Hope Restored

<p>Hope restored was birthed in me in 2012. &nbsp; The Lord clearly spoke to me about preaching the gospel, specifically to those who have been wounded inwardly by life circumstances.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;To those who feel they are broken, damaged and inwardly dying.&nbsp; &nbsp; In 2012 I didn't understand the cost of carrying this kind of calling but as the song Oceans says I prayed to have trust without borders.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The next 11 years has taken me on quite the adventure of being broken, feeling like I was damaged beyond repair, and feeling dead on the inside.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Divorce, loss of jobs, loss of my&nbsp; home, loss of ministry, loss of a church, health issues, surgeries, blindness, moving, loss of friends and support system, , new marriage (to the love of my life), struggling, depression, and fear.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I can tell you I ran from God during a season and was not the mother I should have been.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I lost hope.&nbsp; &nbsp; I was mad at God and questioned why more times than I can count.&nbsp; &nbsp; But.....</p><p>How can you minister to a specific area if you haven't experienced it?&nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p>Through this experience I have learned the love of the father, the forgiveness of God, the grace that he richly pours out. &nbsp; I learned that the enemy means to harm but God will turn it around for good.&nbsp; I learned what being in a pit of darkness feels like and how my Jesus turned to me, heard my cry, and lifted me out and set my feet on the rock!&nbsp; . &nbsp; He put a NEW SONG IN MY HEART! &nbsp; He not only restored me but completely transformed me- from the inside to the outside. &nbsp; I learned that I can be loved (not only by Jesus but by Jeremiah too)</p><p>It's now 2023-&nbsp; 11 years later....and hope restored is birthed!&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Do I have all the answers?&nbsp; No, but I will point you to the ones who does. &nbsp;</p><p>Jesus&nbsp;</p><p>Do I still struggle some days? &nbsp; Yes, but I know who my source is.&nbsp;</p><p>Jesus.&nbsp;</p><p>As we journey together my hope, my aim is to point you to a&nbsp; Savior who can resurrect the dead, mend broken hearts, put you back together and love you with an everlasting love. &nbsp; He is the healer. &nbsp; He is the hope dealer. &nbsp; He is the source of joy.&nbsp; &nbsp; He can calm the storm within you and will give you peace.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p>So, welcome to hope restored.......as we journey through life together may your hope be restored.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p>Love you all,&nbsp;</p><p>Missy Dale</p>
