Two things:
1. White band: that God loves me.. that though I am a rebeller and an outcast, he sends his Son to die for me on a cross and bring me back to good relationship with Him. This God can save me, can heal me and can give me strength to press on...
2. Purple band: that my fibrocommunity and support group is with me.. that no matter how mean / unhelpful other people may be calling me lazy, or denying me the help I desperately need, only a facebook message away is a smile, a hug and a loving word (more than one or two)....
What does hope mean to you?
