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!
