“He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
-Colossians 1:13-14
We are all sinful beings. In fact all of creation — every drop of rain, every blade of grass, every fish in the sea — is groaning under the weight of sin. Our sin separates us from the presence of our Holy God, and there is nothing that we can do to remedy this on our own. We can never measure up to the insurmountable holiness of God. If ...
12 Days of Christmas {Giveaway}
Hope Mommies is excited to offer you 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways this holiday season!
As a Hope Mom or Dad, the holidays always seems to be one of the hardest seasons of loss to walk through. Your baby’s absence is so obvious and substantial.

We also recognize that many of us are surrounded by friends and family who long ...

Choose Hope for 2015
Every year on October 15, nations all across the globe come together in order to recognize Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. What started in 1983 with a few volunteers from the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Center (PILC) turned into a movement around the world.
PILC began by calling out to other groups and organizations to join them in raising awareness of infant loss during the month of October. As the movement grew they set about to petition the Governors of each state to follow them as well. Soon many states had declared October as Infant Loss Awareness Month, and their campaign continued to gain attention, support, and success ...
I AM: Good
"You are good and do good; teach me Your statutes.”
-Psalm 119:68
God is good and does good. In fact, God is the final standard and ultimate source of all that is good. This is repeated all throughout the Psalms, and throughout the entire Bible. All that God is and all that He does is good and worthy of praise. There is no higher standard of goodness than God’s own character.
The goodness of God is easy to profess joyfully when things are going well, but seems rather difficult to affirm when times are hard. Often our circumstances seem like anything but evidence of God’s goodness. We are surrounded by the brokenness of the ...
