Get Your Hopes Up: Believing God is Good Even When Life Brings Sorrow

Let’s call this one another entry in the “Couch Chats” series - where we pull back the curtain and talk about life, as if you were sitting on my couch having coffee with me. 
 
If we’re honest, the first few months of the year have been hard for us, and maybe you can relate. Which is why today I want to share some encouragement around “getting your hopes up” even if that might feel impossible right now. BEcause here’s what I know to be true: God is in the business of working everything together for His glory and our good, and if it’s not good, He’s not done. 
 
Thanks for always letting me share my heart with you. Grab your favorite drink and let’s chat.
