hope

I'm having a hard time getting up the gusto to post anything. I'm having a hard time calling people, much less calling people back. I'm having a hard time feeling hopeful ...

Psalm 68:19: Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens

... if I'm feeling this way, I can only imagine the heavy load He's carrying on our behalf.

Isaiah 40:31 says: but those who hope in the LORD, will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Will you pray for my hope to be restored? Clearly God has me on a path to renew my hope ...

Romans 5: 3-5 ... Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
So as you can see ... getting to hope is a process ... a process I'm having hard time with.

    It's tough...life is hard, there's no doubt about it. I will definitely pray for your hope, my friend.

    Look to do something fun, that will brighten your day and make you smile. Like, how about squishing JD in the sliding glass door? Hahahah

    LOL ... you are funny. What a great idea!

    Life is hard. My life isn't nearly as hard as others ... it's really not that bad ... emotions are just overwhelming sometimes and hard to stay on top of - you know?

    i've been checking in on you and am happy to see a posting from you.

    hope is SO hard. i feel for you, my dear... you've been through so much.

    i just ordered a meditation cd from amazon that i used to listen to at my acupuncturist's office. the affirmations that belleruth naparstek uses speak to the heart of infertility and bring me peace (and hope). perhaps something like that would help, too? i'll be thinking about you and sending you wishes of hope and peace.

    I don't know why, but I felt strongly to pass you this link to another blog written by a Christian sweet lady who lost her baby at birth due to a trisomy. She's going through a lot - BUT - you have to read her posts.. her faith, etc... it really uplifted me. I've had a miscarriage myself back in Feb... understand the feeling...

    I don't know why but I felt to send you that link..
