I just googled "perfect fairytale" and you know what came up? Thousands of wedding sites...
This has been a hard week.
Life's just like that sometimes. Hard and painful. I'm so thankful for hope.
Elevate, my church's youth ministry is raising money to build an orphanage in India. Me and a couple of my friends have been helping out by writing different content for the sponsor cards, website, and other communication pieces. My favorite piece we've written so far was a paragraph on hope.
Sometimes hope seems really far away, sometimes it's hard to see the light of other dreams as you're dying to the one right in front of you. That's what this week has felt like. While it's felt that way I'm so thankful life isn't about feelings. I'm so glad truth isn't dependent on how I feel or what I think. Truth is simple, truth is a person and I'm convinced I wouldn't be able to live my life if I didn't know Him. He's my hope.
Despite everything else that is going on. Despite all of the hurt and pain I see in this world or feel or even cause, He's bigger. He's constant. And He is love.
And while I'm not at all good at resting, I can rest in that and I'm choosing to this week.
Sometimes it's the hard and painful things in life that teach us the most and sometimes it isn't all about the lesson. I'm not sure which this falls under but to borrow one of my favorite lines ever: "All of human wisdom can be summed up in these two words; 'wait and hope.'" Wait and hope.
