Hold on to Hope!

There was a day … many days actually, when I felt I was done dreaming. Not by choice, really. I was just out of passion for anything and I felt it was over for me. It was just all about survival. Always trying to measure up, but always feeling let down. It was like a gray, cloudy day that never ended, with no hope of blue sky emerging. I didn’t even want to hope, because I felt hope let you down harder. Then one day, the sun broke through! It came after a dark night. But the sky was so blue and the sun so bright! Since that day, life began to feel “alive” again. Dreams started to fashion in my heart. Hope flourished! Dare to hope. Sometimes the wilderness is dark, lonely and long. But hold on to hope! Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
