I believe in the power of our words to change people's lives. We can use our words to build others up...to encourage them...or to tear them down. I want to be the kind of person who lifts others up. I want to be the kind of person that helps others find their mission in life and then fulfill their calling. I believe that God puts each one of us here for a purpose and mine is to encourage others.
What I want to do with this website is to create a place where people from all walks of life can come and find encouragement. Sometimes we need to be encouraged spiritually, mentally, emotionally, professionally, or for other reasons like being encouraged to pursue an education. That's what I want this website to do.
I hope these links to videos, other writers, news articles, stories of success, and testimonies of how others overcame will inspire you to do the same. I love to read a story or watch a video of someone who beat the odds. That's what I want to collect here. Why? So you will be convinced that you too can overcome...that you will make it to the other side.
Come back often and share your stories too. Who knows, your words may be just what someone needed to hear so they can make it through....

Another definition of hope is the gathering together in one place. What I am hoping to do is to gather together in one place encouraging and uplifting stories. I want to help you find the hope you need to make it through.
