My cry and His answer

Father, hold my hand

stroke my head

kiss my cheek

I have been deprived peace, I have forgotten what prosperity is. So I say “my splendor is gone and all that I had hoped from the Lord.” Yet I call to mind and therefore I have hope:

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning, great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, therefore I will wait for Him. The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seek Him, it is good to wait quietly.

Let Him sit alone in silence for the Lord has laid it on him. Let him bury his face in the dust, there may yet be hope. For men are not cast off by the Lord forever. Thought he brings grief, He will show compassion, so great is His unfailing love. For He does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children on men. It is not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?

~ Lamentations 3 ~

Hope is a golden cord connecting you to heaven. This cord helps you hold your head up high, even when multiple trials are buffeting you. I never leave your side, and I never let go of your hand. But without the cord of hope, your head may slump and your feet may shuffle as you journey uphill with Me. Hope lifts your perspective from your weary feet to the glorious view you can see from the high road. You are reminded that the road we’re traveling together is ultimately a highway to heaven. When you consider this radiant destination, the roughness or smoothness of the road ahead becomes much less significant. I am training you to hold in your heart a dual focus: My continual Presence and the hope of heaven.

I love that you are here, and I certainly would love to hear from you. To leave a comment go HERE !

From hopeless to hope.
From hurting to healing.
From surviving to living.
From crying to laughing.

That is my story. It wasn't easy.
The road of healing is the hardest one to choose. Sometimes it seems easier to bury or hide. But healing and recovery are possible. With God all things are possible! But it doesn't mean God does for us. It is my experience that I had to choose and work hard myself, with God on my side. God doesn't fix for me, He fixes through me. It is a painful process worth living.

The story continues.
The chapter may be closed.
The book however isn't.

I have reached the wonderful chapter of marriage.
2012 was my year. I love sharing life now and never want to forget what God has given me and done for me. Redemption is a word that was said most on our wedding day. We each have suffered much and God deserves all praise for having been faithful and leading in times of trouble. He overcame and His redemptive power is amazing and I want to witness to that. We do not live for ourselves but for Him.

Like I said, the story continues.
With it's ups and downs. Embracing that journey is what makes life life. It's not important where I go, it's how I go.

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. The nations will see your vindication, and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord bestow. You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord's hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the Lord will take delight in you, and your land will be married. As a young man marries a young woman, so will your Builder marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you.

As for me, I will always have hope
