Hope

Merriam-Webster defines Hope as the following:
v. to cherish a desire with anticipation; to desire with the expectation of obtainment; to expect with confidence.

God has a lot to say about Hope. Some of my favorites include:
Romans 5:3-4 "....but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."
Psalm 31:24 "Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD."
Romans 8:24 "...but hope that is seen is no hope at all."
Psalm 39:7 "But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you."

What do I think of Hope?
She is a strong, beautiful, inspiring, bad-ass fightin' momma who for whatever reason (whatever His reason) will be leaving soon. Thanks to Jen, we met via blogland and I've followed her blog for over a year. I've never met her in person, but she and her story have been a huge influence on me during this important and private time of my life. If you read her story, you can't help but fall in love. Please pray for her and her family tonight.
