Hope for the Soul Kimberly Michelle Ford

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME IN GOD'S HEART: After 7 years of volunteering to serve the men, women, and children at a very popular outreach center in Atlanta, GA, I stumbled upon an amazing personal discovery. I came to the humble realization that homelessness is not simply a state of physical destitution. But homelessness is also a place of spiritual and emotional emptiness. It is very true that some live in a perpetual state of misfortune and need the relationship, the challenge, and the encouragement of others to "dare to hope" that their circumstances are only temporary. Many undoubtedly need financial relief to end their state of homelessness. Yet, each of us, whether well off or destitute, can attest to the fact that at one point or another we have felt abandoned and displaced. While serving as an outreach leader, I found a new family. I discovered though I had a physical dwelling, I too was in an emotional state of homelessness. While serving the homeless, I struggled to conquer my own issues with abandonment. I found myself desperately attempting to place the pieces of my own life in a recognizable order. And it was while serving that I found an extension of God's family that are far too often overlooked, disqualified, and misunderstood. Each month I would show up with a fresh sermon in hand-ready to inspire and motivate those whom "I thought" were in need of encouragement. But each time, I left with the discovery that I needed it more than any of them. I arrived ready to inspire, but left all the more inspired myself. HOPE FOR THE SOUL is inspired by the men, women, and children seeking love, purpose, and a reason to believe that a better experience of life exists. In this book, you too will discover that there is a secret place in God's heart to find all the rest, affirmation, and love you have been longing for. HOPE FOR THE SOUL is guaranteed to strengthen your ability to: *Speak life to every dead dream*Pursue your God-given power*Declare freedom from past failures*Perform at maximum capacity in His strength*Trust God and His promises to build a better life!!
