Giving Thanks

 We are within days of Thanksgiving, and I find myself feeling very thankful for the blessings of this first year of Journey to Hope.  We have been blessed since our opening date through now with an abundance of clients, and it is a privilege to be able to journey with you for this season in your life.  I am very thankful to know each and every one of you.  You each face many different challenges and struggles and it is my prayer that brighter days are ahead for many of you.  Giving thanks also to everyone who has made Journey to Hope possible is a gigantic task, as so many of you are a part of us. Thanks to all of you who help us make a difference in the lives of others.

Please be aware of our Thanksgiving week hours.  We will have regular counseling hours and scheduling Monday-Wednesday @ noon. (11/21-11/23)  We will be closed Wednesday afternoon/evening and Thursday and Friday (11/24-11/25), and will be back to our normal counseling schedule on Monday, November 28th.

"As we pause to thank Him for the blessings of the past year,
we must not forget to thank Him for the lessons we have learned through our difficult times.
We are not to be thankful for just the pleasant, easy things, but ALL things." Millie Stamm

Happy Thanksgiving!  Susie

Trees of Hope

Journey to Hope has decided to participate in the annual Trees of Hope project this year, and we are excited about our entry...The Drumbeat of Hope.... Trees are decorated by local individuals and businesses and displayed at the Fredericksburg Museum. Please follow this link for details about Trees of Hope. All proceeds go to the Hope House in Fredericksburg, a shelter for homeless women and their children. The website link is www.hopehousetrees.com. I have attached a photo of our tree. We could not resist a beautiful project filled with hope.

Blessings, Susie

Journey to Hope Scheduling

Hello everyone.  I wanted to post some schedule adjustments occurring over the next few days, just FYI.  I will be attending the AACC World Conference the end of this week (September 29-October 1) in Nashville.  I will be checking email and voice mail during that time, if you need to reach me.

I will also be attending my next doctoral class at Liberty from October 3-7.  My class runs from 8-4:30 Monday-Friday, so if you need to reach me, I will be checking voice mail and email at the end of each class day. 

I will be counseling on Saturday morning, October 8th from 9-1, and I will resume my normal counseling schedule on Monday, October 10th.

Please be aware that your situation and concerns are very important to me, and I will look forward to resuming our work upon my return.

Blessings,

Susie

Flag of Honor for 9/11

I found this amazing flag yesterday called the Flag of Honor,

and it lists all the people who lost their lives on 9/11. 

I have included a picture of it.

I  find myself incredibly sad as I remember that day, and how it changed all of us. I will never forget.

Never.

Praying for you as you remember. 

Susie
