pray right now that our friends are strengthened continuously through you and that they do not grow weary, but are continually built up through your word and comforted. I thank you that you have them under the shadow of your wing and that peace and joy fills thier heart today. In Jesus Name, Amen."

Devotion- Hold Fast

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering for He who promised is faithful! And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together as some, but encouraging one another!!!" Hebrews 10:23-24

I read this scripture this Sunday as we were waiting for church to start and it really hit me. Have you ever just heard something over and over, but then just at the right moment God just reveals something to you through it that you have never seen before?

This scripture means so much to me! "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering for he who promised is faithful!" That means hang onto that hope! Don't stop talking about what you are hopeful for! Keep the vision before you as a goal that you can and will reach somehow one day! We might not know the exact way or timing that our hearts desires will be fulfilled, but I believe God wants them to be! (God gives us the desires of our hearts.)

So the other part of that "stirring up one another to love... encouraging one another..." Just lets me know that all of us who have become friends are just doing what God wants us to do! We can be encouraging and loving to one another~ I can't tell you how many times I may have been having a "bad" day and one of you has encouraged me and made my heart happy. And I hope that I have been the same to you~.

Keep up all the good work ladies! You can get through this if you are in the midst of anything in your life, no matter what it is.. infertility, loss, anything!

Love you lots!
