Hi, this is Joel in Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

God bless you. Always a joy to come into your homes.

We love you and we know God has great things in store. We pray for you every single day.

If you're ever in our area, I hope you'll stop by and be a part of one of our services.

We'd love to have you. I promise you will make you feel right at home.

But thanks so much for tuning in today and thank you again for coming out.

I'd like to start with something funny each week and I heard about this new police recruit.

He was taking his final exam. He was in the front of this big classroom.

And the sergeant asked him, what would you do if you had to arrest your own mother-in-law?

Without missing a beat, he said call for backup.

All right, hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it.

This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have.

I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the Word of God.

I boldly confess my mind is alert. My heart is receptive.

I will never be the same in Jesus' name. God bless you.

I want to talk to you today about staying full of hope.

God has put dreams and desires in every one of our hearts.

We all have goals we want to accomplish, situations we believe and to turn around.

But so often when it's taken a long time and things are not working out,

it's easy to lose our enthusiasm.
