Welcome to Our Passionate Hearts Community

Beloved,

Welcome to Passionate Hearts! I want to share with you the purpose of this community and the hope it can bring to your heart.

The Passionate Hearts Community are deeply passionate women who are values-driven, who believe in and who spport each other. We fight for the values we hold most dear in our hearts – God, our marriage, our children, our family, friendships and many other things.

One unexpected day, we discovered a breach in the walls of our lives, a breach called betrayal. That breach came and has infiltrated our lives, taking on a life of its own; rocking us to the core. Everything in our known world imploded leaving us breathless; reeling with tsunami-like emotions. We have cried out in anguish, “How could You let this betrayal happen? Where were You?”  Feeling alone and desperate, we have questioned, “Is God here? Is He a safe place? Does God really care?” We have many questions about our faith, relationships, our state of health and self-care, our very future to name a few.

I trust that you will find in this community forum a safe place – a place of inspiration, encouragement, truth and validation. It is a place that meets you where you are, with NO judgment but with unconditional love.

God recognizes that we are going to have times of intense trials that would seek to consume and destroy us but He is not going to allow that destruction to happen – not on His watch!

Let the words of the prophet Isaiah continually speak to you as you walk out your healing and renewal.

           When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.
           When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown.
           When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up;
           the flames will not consume you.
           For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
                                                Isaiah 43: 2-3 (NLT)

In His plan for us, we may walk with a metaphorical slight limp that reminds us of what we have been through to get to a point of thriving in our lives. My desire is for you to pursue those “sweet spots” in your heart that make you smile. God is helping you every step of the way to discover those true joys in your life.

It is true that I don’t know the exact journey you are on now but as a fellow traveler I know this. God will help you glean from the painful trials you endure and victories you experience to find His hope, healing and purpose for your life. You will have done the hard work of recovery and now you are reaching out to others. Your voice matters. He loves you so dearly and so do we. Whatever your story, wherever you come from and regardless of your family of faith, you are not alone. Reach out today.

Take a few minutes to listen to Alisa Turner’s song below. Let it be an encouragement to you and know that, “This is My Prayer for You!”
