““When I first came to the group, I dragged in, just tired in general. I felt that for every step forward, I was taking two steps back. I was weary and perplexed. Through reading Hope for the Soul, I no longer feel like I’m taking two steps back for every foot forward. When I actually take the time to reflect, I realize that I have been progressing forward all along. I wake up hopeful and thankful every day, ready to do God’s will and take on the challenges that He has planned for me.””

“I began this group discouraged, broken and scared of life I was truly at the bottom of the barrel thinking I was not worthy of anything. I had given up on life! I end this session knowing that satan does not have any power over me. He uses negative things to distract me. I allowed him to take over & I took my eyes off the prize – GOD!!! No more. Those negative things and satan do not reign anymore. They have only come to make me stronger and more powerful. I am ready to face it – embrace it – make peace with it. I end this session confident, whole and fearless. I think I can be a poster child for “from existing to thriving”. I want to draw closer to God and now I know how to. The door is open!!! Thank you for opening up and sharing your experiences. ”

“Through our HOPE FOR THE SOUL small group I have seen God work in my life in so many ways. Hope for the soul has taken me on an amazing journey through my faith. Coming into the small group I had a wall up to prevent myself from revealing the lost little girl who I felt controlled my existence. Reading Hope for the Soul instilled this pride in me I have transformed into this young woman that knows God won’t let me fall. I have learned how to speak to God. When I speak to God, I speak to him as if we’ve been friends forever something I never thought I could do. came in lost but I can say with your help, I found the me God intended me to see.”

“Hope for the Soul has helped me to keep hoping and never give up. Seeing what you went through inspired me because you’ve been through a lot and you came through it by trusting God.”

“Hope for the Soul has truly been a Godsend and a source of inspiration to me at this time of life when I truly needed it. I came to the class broken, hurt and ashamed, as I was in the midst of a divorce. In reading the book, Hope for the Soul, and attending the small group classes, Kimberly has truly captured the essence of hope and the rejuvenation of our spirit through the word of God. Her transparency, throughout the book and within the class, has been exactly what I needed to hear to get me through, the challenge to change my mindset, and the blessings to look forward to. You have made the class a safe place to come to lay my heart, fears, anxieties, and my sense of quirkiness without judgment.”

“While in the group, I met people from all walks of life enduring pain, that I hadn’t had to face. It gave me perspective and taught me how to use God’s given courage and education to be more open-minded and help others. ”
