Today we’ve got a really sweet and timely encouragement from one of our best Grove Gals--Katherine Wolf.  Katherine and her husband Jay have an incredible ministry called Hope Heals where they have taken their pain and turned it into a platform to speak to God’s faithfulness and sufficiency. Katherine and Jay had their lives turned upside down when Katherine suffered from a major brain stem stroke in 2008, shortly after giving birth to their first son. In the years since, she has been through countless therapies and procedures, and while she still has many physical struggles, she and Jay and their family are committed to the mantra “hope while you cope” and have generously given their lives to spread that message. Today she’s sharing about how we choose to trust God in the face of the fear of the unknown and there's probably no one more equipped to do so. Check out hopeheals.com for more of her story as well as their books and resources.
