Day 261 - Losses

We all suffer losses. Lost jobs, relationships, promises, loved ones, possessions, dreams, etc. etc. etc. I wrote these two notes and this verse on my sermon outlines.

Losses deepen me, but they don't define me. They are part of my maturity, not my identity. Do not let the losses in life define you, let them make you better.

It's done, so let's get on with life...

We pray that you will be filled with his almighty, glorious strength so that you can keep going no matter what happens - always full of the joy of the Lord. - Colossians 1:11 (LB)

HOPE (v) - to look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence. To place trust; rely.

This blog details 2012 and my life centered in hope after an arduous year. We all need hope in our lives; to believe that life can and will get better. But, we need the kind of hope that is not just wishful thinking; we need the kind of hope that is based in faith. The kind of hope centered around the blessings that God promises us in His Word. The kind of hope that puts who we are and where we want to go in perspective. The kind of hope that allows us to live a more joyful and spirit filled life, because we expect things to happen, we don't just wish for them. My hope is that my journey can inspire your journey.
