psalm thirty-nine:seven

i talk about hope....well, literally all of the time. i mean, it's even the name of my blog. and the theme of the majority of my posts is hope. but why hope? what is it about this word that is so important to me? well, let me share....
two years, almost to the day, the Lord started a very much good work in my heart teaching me about the idea of hope. but i didn't really get it for a long time. as i started to begin grasping the idea of hope...i began putting my hope in all the wrong things. and this complicated things even more than they already were. and i couldn't understand why the Lord wasn't help. but He was....He always is.
finally, i really began looking at my life and were i had placed my hope. things weren't getting better and i knew there was something that needed to change. and the Lord spoke more clearly than ever, "YOUR ONLY HOPE SHOULD BE IN ME."
that was two years ago, and now i'm here....still trying to figure out what that idea looks like. but i've gotten closer, and will spend the rest of my days continuing to seek that for my life. but the Lord is faithful, and He is revealing more about Himself and myself to me every day. and for that i will forever be thankful.

and now, O Lord, for what do i wait?

my hope is in You.
