Scripture reminds us to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18). This is the very journey we see our teens walking. Every day at Hope Harbor, we see growth in ways that are both small and profound. We see it in the moments when a teen chooses honesty over

Before Hazel walked through the doors of Hope Harbor, her faith felt like a roller coaster that was out of control. When life was calm, she praised God easily. But when her family was living on the streets, trusting God felt complicated, and she questioned whether God was listening at all. Everything shifted the day she arrived at Hope Harbor. She sensed that Sea Glass could be where she finally connected with God in a personal, real way. The staff’s warmth, the way they cared for the girls, the way they made her and her sister feel safe — it all felt like God’s love wrapped in human form. While living at Hope Harbor, Hazel began working through a devotional series called “Design for Discipleship,” attended youth group and church weekly, and sought spiritual guidance from staff and volunteers. For the first time, she saw the Bible not as scattered verses but as one story—God’s story — and a guide for her own life. Hazel said, “I see God’s love through the staff who are patient and gentle. They have shown me what it looks like to walk through hard things with faith, rather than fear.”
Over time, Hazel’s relationship with Christ deepened in ways she never expected. She began to understand who Jesus is and what He endured for her. She learned to pray with honesty and depth, bringing God her joy, her anger, her sadness, and finding peace in the presence of a God who never stopped listening. Now, as Hazel looks toward the future, she hopes her relationship with Christ continues to grow in obedience and trust. She wants to hear God’s voice clearly and follow without falling into self‑doubt. Hazel’s story is no longer a roller coaster of fear and uncertainty. It is a story of belonging and discovering that God was always pursuing her. And now, with a faith that is truly her own, she walks forward with hope, courage, and a heart ready to listen.
