out of the snare

Hi, I’m Elizabeth!

I am so glad you are here. My prayer is for you to find hope, encouragement, and a deep understanding of the life God wants for you while you are here. Life gets hard, and we can get caught in so many snares, but the Lord has made a way out, and I want to share that way with you!

Maybe you have been in a snare once or twice, or maybe you’re currently in one. You know, those moments in life when you just feel trapped, alone, and hopeless? I have been in many a snare myself, which is how I know we can get out of them!

As I share my experiences, thoughts, trials, and lessons, I pray you will come to find a sense of hope and peace for your own life. God has so much in store for all of us, and I want you to know that you CAN live the life He has for you, even if you feel trapped right now!

Everything I write for Out of the Snare is rooted in my faith in God. My goal is to always write from the things that He reveals to me in the secret place, as I only ever want to be a mouthpiece for the Lord. While I am the one writing the words, and I acknowledge the fact that He has given me a gift to do this, I hope that the words will ultimately be His. It is through His love, presence, and words to me that I find my hope, and that is exactly what I pray you receive through this blog!

Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be torn by their teeth. We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
