This story is one to remember.

Encourage one another daily.

It's the little boy who jumps on the Mickey Mouse bed for the first time. Maybe it's the child who came home from foster care, holding a golden key in the air screaming we have a home. Maybe it's the first time a little girl reaches out her hand for yours because she finally has learned to trust. Even in this moment, where you can see the visual difference of a little boy, who learned to let down his guard and love. Each moment brings tears to our eyes. The moments they come ...and we find out their stories, and the moments they graduate and we see the true revelation of transformation. This is Acres of Hope, the last program they will ever need. acresofhopeonline.org

1. God will open your eyes to the things that were unhealthy. 2. He will fill your heart with hope of what life could be in him. 3. He will call you to follow him as he transforms your life from the inside out. Are you ready to fall in full abandon into his loving care?... acresofhopeonline.org

Alumni of Hope This week there were so many smiles on my face. I saw a Child of Hope taking his first bus ride to school. I saw Alumni Mothers of Hope calling each other sisters as they met up to hang out. I saw a family photo taken that revealed the joy of new life. I saw multiple comical moments in a variety of alumni homes. I want you to know today our community, together we are seeing lives renewed. And the cycle of homelessness broken!!... acresofhopeonline.org

Sometimes we look at those who seem from our perspective undone, yet they are near to God as they have asked him to refine them from the fallen state of this world, What we fail to realize at times is they are looking at us from within the grips of being held in the comfort of the Saviors arms asking Jesus why we won't let him do the same with us. Sometimes to renew a life God has to undo a life. Tilling the soul so that new seeds can birth new life. Trust the process. acresofhopeonline.org

They can be anything!
