This is a different Easter than usual for all of us. Elaborate services, fancy dresses, family parties, and abundant chocolate have given way to simplicity, quiet, and even sadness.
As the friends of Jesus walked to the tomb that Easter morning, I’d imagine that there was a sense of quiet and sadness as well. They were not anticipating hope, but found it on Easter morning in the risen Savior.
Easter is all about hope.
Beyond Easter, we can experience hope in our everyday lives no matter what we’re going through.
I recently asked several of our counselors to share things that bring them hope and how we can all seek hope intentionally. As you read through the snippets from our BCC Counseling Staff below, please know that we are wishing you a Happy Easter, celebrating in quiet simplicity, full of hope in the risen Lord.

Having vision always gives my heart hope; so it made me ask a question of my heart. Who am I as a living memory of God? This is not a question of doing, but of who I am. As a counselor, I am to be a living reminder of God. This is not technical skills to be mastered
