Hope

I remember living each day without true hope. There was always doubt as to where I would be in 10 years. When I left the service, I left my security blanket and I could not for the life of me find a job. I was hopeless and spiraled into depression. Now its two years later, and wow has God changed my life. He's given me vision and a mission. Last night, God gave me a clarification on what his mission is for my life. While I'd love to just blurt it out right now, I think its a better idea to keep it between myself, God, and a few of my close friends for the time being. I can tell you one thing: God's vision for my life has given me hope. I no longer have to wonder how I'm going to be used. I'm going into the ministry for something great, and I'm so thankful for it. Praise God for giving those who are hopeless their hope. Without hope...without a purpose...we all fade. Thank you Lord for giving me hope both personally and professionally.
