This past year has been challenging. Probably the most challenging one I’ve had to face in my 28 years. Well, soon-to-be 28 years. Personally, I’ve gone through a lot, and as a family, we have had our trials. We’ve had our ups (Jacob getting married for one) and we’ve had our downs. When I was home one weekend in April, I noticed a verse my mom had written out on a scratch piece of paper.
It was Romans 15:13:
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
She had it taped up in her bathroom as a constant reminder to her that she was not alone and that anything is possible. That verse really struck a chord with me and I thought it would be something that I could make a little prettier for my mom and give to my siblings as well, as a reminder to us all. This verse gives me hope in whatever I am facing, and I wanted to share with you all. I know my trials are small in comparison to some, but no matter what, there is always hope.
It’s available for download in three different color schemes so that you may print it and place in an 8×10 frame:
I welcome my 28th year.
