Our Hope Endures

When Will It End

I have never been terribly good at saying Good-Bye. Be it a relationship; in loss of any kind, divorce, death or even stepping onto a plane.

Good-Bye invokes sorrow such emotion welling up inside me merely contemplating the word!

Having lost 4 family members in the past few months while dealing with my own life threatening disease, it has forced its way into my life....I had to learn to let those words slip from my heart and touch the still air again and again!

Now, yet again my heart is touched with Good-Bye...another loss...not of a life but from my life. I must say Good-Bye to someone with whom I once thought to be my closest friend.

When will it end....day after day! Just as I begin to breathe. Again!

My tendency is to close my heart and retreat, yet this time even as it seems the rain will never end, I am not retreating. I know that he is walking with me and that he holds something better for me. Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal. Let the earth quake, my hope is unchanged.




Don't worry about anything instead, pray about everything, tell God your needs and thank him for this answers. Phil 4:6-7
