“Courage is not the absence of fear; it is action in the presence of fear. Bold people do what they know they should do—not what they feel like doing.” -Joyce #JoyceQuote

"This is God's will for us, that we might have and enjoy life. Jesus did not die for you and me that we might be miserable. He died to deliver us from every kind of oppression and misery. His work is already finished, and the only thing that remains to be accomplished is for us to believe." -Joyce #JoyceQuote

"Don’t assume that where you’ve been, or where you are, is as good as it gets. Don’t believe that your history is your destiny. Choose, instead, to believe God is going to do something even better in your life." -Joyce #JoyceQuote

Every well we dig together is a miracle for the village that receives it. Because of your giving, the women and children don’t have to risk their lives walking for miles to gather dirty water, the whole community is safe from waterborne diseases…and every single person knows that there is a God in heaven who cares about them. THAT is something to celebrate! #HandOfHope #GiveHope

Prayer for Walking in Love: "God, because You loved me first, I'm ready and able to love the people around me. Help me to seek You steadily so I am never out of love to give, but constantly filled with an overflow that spills out onto others. Teach me about the beauty of Your sacrifice so I can be encouraged to give of myself. And help me to take an interest in others so I can be a more effective servant to You. I pray that I would always remember the source of my love and give You all the glory. Thank you, God, for loving me. I am happy to love others because of You. In Jesus' name, Amen."

Did you know that when you partner with Hand of Hope, one of the outreaches you make possible is our short-term dental trips?

Real friendship isn’t just about having fun together. It’s about showing up when life gets hard, praying for each other, telling the truth in love, and reminding each other that God is still good. The right people don’t just celebrate with you in the good seasons. They stand beside you in the difficult ones, too. Take a moment to thank God for the friends who have loved you through every season.

"God is working everything out for your good!" -Joyce #JoyceQuoteq

The world may tell us to chase beauty, popularity, success, or approval, but those things don’t last forever. What matters most is a heart that honors God. Your worth isn’t found in how you look, what you accomplish, or what other people think of you. A woman who fears the Lord has something far more valuable: a life rooted in Him.

"God knows the mess we’re in when He calls us… and His light shines greater through cracked pots than it does through people who have it all together." -Joyce #JoyceQuote
