Journal entry by Wendy Luikart —
Good morning, this is Calli’s Grandma, Rita, chiming in...
Dear family and friends who have been faithful prayer warriors to Calli, Wendy, Glen and our family,
Throughout our journey, you have been a lifeline of hope and support. Your thoughts and prayers have carried us through. I would like to thank you all so much. At this unprecedented time, you are also in need hope and encouragement.
I’m asking God to flip the switch and every prayer you have sent on our behalf, God would double all those prayers back to you.
My verse and prayer for you is Romans 15:13, "May the God of HOPE fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him so that you may over flow with HOPE by the power of the Holy Spirit."
Recently I was asked to speak to group of women at our church regarding our experience over Calli’s accident. The theme was “There is HOPE in the midst of tragedy.“ I was challenged (in a good way) because I had to really dig deep and ask the hard questions as to what I really believed. After lots of soul searching here’s what I know to be true.
Hope is in God's Promises. Isaiah 40:31, Psalm42:5
Hope is in God's Word. Psalm 119:114, 130:5
Hope is a trustworthy anchor. Hebrews 6:18-19
Hope is our future. Jeremiah. 29:11, Ephesians 1:18
Hope is a person —Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:3
These were my main thoughts that got me through.
I was also blessed to have Calli and Wendy join me on stage via video. These two share from their heart where they are in the middle of it all. Listen and be encouraged as you, too, are facing this time of uncertainty.

I’d also like to share Calli’s art site. It exudes beauty in the midst of her circumstances and shows God's handiwork through her art.

You have been a light to us and now, I pray we can be a light to you.
Colossians 1:27. Christ in you the HOPE of glory.
