Hope: confident trust with the expectation of fulfillment.

Hope – it is what keeps me going. It is what pushes me to continue trying month after month; appointment after appointment; heart break after heart break. And even when it feels like all hope is gone somehow, some way; it always seems to come back.

I think the reason is because my hope isn’t in a doctor, or science alone, but my hope is in God - the One true life giver. He is the one who renews my hope!

Psalm 25:21 “ I put my hope in You”
Psalm 71:5 “Oh Lord, You alone are my hope”


In Jeremiah 29:11 God promises to give me a “future and a hope”

My husband and I have been hoping to have a baby for about a year and a half. We are still hoping.

Today I had to give my two weeks notice at my place of employment. With all the appointments I have to go to, it just isn’t able to work with my job schedule. I had to choose between ttc and my job. I will still continue as a travel agent, working from home, and I will be watching a little girl at my house during the week days.
It is bitter sweet. I will miss the social aspect of the job. I will not miss the crazy schedule and working weekends. I feel bad about letting people I work with down.

So here I am. Making necessary changes, and hoping with all my might.

You know how sometimes you open the bible and a verse just jumps out and speaks to you? This is what I read today:

Romans 15:13
“So I pray that God, who gives you hope, will keep you happy and full of peace as you believe in him. May you overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit”
