the month of here {day15}...hope (and a giveaway)

have you ever found yourself hiding your face from hope?

you aren't alone.

sometimes fear can overtake a heart and empty it out of all hope.


those four chambers can't survive without being filled with something more than air...

hope moves with fluidity...reaches the empty spaces and fills each crevice.

even in the midst of fear, one can be filled with hope.


no, sometimes the outcome is unknown.  sometimes you may think you are a tad bit crazy for doing what you feel He is calling you to do, sometimes taking that next step is the hardest thing you have ever done,

but

He remains sure.  He remains constant in the midst of what is uncertain.


and so you choose to take what feels hope-less and turn towards the hope-filled Light.

and be filled,

with Him.


and in the midst of it all, wherever here finds you, you can say it strong and sure,

"give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love."

so i do...

and i give thanks on this fifteenth day of this month that finds me here...and for the hope that fills up strong.
