Infusions of Hope
The Gift of Presence in Grief
Grief changes us, but we are never alone. Discover the gift of presence, hope, and God’s unshakable nearness in the midst of sorrow and loss.
(Perspective) Fixing our Eyes
How do we shift our focus? How can we change how we view our difficulties? God’s hand is in the middle of our stories and He wants us to look to Him to catch His perspective.
Veil of Drops: Grieving Chronic Illness and Finding Light Beyond Pain
Chronic illness and pain take much from us—normalcy, abilities, dreams, and even relationships. It is natural to grieve and mourn those losses. Explore the sorrow and numbness of loss, but also the tender arrival of light, hope, and healing. Through grief, we can begin to see differently, breathe again, and slowly move forward into a new way of living.
