HOPE

I've been wanting to take part in Disciple story at the church for awhile now.. they have offered classes and held 2 day events but the timing was never right ..then my friend posted she is taking the class starting this wednesday and I thought "I could do that!"...So I signed up and they gave me about 2 hours of prework to do which at first was intimidating but it was quite enjoyable and makes you think back on your life ..kinda like a reevaluation if you will of your top ten high points in life and top ten low points in life..For me I started when I got married until now (back in 2002). My top ten high points was getting married, the births of each of my children, my girls graduating from college, my job in the ER, and some low points were my husband's unbelief, my mom almost dying, my father died, Covid and all the crazy mandates that I had to fight (even lost my job at first but was able to get it back thanks to our Governor). So through all this I was to find one word that describes all this...well this morning I Woke up and started talking to God about it and he gave me the word "Hope"...Someone acutally called me Hope as they thought that was my name awhile ago..then my dad is buried in the section of the Cemetery called "Hope"..one of my best friends gave me a cross on Sunday with the word Hope in the center..then I got to thinking well I had Hope that my marriage would be God centered, I had hope that my mom would live and she did all thanks to GOD who healed her, I have hope that my children will graduate from college and become great nurses, I have hope that one day My husband will confess his faith in the Lord again, I have the heavenly hope that my father is in heaven looking down on me, I have hope that God will heal all those affected by Covid and the Vaccine..and I could go on but I won't...I also was told the word "fair"..as that's what my name really means "fair one". I am a big advocate for being fair in life and standing for the truth as well. So my 2 words before even starting class is "Fair Hope". Maybe while doing the class those words could change But i don't think so..it's amazing I have the 2 words that describe my disciple story before even starting and that we serve such a GREAT GOD...I just LOVE it when he gives me what I need when I need it..
