Having Hope

by Terri Ferran

Doesn't it seem sometimes that when really bad news comes, it is tempered by really good news? It's happened in my life more than once.

On Monday we got the news that my husband was being laid off from his job. A huge blow, especially since we are a single-income family. Just one of life's many struggles, however, and you just have to muddle through it.

On Wednesday I got the news that my second book, Having Hope, was accepted by CFI for publication! Excellent news!

It caused a moment of reflection that the Lord provides sustaining moments even through the biggest struggles, and that I need to practice what I preach with regards to my book titles--Finding Faith and Having Hope!

Congratulations on the acceptance. I'm so sorry about your husband's situation. I hope it works out well for him.

That is ironic. I'm glad you saw the silver lining. Now, if only it would rain down into your front yard...

Some more good news for you--I was at Deseret Book last night and Finding Faith was on the featured titles table. It was the first thing you saw when you entered the store. :)

Finding Faith. A perfect book written for times when you are faced with a trial such you are at this time. Hope your husband finds a job soon.
