It's the galvanizing truth that no matter how deep your painGod's love exceeds it still. Sometimes, just believing in someone is enough for them to start believing in themselves Without raising his eyes to look at me, in a voice barely clearing the horizon of a whisper, he said, ';I know you don't love me You just say that 'cuz you're an adult and it's kinda like your job. But I know you don't really love me.' Suffering and blessing balance on the same high wire, each giving stability and depth to the other. The one that we feel the mostis ultimately the one that we give the most. It was her eyes that gave her away. The conflict of her mortal illness versus her will raged behind them. Her body shouted, ';I'm sick and it's getting harder and harder to do the things I love!' while her indomitable will shouted back, ';Yeah, but I'm just a little kid, and little kids should get to ride horses!' What a relief it is when we begin to understand that it is within our hardships that truth is elevated from our hearts to our heads. ';During the darkest days I'd ever known, I was introduced to the unconditional love of a little horse and a merciful God, and my life has never been the same,' says author Kim Meeder. And her book proves that hope is not only for us to keepbut to give. ';Stirring, encouraging, and inspirational, Bridge Called Hope reminds us that hope is heaven sent for everyone, and that we, too, can make a positive difference in others' lives.&quote; -Eric Close, Actor ';Kim Meeder vibrantly sharesand livesan amazing story of hope and restoration. A triumph of recovery for wounded hearts!' -Louie Giglio, Director, Passion Conferences, and bestselling author Story Behind the Book';I was moved to write Hope Rising and Bridge Called Hope because, when I needed it the most, someone shared hope with me and it saved my life. During the darkest days I'd ever known, I was introduced to the unconditional love of a little horse and a merciful God, and my life has never been the same. Everything in our life is about choices. We cannot control our circumstances, but we can control how we choose to feel about them. The pain that we feel in this life is certain. What is equally certain is how we choose to feel about the pain. It can destroy usor it can define us. The choice is uniquely ours.' Kim MeederFrom the Trade Paperback edition.
