Most of us can admit that in one way or another life has not gone the way we planned. Life can be full of surprises, speed bumps, and heartache. Proverbs 13 says, "Hope deferred makes the heart sick." We don't know what tomorrow holds, despite what's written in our calendars. However, I believe we can live in tremendous hope and peace regardless of what happens to us and around us. True hope isn't based on our current circumstances, but on the One who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The end of the verse in Proverbs says a "longing fulfilled is a tree of life." It is time for hope. It's time to let go of the unknowns and embrace the mysteries that lie before us. It's time to go deeper with the God who is working ALL things together for your good. He is a good and a loving Father, and I believe He is ready to reveal more of His goodness to you through this journey
