Hope looks something like this...

Hope. 

It's something I'm learning a lot about. It's a word our culture tends to throw into the wind like it's an average one dollar bill. It's part of our every day language. My guess is that it is used almost as often as the word love, yet, like love, it is a word that conveys great depth.

We say things like "I hope I get a bonus this month" or "I hope you have a good day".  "I hope you feel better" or "hopefully we will get there on time". Hope has become this ambiguous, boring word without the deep meaning. All this to say, hope has become so much more to me than a boring word we use so often. 

Hope is what is pushing me through unexpected life change. 
It's what reminds me that God has a beautiful plan in store. 
Hope is the air I breathe. 
The life I live. 
The laughter in my soul. 
Hope is being thankful for the beautiful life I've been given even when things don't go to plan.

God has given me a renewed sense of hope and he's done it through what I call the "beautifuls" in life.

It's in the everyday things; the things I quickly take for granted. It's the simple things which scream hope to me.








What does hope look like for you?
