Hope for the Journey

It would seem I am entering a new phase of my journey. A journey, unique perhaps in its circumstance, but not unlike yours in that it involves change and uncertainty. The past several months have included frustration, loss, grief, fear and lots of growth. Gotta love that growth! Now I am ready to move forward - whatever that includes. And since the journey is always better shared, that is what I'll be doing. Letting you in on the good/bad/ugly that comes my way. And, letting you in on what sustains me. Planning to share with you my thoughts, opinions and feelings and hoping you will interact and share yours with me.

For several months I've been trying to adjust to changes...changes in ministry, relationships, where we live and life in general. I've explored new options, grumbled at what hasn't gone as desired, and held on to the only hope there is - Jesus.

Hope is what has kept me going. Hope is sometimes all I've got. All you've got if you have experienced circumstances that are beyond your control, not of your choosing and often painful.

HOPE. Where else can I go?

Job said Though he slay me, yet will I hope in Him. (Job 13:15)
Ever felt that way? I have. Cut down, slaughtered. Wondering, "how will I ever get up again?" HOPE.

I'll be focusing on hope and why HOPE is what sustains my journey. Here's hoping it will encourage you!
