Anchored in Hope

God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. (Hebrews 6:18-19a NIV)

Throughout our lives, many of us will find ourselves in a season of drift or insecurity. Unmoored and untethered to a comfortable and firm foundation, like a boat without an anchor, it is in these times that we find ourselves searching for truth, connection, and stability. We find ourselves drawn to hope.

Describe yourself using a book title: It depends on which hat I’m wearing. As a librarian, Book Woman of Troublesome Creek probably describes me best. Providing patrons with information at the point-of-need is my ultimate goal. I like to look for creative ways to meet information needs outside of the four walls of the library. As a parent, I’m attempting to convince my children that French Kids Eat Everything and that they should too!

What’s the best thing about being a librarian? Empowering patrons to conduct research confidently.
