Trusting in the Lord

Patty is 15 years old and came from a background filled with trauma which caused physical and emotional scars. When she first came to Holston Home for Children she was scared and felt alone. But she shared with us that being here and attending chapel on Sunday has blessed her.

She said that two verses have helped her stay strong:

Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! Psalm 27:14

In you, Lord my God, I put my trust. Psalm 25:1

Oftentimes our youth request to be baptized, and Patty shared that desire with us, too.

“I wanted a change in the way I think about myself, and I want God to be a part of that change,” she said. “I want God to be a part of my life for the rest of my life.”

Holston Home is a place where God restores the broken-hearted, and God is restoring Patty and others who have had similar experiences. The Lord is strengthening their faith, healing their wounds, repairing their confidence, and rebuilding their lives and the lives of those they love!
