Embraced in Hope

Embraced in Hope was created during a season of new beginnings. Having just moved to a new part of Pennsylvania, I didn’t know a soul—but what I found was an open-armed community that welcomed me with warmth, kindness, and love. This sunflower reflects that feeling of belonging, the moment when hope takes root and blossoms into joy.

The petals dance in radiant yellows, blues, and reds, wrapping outward like an embrace. It is a reminder that even when we start over in unfamiliar places, God places people around us who reflect His love and keep our hope alive.

“Love one another deeply, from the heart.” – 1 Peter 1:22
