GARDEN OF HOPE

WELCOME!

'Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.' ~Proverbs 13:12

Hope....that unseen desire within us that continues to believe that good things are in store and gives us a reason to go on....and to keep going even when things are difficult. 

My Cell Phone: Death by Coffee

I'm sure that most people have all had one of those days where nothing seems to be going right.  Most everything seems to be going wrong and it feels as if the weight of the ENTIRE world is pressing down on you.  You can't take anymore.  Not one more little thing to rock the fragile boat that happens to be.... YOUR LIFE...let alone having to watch your cell phone drown in a cup of brewed java right before your very eyes...

So what does my cell phone and a cup of coffee have to do with hope?  Today...everything!

Pressing On When the Light Grows Dim

There are times when we may have hoped for something for so long but it is so long in coming that our strength begins to wane.  We may grow discouraged and feel like giving up, believing that our efforts and faith have been in vain.  The light we thought we saw at the end of the tunnel seems to never draw any closer though we strive to reach it with everything we have.  The road we are traveling seems long and we grow weary to the point of wanting to throw our hands up in the air and give up. 

I am here to tell you that this is not the time to give up, my friend, for you may be closer to your goal then ever before....
