a glimpse of hope

there are some days where i glimpse hope.  a talk with a pastor who truly cares about how i'm doing.  a talk with a professor who goes out of his way to help me out.  in the midst of the business of life, i find joy through the smallest things.  a two hour phone conversation as the highlight of my day.  talking about things more real and important to me than anything.  knowing god's plan is at work in my life.  and knowing it brings me great joy and anticipation.

i live my life with hope.  hope for my future.  that i will glorify god in all i do.  hope that my future is successful and my love and passion for life remains strong.  there are days when i feel like giving up, but hope conquers this feeling.  god's grace is sufficient.  long periods of dry seasons are so tough.  but when the water quenches the thirst i've tasted for so long, it replenishes my soul's inner thirst.  to be filled with the water life requires is to be filled with god's love, grace, and mercy.

god truly listens and answers prayers.  i cannot imagine my life without god, my true love.  the love of my life.

through the friend that will never give up on you.  the friendship that will never dwindle.  through the friend's love hope will kindle.  through the new beginnings of a life brand new.  through the hope that god gives to you.  may you trust his works.  trust his sight.  trust that he will bring you light.  the hope i place in god alone.  will remain forever known.  more than anything in this world, i love you lord.  i thank you god for i've been adored.  by you, oh lord, who has rescued me.  who forgives me when your way, i cannot see.  through fragmented sentences i give you praise.  i love you lord, all of our days.  amen. amen. amen.
