The holidays are a wonderful time to pause and give thanks for the blessings God places in our lives such as the people we share life with, the moments that shape us, and the grace that carries us through each day. It’s a season that reminds us to lift our eyes and recognize His faithfulness in both the ordinary and the extraordinary.

But we also know this time of year can feel lonely for some. Maybe you’re missing someone, walking through a transition, or just feeling disconnected. If that’s where you find yourself, please know that you are not forgotten or alone. God sees you, loves you, and understands you.

If the holidays feel heavy, here are a few gentle tips:

Lean into God’s presence and allow Him to be with you. Pray, blast some of your favorite worship songs, dive into your Bible or just sit in silence and be with Him.

Reach out to someone you trust, even with a short text or call because connection matters.

Finding a way to serve or encourage others can also bring meaning and community when you need it most.

This season, may you experience God’s peace in real and comforting ways, and may you be reminded that you are loved, seen, and have incredible worth!

Testimony Tuesday !!

Jennifer’s story is a beautiful reminder of why Hope Alive exists. When she walked through our doors, she was ready for change. She was hurting, overwhelmed, and longing for peace. Through therapy, support, and a growing relationship with Jesus, she found healing, freedom, and a renewed sense of purpose.

At Hope Alive, we get to witness God transforming lives just like Jennifer’s every day. He restores what was broken and brings hope where there once was none. We’re so grateful for the courage of women like Jennifer who do the hard work, trust the process, and step into the life God has for them.

Lord, this time of year can be really tough. The days get darker, the cold settles in, and sometimes our hearts feel heavier than usual. You see all of that. You see every quiet struggle, every moment we’re just trying to push through.

So Lord, we’re asking for Your comfort today.
Be close when our minds feel heavy.
Lift our spirits when everything feels a little too much.

And please remind us that it’s always okay to reach out for help. We don’t have to pretend we’re fine. We don’t have to do this alone.

Give strength and hope to anyone fighting seasonal depression right now.
Bring people into their lives who will listen, support, and care. And help us be gentle with ourselves in the middle of all of it.

Walk with us through this season, God.
One day at a time, one moment at a time.

Amen. 🙏💜🧡

If you’re struggling, please reach out. You’re not alone, you matter and you have incredible worth.

Meet Karen!

Karen is our newest licensed therapist here at Hope Alive. Karen’s story is one of faith, service, and a heart for helping others find freedom and healing. Originally from the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, she began her journey in ministry and spent ten years serving as a pastoral counselor and walking with people through some of life’s hardest seasons and helping them rediscover hope.

Life eventually brought Karen and her family to Fort Wayne, where she felt God calling her to go even deeper into trauma-focused work. In 2024, she began an internship with Hope Alive and quickly became part of the family. Karen finished her internship with Hope Alive in December of 2024. Karen officially became a permanent member of our team in September of 2025.

She’s trained in EMDR and trauma-informed therapy, and she’s passionate about helping people experience healing and hope for a brighter future. Her favorite part of counseling? Getting to see people set free and step into the life God has for them.

When she’s not counseling, you can find Karen spending time with her fun-loving doodle dog. 🐾

We’re so thankful to have Karen as part of the Hope Alive team — bringing warmth, wisdom, and a genuine love for seeing others transformed. 💜

David battled depression.
Hannah wept in desperation.
Moses wrestled with anxiety.
Peter struggled with anger.
Ruth thought her story was over.
Paul sat alone in a prison cell.
Elijah was so exhausted he wanted to give up.
Job lost everything and questioned his purpose.
Jesus wept too.

But God wasn’t finished with any of them. 🙌🙏
He turned their pain into purpose, their weakness into strength, and their mess into a message.
They came out with testimonies that showed what God can do through broken hearts and tired souls.

You may feel like everything’s falling apart,
but God is actually putting the pieces together.

If you’re in a hard season, hold on.
God is still in the details🖌
You are His Beloved 🫂
You are never alone🫶
The same hands that hold your pain are shaping your purpose.🥰

None of us have to have it all together and that’s the beauty of God’s grace.🙌

At Hope Alive, we believe healing happens when we bring our struggles into the light and find acceptance, not judgment. 🙏

Counseling gives our clients a place to grow, to stumble, and to be reminded that they’re loved right where they are.🤗

Dear Lord,

Some of us are starting this week with hearts that feel a little worn out. When we’ve got nothing left, remind us that Your strength never runs out. Fill us with peace, restore our hope, and help us find rest in You.

Lead us to the people who are good for our soul and right in Spirit and to those who lift us up and remind us who we are in You. And help us to be that kind of light for someone else today.

Even when life feels heavy, we trust that You’re still working, still healing, still faithful.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

For our Wednesday group this week our ladies painted rocks with words that tell their story and also remind them of what matters to them: hope, faith, trust, rest, letting go. Each one tells a story of healing and strength.

Some made their middle rock their foundation. It's a reminder that we can build on faith and find peace even in hard times.

At Hope Alive, we’re all about creating space to slow down, reflect, and grow stronger together!! 🎨🙏🫶🦋

In a world that never stops moving, it can feel almost wrong to slow down. But God didn’t just suggest rest. He modeled it. Whether you're working hard, starting a new chapter, or just trying to navigate life's everyday challenges, it's easy to feel like you always have to be on.

​Resting feels basic and unnecessary, but hitting the pause button is actually a beautiful, faith-filled thing to do! Our amazing Creator literally designed us with a rhythm "a time to work and a time to rest". Taking a break isn't a sign of weakness; it's an act of trust. When you step away, you're quietly telling God, "I trust You to hold things together while I recharge."🔌

At Hope Alive, we believe rest is part of healing for the body, the mind, and the spirit. Whether it’s through counseling, time spent in prayer, or simply sitting quietly in His presence, rest reminds us that we are not alone and that God is always near.

Take a moment today to slow down and recharge

Breathe.🌬

Pray.🙏

Rest.☺️

You’re not falling behind, you’re honoring God.🫶💜🦋
