The Call Of Hope

In the rain and the rainbow
Singing and sleeping
The dew and the grass
In the twinkling of stars
Laughter of children
The smile of age
In the leaves of the trees
Sunshine
The coming dawn
In the music of springtime
Aroma of sweetness
The hidden blush of the bloom
In the beat of a heart
Breath of a hero
The eyes of love
– Gina Valley
I’ve had a rough week.
I’ve been burning the candle at 5 different ends, so I’m thoroughly exhausted.
And, although I’ve had a lot of great things happen professionally lately, our family has been experiencing a season of strife, which weighs heavily on me every day.
Frankly, I’m sick of it.
It’s heavy and it’s hard. I’m tired of dealing with it, and I can’t see the end.
But, even though I can’t see it, I know the end of this mess will come.
One of my favorite phrases from the Bible is “It came to pass…” I cling to that.
It came to pass.
It did not come to stay. It came to pass.
This will pass. Things will change. They always do. Change is built into the fabric that everything is molded out of.
Knowing things will pass and change when everything is coming up roses, unicorns, and lollipops is not that exciting, but, right now that hope that this will pass, will change, helps me get through hard hours.
Hope is an amazing thing. It’s a Gift.
So thankful for hope!
Love!

Do you feel hopeful? Does the inevitability of change make you feel secure? What reminds you to have hope? Shoot me a comment. I’m looking forward to hearing all about it.

March 10, 2013What a lovely post. I believe that everyone has been faced with the same thing you are going through. I know I have been there and yes “It will pass”. Just keep the faith! 🙂

March 10, 2013You are the icon of normalcy for me. What happened to cause this strife?

March 10, 2013Thank you, Steve. I think I tend to be a fairly normal person, too.
I think everyone goes through difficult seasons. Fortunately, things will change and I look forward to when things are easier to deal with than they are now.
