JANUARY 2020 MEMORY WORK…

by Martha Brady | Jan 3, 2020 | AGING, BIBLE MEMORY, RELATIONSHIPS

This is suggested Bible memory work for January. As you can see by the bolded words, this shows what GOD’s view of mankind is and where we fit in the hierarchy of Creation. The Genesis passage even shows what the purpose for men and women is. We show GOD’s...

As a child, I remember learning this poem and quoting it with our class at a Christmas program…or singing it. I don’t remember from this vantage point. What can I give him, Poor as I am? If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb; If I were a wise man I...

GRFC: SOME THOUGHTS ON GIVING GIFTS…

by Martha Brady | Dec 21, 2019 | CHANGE, HOPE, RELATIONSHIPS

Everyone has a different philosophy on gifts. I’m not here to bring about a change on your paradigm in that department. The only thing regarding gifts I will say is to create an environment where your children aren’t the total focus of the gifts. Helping...

Welcome to a Place of Hope

photo: Gayle Sankey Clegg

Hi! Welcome

I’m Martha. I’m so glad you came to visit. This is a place for women who are scared, overwhelmed, or brokenhearted. One thing we can find together is hope. The Biblical kind that is confident expectation in the person and promises of GOD!

In 2015, my husband had a stroke which changed our lives on many levels. I waited the required year after to see what the final outcome of his recovery would be, and when the time was up, I experienced a very dark time despite the fact that he had improved considerably.

I began seeking out how to find hope for a person who is scared, overwhelmed and brokenhearted. Because I ran the gamut of all those feelings. Sometimes I still do.

We all need the encouragement of GOD’s Word to remind us of who GOD is, what His promises are and how certain our hope is in Him! It is not because of how strong our faith is but because of who the One is in whom we place it!

But let me back up a bit and tell you a little about myself. I am a wife of just over 50 years to a now retired pastor, a mom of 3 daughters who are grown and married with 7 grands, and an RN.

We have lived in a variety of places in our years of ministry including Jamaica, FL, TX, IL and now AL near one of our daughters.

I’ve been blogging since 2010. This summer, I changed the name of my blog from GrittyGrace.com to MarthaGrimmBrady.com.

Come join us as we find hope together in Christ!
