Hope Now

To the side of this posting you will find my new "theme song" - below are the words. It's true everything in life rides on Hope - wherever you may find your Hope is your call - but Hope is what makes you take that next step no matter how difficult it is. Hope is what gets you out of the bed each morning and why you still smile even when you don't feel like smiling. Hope/Love/Faith all blend together in my head most days to be honest. I have Hope that things will work out as God has planned. I have Faith that even my miss steps can be put back on track. And I know that Love is God - not just an emotion. It seems as if most of my latest blog have a faith based theme. I have not come to some new conclusion about my spiritual life that I didn't have before - I just think that for me, I've come to the part in my life where I cant just "hope" my faith is enough. I need to feel it, breath it, live it and exercise it daily. It's not for all people - heck it wasn't even for me a few years ago. But look at all I've been through - there is NO WAY - no way it was me dusting me off and standing me back on my feet after some of this stuff - no way! Higher power - faith - GOD - whatever it is you believe in, believe in it and hope it's enough. As a Christian this is where I should be telling you my way is the way??? God is the one true GOD - that's my belief and I'd love to share that with you but I'm not going to shove it in your face and make you take it. I'll share my story if you want it. I'll shed a few tears and laugh a lot of tears as I tell it but it's always your call - how you believe and how you live. I'd be lying if I said if you're reading this blog then you're not on my prayer list - you are by name most likely. On the list for Hope in your life situation or Faith that God will bring you through or LOVE - that I want you to know the LOVE GOD has for you. Life just gets too busy - too messy if were being honest. I'm tried of mess. I know days are not always rainbows and butterflies - trust me I know - but they can be full of Hope. Just a little bit of Hope can bring forth some amazing things in our lives. Listen to the song :)



If everything comes down to love
Then just what am I afraid of
When I call out Your name
Something inside awakes in my soul
How quickly I forget I'm Yours

I'm not my own
I've been carried by You
All my life

Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

When my life is like a storm
Rising waters all I want is the shore
You say I'll be ok and
Make it through the rain
You are my shelter from the storm

I'm not my own
I've been carried by You
All my life

Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
You've become my hearts desire
I will sing Your praises higher
Cause Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
