About Me

hestermom
It's so interesting what God uses to teach us...Most recently for me, He used a Veggie Tale Video. The Easter Carol is all about what it would be like without the HOPE of Easter. You'll have to watch it. But, it's led me on a journey of thinking about how important HOPE is, and how awful it is to live without it. And so, I am one of the most blessed, because I have the hope of Christ, the hope of life, and the hope of heaven. Sometimes, when life is overwhelming and lonely, I remind myself that there is a great need for HOPE. And that I already have it. P.S. I am married to an amazing follower of Christ, and we homeschool our five children.
