hope

hope:

to cherish a desire with anticipation.

to desire with expectation of obtainment.

to expect with confidence" angel of hope"

given to me by a dear, dear friend

at a past (now-healed) difficult time in my life.

a few months ago, i took this angel from home.

brought her to VA. placed her in a spot of frequent view.

to daily reminded me of hope.

when i don't feel hopeful.

when i don't understand why,

when i'm confused and my faith is low.

at a mere glimpse of this angel

i recall a time of little hope.

and remember that God worked it all out.
and i know He will do it again.

and i discover hope.

lately in several devotionals, bible reading, and a few blogs,

i've been encouraged to hold on to hope.

even though, He doesn't answer in my time.

and He doesn't do it my way.

i must choose to go to Him.

resolved to continue trusting Him.

expecting with confidence all will be well.

anticipating. desiring.

with hope.
