Having hope that tomorrow can be a little better than today

Recently, I was watching a story on the news. People from Western North Carolina were being interviewed after the devastation from hurricane Helene. I was struck by a comment from one of the people being interviewed. They said they had simply lost hope that things would be better tomorrow than they are today. This resonated deeply within my heart. I think mostly because I suddenly realized that this is where I was at. I had lost hope that things could be better. Maybe for the first time in my life I had experienced genuine despair. I felt like my condition was just spiraling downward and there was nothing I could do about it. However, over time things began to slowly change. I had a desire to live again instead of dying.

Through the principles I share in my YouTube videos, my mindset began to change. This is what I hope to share with you if you're in despair. I realized a long time ago that the world needs more encouragement, and I can't think of anyone who needs it more than those of us in despair from disability, disease, limited mobility, and other debilitating circumstances. If I can share something with you that will offer some hope that things could be a little better tomorrow than they are today, then that's exactly what I want to do.

Because of my diagnosis 7 years ago (Parkinson's), and because I have a burden and desire to encourage others, I feel that God has uniquely equipped me to offer encouragement from the perspective of someone who's been there. So let me ask you: are you in despair? Do you need hope today? Are you dying instead of living? Most importantly, what are you going to do about it?
