When hope is lost...

Can anything be worse than loosing all hope?
You can face incredible adversity, if you have hope.
You can deal with overwhelming odds, if you have hope.
This year that hope was shattered and I found myself and JB standing before an onslaught of despair. Everything I had been holding onto and supposedly standing firm on was ripped like a rug out from under me. I was paralyzed with fear that saying or doing the wrong thing would make it even worse. I watched helplessly as things I trusted in crumbled before me. As a child left with only an ebbing candle to battle the darkness that is pressing in. In that darkness, where fear looms and grips the last bit of strength from you...where that nasty father of lies says cruelly "Where is you God?" It was in that horrid darkness when all hope seems to be gone forever that I found myself cowering....and yet....a small light flickers beside me, then another and another and soon it is the darkness that is running from the blinding light that is growing around me. Encompassing my very being. Strength is slowly being renewed; and the fear that had threatened to crush me is being lifted away. As I looked up; I began to see what those little lights were.....it was my Daddy, my Momma, my sister, family and dear friends.....it was God!
You see, it is His love that shone thru them. It is His love that renewed my spirit. It is His love that can always be trusted in. It is His love that brought me hope.
"Where is my God?" you ask
HE IS WITH ME!!!!!
