A Glimpse of Hope

1st of All. I am wide awake and it's 3:40 in the morning... this is probably due to a few things.

1. That 3 hour nap I had when I got home from work.
2. The 3 cups of sweet tea I drank after my nap...
3. And the online-window-shopping/facebook stalking/vine watching

So here I am. Awake. Thinking. Writing. Hoping.

I was thinking about what hope looks like for different people.

 And of course, it has different meanings for everyone.

For Me

Hope, as a verb, is a very powerful thing. It means that you are actively choosing to stay positive despite circumstances. 

Hope, as a noun, is a desire. A desire in which you hold on to. One which will not be given up easily.

Verb.

Hope is believing for really good things despite any bad thing you may receive.

Hope is believing in even more of the really good things even when you have already received so much of the Lord's goodness.

Hope is never giving up.

Hope is moving forward.

Hope is trusting.

Noun.

Hope is the essence of trust, and trust is the essence of hope.

Hope is a declaration of trust unto the Lord.

Hope is positive feelings and ideas.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 

- Jeremiah 29:11

HOPE YOUR HEART OUT!
