Hope and Take Heart

"If for a while the harder you try, the harder it gets, Take Heart. So it has been with the best people who ever lived." Jeffry R. Holland 

Why did I begin a new blog? 

Why did I title it Take Heart? 

For these reasons:

The words, "Take Heart" have encouraged me every single day since heart failure. 

Take Heart has helped me cling to Jesus and to trust. 

In this lifetime we need encouragement to become courageous.

I want to be a voice of encouragement! 

The words Take Heart have given me hope and courage. 

I want to be brave and bold.

Trusting and filled with hope. 

I want to give my best and encourage others to do the same.

  Hope in him, hold firm and take heart. Hope in the Lord! Psalm 27:14

  1. So that's how Take Heart was born. This is a powerful post. There's something about the image from the prayer service for you that draws me in and fills me with peace. I feel I could step right into the picture, sit down in a pew, and start praying too. I can't take my eyes off that red heart. Wow.

    1. Sr. Jordan (my sister-sister) shared the message of take heart with me in the hospital and it has given me courage ever since!
