GIVEMN 2020

Have you heard how BUSY Elevate has been? 2020 has been a TOUGH year for all of us, but Elevate is SO THANKFUL to share that we have been able to open our doors to multiple moms and their kiddos in order to support them on their personal path to self-sufficiency! Unfortunately, the year of 2020 has meant zero ability for Elevate to fundraise as our team has focused 150% on supporting our residents. Thankfully, GIVEMN is right around the corner! Will you help us raise money for transportation so our moms have the ability to get their kiddos to school? Get themselves to school? To work? Every $$ counts!! Thank you for your prayers and support! https://www.givemn.org/organization/Elevate-Hope-House

He hears

Whatever we wake up learning, whatever we wake up feeling, we can be confident that He hears our every prayer and He is with us every step of the way. #confidence #faithoverfear #Hesgotthis #choosekindness #endinghomelessness

All circumstances

God works for my good in ALL circumstances. No matter the hardship, no matter the confusion, He is working. No matter the heartache, no matter the trial, He is working. No matter the conflict, no matter the result, He is working. #heisworking #faithoverfear #choosekindness #endinghomelessness

Hope and confidence

He is my hope and my confidence. My confidence doesn’t come from my accomplishments, or the individuals around me, or a successful story verses a story that feels like a failure in the moment. When my faith feels dim, He is my hope. He is the foundation of my confidence. The center of my hope. With His guidance and His hand even the toughest of moments, or the most unfortunate of outcomes, can become hope-filled in the reflection of His will and His call. #heismyhope #confidence #prayerlife #faith #endinghomelessness

Battle belongs

Have you heard the new @philwickham song? Battle Belongs. This is how Elevate staff live today and every day. This is how every believer lives today and every day. We fight our battles on our knees. Not with words. Not with actions. And certainly not with fear. By folding our hands or raising them high, and giving our every trouble and situation to Him – the Battle is His. #battlebelongstogod #saved #loved #thisishowifightmybattles #faithoverfear

He is beside me

Do you ever feel defeated? Sometimes I feel defeated every day. That my words are falling on deaf ears. Or that there is so much on my plate that I cannot figure out how to rise above water. In these moments I am reminded to pray. He reminds me that God’s role is to carry us through – He is stronger beside me… than the one against me. He is in control, and my confidence comes from His promises. #godconfidence #heismystrength #Heknowsmyname #endinghomelessness #faithandtrust

Congratulations!!

Chosen

You are chosen by God. SHE is chosen by God. He is chosen by God. Every person on this Earth was made in His image, is loved by Him, and is chosen. They may not look like you, or make the decision you feel is right, or even treat you with love and respect some days. But they are loved as much as you are, and you are chosen to live the life He has called to you to live and love others. ♥️ #chosen #loveoneanother #peacebestill #choosekindness #chooselove #endingyouthhomelessness
