Project Hope
In case you ever wondered, my blog title is a line stolen from Louisa May Alcott. In Little Women, Jo March ponders her direction in life and says “I fear I am hopelessly flawed.”
I love Ms. Alcott, I love Little Women, and I simply adore Jo March. I connect with her. As a girl, I, too, struggled with feeling I didn’t fit in anywhere, and didn’t know where I was headed. I, too, was a tomboy. I, too, was (am) a writer.
And I, too, am Hopelessly Flawed.
An imperfect specimen.
But my Redeemer is perfect, and it is through Him that I have hope.
Generally, I try to stay on neutral ground here. I have strong beliefs, but I don’t want to alienate anyone. I am not ashamed! But I cannot share anything if I chase someone away, either. So mostly I try not to put my beliefs ‘out there’ in a way that would be a turn off, but occasionally I do have to fly my Jesus flag.
Something has been on my heart for a while now, and it’s time to put my money where my mouth is. Find a need and fill it.
You may have noticed the button to the right over there. [Feel free to snag, please, if you'd like to help spread the word.]
The idea is simple – no pressure, no preaching, just a book. I’m offering to send a Bible to anyone who would like one but cannot afford it.
You can click the logo above to read more about the Project (or there is a link in my header), and if you feel led to pray for it, I would appreciate that as well.
