Hope is not an accident. Sometimes it has to be hunted, and hunting it takes courage.

Hope hunters know how to excavate hope from hardship. There is dirt underneath their fingernails and sweat on their shirts. They rake through the rubble of an unwanted situation, digging into difficult circumstances because they have come to expect that adversity will produce good. They believe that light always triumphs over darkness. They have learned to walk through winter with their eyes on spring.

Nika Maples became a hope hunter after suffering a massive brainstem stroke that left her quadriplegic in her twenties. Doctors warned that she had as little as 48 hours to live, and-if she lived at all-she would never walk or talk again. There was no hope on the horizon. So Nika started to hunt for it. T

Whether you or someone you know is going through a situation that feels hopeless, you will find encouragement in Hunting Hope. Whether you are experiencing a medical trauma, a financial hardship, or a relational crisis, you will find empowerment in Hunting Hope. As you read, you will cling to 20 truths about God's character and practice 5 daily disciplines that will develop your own character in crisis.

Nika Maples is the author of Hunting Hope and Twelve Clean Pages, the memoir of her survival of lupus and a massive brainstem stroke that left her quadriplegic at age 20.  She could not speak, swallow or blink, but her faith sustained her and a year later she walked back onto her college campus on her own two feet. Eventually, she became a public school teacher and taught English for 10 years, winning 2007 Texas Secondary Teacher of the Year.

New research shows that small business employees may be among the happiest people in the workplace. That’s according to a new report providing an inside look at what makes a small business employee tick.

 

One major reason for their happiness stems from the way that many small business owners show workers how much they appreciate, respect and value them on both a professional and personal level.

Small businesses often offer many advantages that are harder to come by in larger companies. Employees feel like they are part of a family, working for the same goal. Employees agree that the best part of working for a small business is their flexible schedule. Since there are fewer people and layers to navigate, employees actually see the fruits of their labor and understand how their job fits into long-term plans for the company. 

The new Employee Happiness Report unveils a number of insights about what it’s like to work at a small business and identifies several factors related to satisfaction and happiness, including employees’ financial future, physical health and benefits package. The study was conducted by Aflac, the leading provider of voluntary insurance at the work site in the U.S.

Matthew Owenby, human resources expert from Aflac, will be available to discuss the feelings and attitudes of the small business employee and what it means for the small business owner as well as share some new resources from Aflac that small business owners can leverage to help improve employee happiness. Matthew has more than 15 years of experience in the financial services/HR industry and is senior vice president, chief human resources officer at Aflac, a company with more than 9,500 employees. He’ll be joined by special guest Michael Chernow, co-founder of New York City restaurants The Meatball Shop
