Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
Psalm 62:5
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.
There are days when all I see are wedding bands and look at my finger naked.
There are days when I see parents holding their new born babies and look at my arms, empty.
There are days when I'm reminded of the hope deferred that I've known.
I've HAD and LOST. Better to have loved and lost then never loved at all right? Right. There are days when that doesn't feel so good. Doesn't help.
When I find rest in God my hope comes from him!
I don't mean this to be a {downer blog}. BUT I do mean to say that having hard days when you're not where you {want} to be or where you {expected} you would be is ok. It's good. Good to feel what we feel when we're feeling it. If we don't it will just remain and get stronger.
I have been {missing you} lately. A place that I would love to be - but am not there. I'm ok not being there - but just miss you sometimes.

Our Hope Endures - Natalie Grant
You would think only so much can go wrong
Calamity only strikes once
And you assume this one has suffered her share
Life will be kinder from here
Oh, but sometimes the sun stays hidden
Sometimes the sky rains night after night
When will it clear?
But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism
Let the earth
Our Hope is unchanged
How do we comprehend peace within pain?
Or joy at a good man's wake?
Walk a mile with the woman whose body is racked
With illness, oh how can she laugh
Oh, 'cause sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
Sometimes the sky rains night after night
When will it clear?
But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our Hope is unchanged
Emmanuel, God is with us
El Shaddai, all sufficient
We never walk alone
And this is our hope
But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our Hope is unchanged
