HOPE
IS AN
ANCHOR
For Your Soul
For anyone that has ever felt
"Less Than"
And you always seem outnumbered
You don't dare make your stand...
-BOB SEGER (& METALLICA)
For anyone that has ever lived in the darkness
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when...
-JOHNNY CASH
For anyone that has ever messed up
time & time
again
I was hiding from the sun
once again...
-KID ROCK
I love all of you...
hurt by
the cold
-RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
Never Lose Hope
God is good.
God can do anything.
God makes beauty from ashes.
God makes a way when
you cannot see a way.
God gives you favor.
God brings you peace.
God brings you through it.
God makes the impossible
possible.
And God loves you.
