HELPLESS & HOPELESS:

The Story of Sweatshirt of Hope


On Thanksgiving morning 2013, God gave me a clear vision while lying in bed. I visualized our daughter sitting on our front porch step, hood up and zoned out on drugs. That was the beginning of Sweatshirt of Hope.

I spent that Thanksgiving Day putting the vision God gave me on paper. I finished and put the paper away telling God I cannot do this. I did not have time; we did not have money and I do not want to be upfront sharing my story.

A verse that was given to me and carried me through many challenging days is from Isaiah 40:31

Those who have HOPE in the Lord

Will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;

They will run and not grow weary,

They will walk and not be faint.

After years of struggle and disappointment, I realize God gave me a Test so I have a Testimony to help others who are struggling that God is sovereign and has a plan for His glory!

Chamber Showcase

The Chamber Showcase, a contribution-based feature that will be shared via the Chamber website, emails, and social media channels. All we ask is that you submit an article and photo(s) that we can use in this new regular feature. Our goal is to publish this column on a regular basis (bi-weekly or monthly, depending on the content we receive), so the more member businesses and organizations that send us material, the better. This can be content highlighting an employee, a milestone, or sharing your expertise on an industry topic.  


We look forward to you participating in the project and helping us to promote you. Please submit your articles and photos to micheleb@indianvalleychamber.com
