Our Hope Endures

If you've never heard this song...you should definitely take a listen. Click the title, it will take you to Natalie Grant's site. I feel like this song all the time now. Sometimes I cry out to God asking why?!?! It seems so unfair! "...this one has suffered her share." Why couldn't you give me the pain, the disease...I'm stuck with with the helpless feelings of worry and despair. "Sometimes the sky rains night after night, when will it clear?" I've cried many times, but never cried out in anger. I feel more like David did in his many Psalms. Just seeking to understand God's will in all this and hoping that His plans include a miracle for us. And since we know that He has a plan, Our Hope Endures! I know my crying is the outward expression of my soul groaning to God when I am overwhelmed with feelings and prayers. I love my wife Tina sooo much. She strengthens me in this time of weakness. "Walk a mile with a woman whose body is torn with illness, but she marches on!" No matter what, I will march on with her. Never staying behind or running ahead. Right there by her side! You want a to try out Love Dare? That is easy, compared to this. It almost seems trivial in comparison. Now I truly understand the real love my grandmother had for my grandfather. She walked beside him. She held his hand and led him. And she eventually joined him. I just hold to this. "We never walk alone, this is our hope. Our hope endures, the worst of conditions. It's more than our optimism! Let the earth quake ... Our hope is unchanged" Our walk will not be as two, but as three!
