Did Not See That Coming

Laurie's message to you... Even if you think your life is over, itisn't!'Where you are' means where youare NOW and it can change. Itdoesn't have to be the end; it can bethe starting point for something new. Look, it really is okay to strugglesometimes. It's also okay to allowother people to help. If you're havinga hard time, that doesn't mean youhave nothing to contribute! Even ifyou don't believe it yet, you do havesomething valuable and precious tooffer. We can give out of our nothingness- out of our despair - out ofour loneliness, even if it seems thewhole world is against you...even if itseems God has forgotten you,there's hope for you, too. That dream you have? It can stillcome to you, although it may changeform. You don't have to be able tosee the whole way right now. Thereare baby steps you can take everyday to bring that dream closer toreality. Bottom line - this is a message ofhope and healing for single parents. If you're struggling and alone rightnow, there is hope for you. If yourchurch or community doesn't understand,know that there is still a placefor you somewhere. If you knowsomeone who's scrambling to hold itall together, there are somereal-world things you can do to help. Live what you love,Laurie Hardie
