Hope

In most of my writing I am persuaded by someone who misses reading it.  They miss it because I'm never consistent.  Someone ask me to write today and my response was, "I'm not sure if anyone wants to hear my thoughts right now."  So I've searched for something that I think might be beneficial to someone...something that might meet someone where they are.  

So in this searching I found hope.  Hope always meets us where we are.  Hope is what smiles for me on bad days; hope is what wakes me up every morning.  

One of my favorite quotes is from Tom Hanks' role in Castaway where he says, "I gotta keep breathing...because tomorrow the sun will rise.  Who knows what the tide could bring."

Thats hope.

There is always tomorrow and God is faithful to make the sun rise.  It happened yesterday and the day before and every day before that.  And if the sun doesn't rise for me tomorrow, then I'll be wrapped up in the arms of grace.  Either way...I win.  Either way...there is something greater coming.  There is always something great on the horizon.  We strain our eyes and see something mounted on the edge of the world but can't quite make out what it is or if it is even coming towards us.  Sometimes there is nothing in sight...but that doesn't mean that there won't be tomorrow.  I hate waiting on things.  Some friends talk about mixed martial arts.  Oh how I would love to be a black belt, but I don't have that kind of patience waiting on something to mature and develop like that.  Thats also why I don't really work out.  I like to see results.  I'd work out everyday if I could see a difference everyday.  

We are all waiting.  We all have a hope for the future.  Thats what keeps us going....thats what keeps us alive even.  

Thats all I got..........
