With Prayers, Sarah
I am a rose colored glasses girl. That means that I hope. In everything. In probably more than I should. I hope in situations. I hope in people. I hope for things. I hope for dreams. I hope. All the time. But then, every now and then, when life throws me a curve ball, the glasses get ripped off and all I can see is the sharp bitterness of reality. I don't do very well in those situations. When this happens, I suddenly lose hope in everything. Hope that any dreams will come true. Hope that people will ever change. Hope that things will come to pass. I very generally lose hope. It's like that verse, "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick...." yeah, that's me. I read a great chapter in Psalms this morning and the verse smack dab in the middle of the chapter was this, "I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope." That's what got me to thinking about hope. And how I want to get back to where I'm hoping again. Then I realized that in order to hope in the Lord for anything....I need to trust Him. And I suddenly saw how you can't have one without the other. Because in order to hope, I have to trust that He knows what's absolute best, even if it's not what I thought was best. I have to trust that He'll bring it about in His perfect timing. I have to trust that He still touches and changes peoples hearts. That He is still working on others just like He's still working on me. I have to trust. Him. Then I can hope again. "Who against hope believed in hope...." So this is me, working on trusting again so I can get my hope back.
With Prayers, Sarah
