My Hope

We make plans

We have dreams of where we see our lives going. 

We strive and plan and move in a direction we feel led to go.

Yet, we experience times in our lives when it's as if the rug has been pulled out from under us. 

Times when we feel someone has knocked the wind out of us. We doubt our past decisions and walk with fear & hesitation into the future.

Wondering

Waiting

Wanting to move forward, yet so afraid we will mess it up.

So afraid we will make a mistake.

My hope for the future is only because of the God of my future. 

Whatever direction I turn I want it to be in tune with Him.

However, I know that I am human, and I make mistakes-past & present. 

I also know confidently & from experience that my decisions, good and bad, will not change Him.

His love remains! 

His faithfulness remains!

His mercy remains! 

Nothing in God's character will ever change! 

Ever!

I can't leave His presence!

I can't find an end to His faithfulness! 

I hang on to Him!

My hope!

My rock! 

And when the storm rages & the wind blows around me, I lean into Him & on Him. 

When we hold onto Him & lean into Him, we find our strength, our peace and our hope~

We make plans

We strive for the future

When the plans change it is not always because of our wrong choices or that we failed to hear His direction. 

Sometimes the plan changes because that is what He wanted. 

He has something to teach us maybe or simply because He wants us to put our hope in Him.

Whatever you are facing

Whatever the struggle is

How I pray you grab on to Him! 

That He will be your hope! 

There is nothing better! 

I promise! 

He has never failed me

(despite me).

AND He never will~

SONG WORDS:

My Hope

Nothing will change if all the plans I 
make go wrong Your love stays the same

Your light will guide me through it all,
I’m hangin’ - on I’m leaning in to You

Nothing can reach the end of all Your
 faithfulness Your grace is with me,

Through every shadow, every test
I’m hangin’- on I’m leaning in to You

I don’t know where you’ll take me
But I know You’re always good

My hope is built on nothing less than Your great love,
Your righteousness I will not walk another way
I trust Your heart, I trust Your name

I’m holdin’ on - I’m holdin’ on, to You

You are my rock when storms are raging all around,
You shelter me, God I’m safe with you on solid ground,
I’m hangin’ on I’m leaning in, to You I don’t know
where you’ll take me but I know You’re always goo

My hope is built on nothing less than Your great love,
Your righteousness I will not walk another way
I trust Your heart, I trust Your name

I’m holdin’ on - I’m holdin’ on, to You
