HOPE

Hope is an anchor for the soul; both sure and steadfast. Hebrews 6:19

How do we have 100 percent hope in Jesus? How do we get to that point where we turn everything over to Him in complete surrender? Is it easy? What would 100 percent surrender look like?

Romans 5:1-5
"Therefore, having been justified through faith, we have peach with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in ope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."

Romans 8:28
"We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purposes."

Romans 15: 4-6
"For whatever things were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Jesus Christ, that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

LIVE STRONG: 1. WITH THE CROSS IN VIEW 2. To ENDURE 3. For ENCOURAGEMENT

My Prayer: "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." AMEN! Romans 15:13

As our story continues, I mention hope because we have many people telling us not to lose hope. Do these people know how I feel? Do they know my struggles? Do they know what I've been through. So Brandon and I discuss our options- we decided to give it one more round, but to go ahead and schedule another video conference with the doctor.

Our video conference was scheduled for February 10th. We made a list of questions that we needed to ask the doctor at the appointment. Well... the next round leads to more tears (TWO cysts even bigger than the last time), more questions, more of not understanding, but more of trusting in God's timing! If we don't believe in the hope and trust of God's timing- why are we doing all this? One wonderful thing that has come out of it so far is that my husband and I have been reading scripture and praying together more frequently over the past 4-5 months! And all I can say is thank you to God for us growing together now more than we ever have.



By the way... HAPPY EASTER! HE IS RISEN!
