Start Here

Welcome to Hope Dwellers!  We’re a tribe of women choosing to live in hope!  We’re learning to live in confidence as we see how much our Father loves us.  We’re learning to see ourselves in the same positive light that He sees us.  And we’re learning how to align our spirit, soul, and body with His design for us so that we can live with purpose, peace, and fulfillment.

You may have grown up in church and know much about Christianity.  Or you might be a brand new believer. Regardless of how long you’ve known the Lord, you may still be struggling with beliefs about Him and about yourself.  You may even have some perceptions and mindsets that are not helping you.  Especially in the way you see yourself.

Hope Dwellers is here to help!  There’s much to talk about!  We want you to know what we’re all about.  You can find that info here:

• About Us
• About Me
• About Our Logo

To help you navigate through the site, there are 4 main areas we address in learning how to live an overcoming, hope-filled life.  There’s also a resource page to give you even more help and hope.

Knowing God

Jesus told us that eternal life is to know God.  Knowing Him is a big deal!  Our perceptions and beliefs about God influence every part of our lives.  We really want to know Him.

We aren’t limited to just one way to know God.  He is far beyond knowing completely, but we can start by using several means to develop our relationship with Him.

On these pages, you can find help to know Him:

• By His Names
• Through His Voice
• Through His Word
• Through Prayer
• In His Presence

Discovering the Real You

It’s vital as we get to know God that we learn how He sees us.  He created each of us in His image. Are you curious to know how you’re like Him?

He designed you in very specific ways and has a purpose for you in being part of His story.  Wouldn’t it be great to discover who He’s created you to be?

If you find yourself in mid-life with your roles and responsibilities dramatically changing, you may even be struggling to know who you really are.  When all the “trappings” that have defined us in the past are gone, we can be left with many questions.

On these pages, you can find help to discover the real you:

• Pursuing Identity
• Claiming Inheritance Words
• Using Personality Tests
• Knowing and Blessing Your Spirit
• Understanding Grace

Helping the Body

In our pursuit of living in hope and overcoming confidence, we are really setting our aim at wholeness.  We may think that God only cares about our spiritual life, but our physical health is important as well because we are triune beings.  We are composed of spirit, soul, and body.  It doesn’t help us to neglect either one.

We may hear all kinds of reports about what constitutes health.  Our conscience may nag us at what we should or shouldn’t do.  How to take care of our bodies isn’t always clear-cut or easy.  But our physical health plays such a vital role in every other part of our being that it’s definitely worth addressing in our pursuit of wholeness.

On these pages, you can find help for your physical health:

• Whole Food Nutrition
• Exercise
• Natural Remedies/Health
• Body Image

Strengthening the Soul

Some people might say that the soul and spirit are one and the same, but we believe the spirit and soul are separate (1 Thes. 5:23).  The soul is often thought of that part of us that makes up our mind, our emotions, and our will.  The soul is a good thing, but it was never meant to be in control.  It needs to be strengthened. Learning how to manage our souls will bring great benefit to our well-being and to our journey toward overcoming all that holds us back.

On these pages, you can find help for your soul:

• Choosing Truth
• Dealing with Emotions
• Handling Loss and Disappointment
• Overcoming Woundedness

Resources

Lastly, we want to give you plenty of opportunities to learn and grow that are beyond what can be provided here on this blog.  I’m a firm believer in searching out the truth for yourself.  Please take what you read here, bring it before the Lord to know what He is highlighting for you, and then feel free to discard the rest.

We know we don’t have all the answers here.  Not by a long shot.  We all need each other to see a clearer picture of life in the Kingdom.  That’s why we like sharing good finds from other resources to help you in your overcoming life.

On this page, you can find extra resources to help:

• Recommended Reading
• Recommended Viewing
• Recommended Listening

 

So this is Hope Dwellers, the blog.  We are so excited to have you here!  We have such a heart to see you live in freedom, hope, and confidence.  Hopefully, this page will help guide you on our site to what you’re looking for.

We believe it’s possible to overcome everything that holds you back from being the beautiful you that God created you to be.  He is for you!  We’re for you!  You’ve got this!

Let’s live in hope, expecting and believing in the goodness of God.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.  Romans 15:13

With prayers for you as you read and grow,
