FINDING HOPE AMIDST THE FRAGMENTS OF LIFE

We all start out with big dreams and plans. Think graduation speech where we’re going to take on the world! Leave our mark! Make it big! But then, as the saying goes, life happens.

No one is left untouched by life’s trials. Death, divorce, disability, job loss, financial troubles – just to name a few. When these things happen, the questions arise:

■Why is this happening to me?

■What did I do to deserve this?

■Will life ever be “normal” again?

■How do I do this?

■Where is God?

Welcome to Fragments to Hope where together we can pick up the pieces of your broken dreams and arrange them in a beautiful new pattern that may be different from what you envisioned, but will be lovely just the same. This is a place to trust God again or perhaps for the first time. This is also the place for bits and pieces of information, reflection, and respite – where I know your life is crazy and you don’t have the time for one more thing.

So grab a cup of tea and relax. You deserve it! Learn a new way to cope, a new way to trust, maybe have a much needed chuckle, and begin building your own mosaic by gathering the fragments of your life, rearranging them, and finding hope.
