Bits and Pieces of Me

This thing called life is really quite a journey. Heartache and despair, joy and and hope seem to visit my heart on a daily basis.

Joy overcomes me when I think of the community the surrounds me. A community that loves me, challenges me asks nothing less of me than my best. I only hope I can do the same for these brothers and sisters.

To this community, I say thank you for your strength, love and example.

In the moments of despair, I ask Jesus to be near. When I'm unable to see the finished product on God's Canvas, He reminds me that the end result is up to Him, not me.

Somewhere in between joy and despair, I uncover a thing called hope. According to Webster, hope means "to expect with confidence." Reminds me of a well-known passage in a book with value unequal to Webster.

Hebrews 1:11 tells us, "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."

I'm believing without seeing. How about you?
