About Me....
I'm Hope. I am from a family of nine children including two we have adopted from Ghana. My family is pretty much amazing (and crazy), although I might be just a bit partial :) I am currently pursuing a degree in piano. God has blessed me with the gift of music and I pray that I will use it wisely, to further His kingdom and bring glory to His name. I dream of teaching others to share in my love of music and the One who gave us the ability to discover beautiful melodies, haunting ballads and mind-boggling compositions. Soli Deo Gloria.
About Me
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”
~ Theodore Roosevelt

We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen:
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18

"The Christian has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried."
G.K Chesterton
"A man with a definite belief always appears bizarre, because he does not change with the world; he has climbed into a fixed star and the earth whizzes below him like a zoetrope. Millions of mild-mannered men call themselves sane and sensible merely because they always catch the fashionable insanity, because they are hurried into madness after madness by the maelstrom of the world. The man with a definite belief is sure to be the truer friend.
~ G.K. Chesterton

"Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, brings you in and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."

Places I Love To Be
May the virtue of our daily work
Hallow our nightly prayers.
May our sleep be deep and soft,
So our work be fresh and hard.
~ St. Patrick

Does this mean I get Colonel Brandon?
The center of power is not to be found in summit meetings or in peace conferences. It is not in Peking or Washington or the United Nations, but rather where a child of God prays in the power of the Spirit for God's will to be done in her life, in her home, and in the world about her.

You hit the nail on the head with these pictures! These are three of the hardest working boys I know. :)
Love you!
that is so true!
I love the pictures of the men in your life. I love you. You don't wear overalls, but you work hard, too. I can just picture your five sisters, beautifully dressed, holding flowers for you, at your senior recital.

There is something so authentic about a man in overalls! You know you get honesty and hard work from them.
Great quote!!!
Love,
