Vision of Hope

Being that I just got back from my best friend's wedding, it would seem that the wedding would be the topic of this blog...oddly enough, there's something BIGGER on my mind (more about the wedding later though).

While I was in Indiana, I got to visit the Vision of Hope for the second time in four months. Vision of Hope is a Christ-centered environment offering faith-based residential treatment for girls and women struggling with various issues from self harm to unplanned pregnancies and other abuses.

The thing I love most about Vision of Hope is that the girls there are continually pointed to Christ. Biblical counseling is practiced there and while the girls are not in counseling, they are serving others and eachother. I really have no idea what individual girls were there for-they are not permitted to talk about the issues of sin that brought them there but rather to talk about God...what I did catch is the sparkle in their eyes, the excitement in the things that they learn, and the amazing beauty in each of them. AAAaaahhhh! Every time, I go there, I leave a bit of myself there...

So here it is...please pray with me as I'm praying about giving a year of my life to work there...I'm holding off on sending my application in for another two weeks...I'd love your advice on this...
