This blog is in honor of a beautiful, young girl named, Hope Stout. Her story is very inspiring and needs to be shared with others. Hope passed away on January 4, 2004, at the age of twelve after her battle with a rare form of bone cancer. Before she passed, she had the opportunity to "make a wish" by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Hope's wish was completely self-less. She wanted all 150 children on the Carolina Make A Wish list to have their wishes granted.

Joyful in Hope
This song by Cory Asbury called "You are my hope" has lyrics that we need to be reminded of everyday!
Lyrics:
To You, O Lord, I lift my soul; my God in whom I trust
Let me not be ashamed
‘Cause only You can deliver me from the hand of my strong enemy
Let me not be ashamed
Pre-chorus:
No one who waits on the Lord will ever be put to shame
No one who waits on the Lord will ever be put to shame
Chorus:
You are, You are my hope; You are, You are my song
You are, You are my light; You are my salvation
Bridge:
All my hope’s in You, my strength, my song
All my hope’s in You, my strength, my song

How one girl's dream made others' come true
Hope always dreamed of becoming famous one day. This is so exciting because a movie on Hope's life is in the works. The movie will be named Hope's Wish and the film will be shot in Charlotte, N.C., in hopes to reach places such as L.A. and N.Y.C. This movie is currently seeking guidance and funding. Please be praying!
Shelby Stout, vice of the board, says "Had a GREAT meeting for Hope's Wish the movie! Wouldn't it be just like God to bless Hope's journey of cancer and bring BIG awareness for Children's Cancer Research or LACK OF, to the FOREFRONT through this movie! Continue praying for this! We will WIPE OUT CANCER in children!"
