just before the first day

A few photos from just before we began. God was already showing us He was bigger than our dreams…..he took this empty space and we began the Journey to Hope.

Remembering the First Day

Good morning. Today marks the official 12 year anniversary of Journey to Hope. The day we opened our doors. But the details of Journey to Hope started way before thst date. With Andy, Sharla and I sitting around the kitchen table prayerfully discussing what our name would be and why, all the details of our name, our location, our furniture, our logo were part of those moments leading up to January 31, 2011. God is In This Story by Katy Nichole and Big Daddy Weave is a song that speaks to all the things that make up the stories of our lives, and holds out that hope is never gone. He has truly been in our story, and in all the details. This song speaks to us and we hope to you, as well, today. We are so thankful.

Happy 12th Anniversary to Journey to Hope

January 31st marks 12 years on this Journey to Hope! More will come this week as we reflect on this anniversary and what it means. But for now, can we just say thank you? Thank you to every person who has stood with us and behind us and partnered with us. Your support has made a life changing difference. Thank you to every team member from the beginning until now, you have been and are a gift to Journey to Hope, and we have benefitted greatly from your love and the gifts you brought and bring to the Journey to Hope table. And to each and every client who has walked through our doors, it has been and is our highest honor to journey with you for a season. Every single one of you matters so much. And thanks be to God, who proves over and over, to be so much bigger than our dreams. 12 Amazing, Beautiful years full of Hope! Blessings, Susie💙

Anger Management january 2023

Our next Anger Management Class begins this upcoming Saturday, January 21st at 9 am Eastern. Our next class begins Saturday January 21, 2023,at 9 am.

We also want to note that we have change d the way we are doing our anger management course. We have now completed two offerings of our new way of delivering the course. It is 2 Saturdays, 2 weeks apart. The first Saturday is from 9 AM to 1 PM. Then you have two weeks between sessions to give you time to complete your workbook assignments, and we meet again and finish up from 8:30 AM to noon. You are still required to attend all seven sessions and you must complete all of your workbook in order for us to certify that you have successfully completed the course. However, we are hoping this will work much better for those of you who have demanding work schedules and find it hard to commit to a seven week class without having travel or family interruptions in the middle of it.

We offer Anger Management as a group class for our primary format of delivery. Although you can opt to go through the Anger Management course individually, please be aware that there may be additional sessions to make sure you get through all of the material. You can be assured that we will work with you to help complete the course by the dates you need to be finished.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! My husband, Andy, faithfully takes the train in every week to DC at just around sunrise. He has taken a few of the best sunrise pictures on those trips. He will send me a sunrise gift via text on his way. These two of my favorites remind me that God takes the beginning of each day to show us what only He can do, and that He specializes in new beginnings and making all things new, and they are beautiful and full of promise. My prayer is that you will remember and believe a few things about yourself in 2023 that will help you hold onto Hope.

'You are amazing, capable, and worthy. You are made new in Christ. You were not given a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind. You are more than a conqueror in Christ who gives you strength. You were created on purpose for a purpose. You are loved. You are chosen. You are enough.' Blessings, Susie💛
