April, a Bridge Graduate from 2006, volunteers at The Bridge office. April picked up a devotional and read it out loud. The day’s entry was titled “Remember the Bread” in Max Lucado’s “God is with you Every Day.”
As she read, it made me consider her journey. She took the first step to get sober, but needed more. She needed a place to begin again for her and her children. The devotional “Remember the Bread” reads “governments don’t feed the soul. This secular relief house can give a bed, a meal, and valuable counsel. But we give much more. Not just help for this life but hope for the next.”
You give so much more! Your willingness to support The Bridge to Hope provides housing, mentoring, and discipleship to a mother and her children. Your support not only gives her a bed and a meal, your support gives her a new start to her journey. Her journey to learn God’s will for her life, and how to live abundantly and with joy in His will, even when life still happens.
Today, a new mother, Aaliyah, came to the office seeking a bed, and the Faith Bible Church team moved her in. I look forward to watching her grow, heal, and seek His will as April did so many years ago.
Thank you for giving April a home and “Not just help for this life but hope for the next.” Thank you for giving Aaliyah not just a home today, but a new start on her own journey to learn God’s will for her life and how to live abundantly with joy in His will.
Thank you for giving me a home and not just help for this life but hope for the next, and you give Aaliyah not just a home today but hope for her future. These mommas are given a chance to dream. There’s freedom there, but work to do. They are given a new perspective. They are given choices, and I pray the next momma chooses freedom from her past. Freedom from her stinkin’ thinkin. Freedom from her prior decisions. Freedom from self-doubt. Freedom from self-worth. I pray she learns her true identity is in Christ alone.
