Hope
Hope. Nonetheless, it is very unknown and hard to hold out for. We, personally as a family, are searching for hope. Most of you know what my family is going through. We have faced adversity, obstacles, crisis, hard decisions, and the temporary loss of our Mother. Romans 8:28 states “And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. God has the plans and knows the ultimate outcome. He allows us to live and hope for the good that we see. We do not have the same vision that God has. He told us that “We do not see the same has He”. Romans 5:4-5 states “And hope will not disappoint us for the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit”. In life, when tribulations come your way, you have to see the faith and hope in God. We have to turn to the gentle One that we call Jesus. He gave us His life, so we could have a better one, for now and the everlasting. Faith and Hope are sometimes seen as one in the same. Faith in our Father gives us Hope that He will see us through difficult times. Jeremiah 29:11 states “For I know that plans I have for you”, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”. We have to believe in His word, and that gives us hope. Hope. How long does hope last? How long does He leave us in turmoil? We do not know, because His plans are not known to us. We have to weather the storm and put our Hope in the Lord. He is the way to peace in our souls.
Lord,
We praise you for your works. Lord, we love you. We come to laid down all of our burdens at Your alter. Lord, thank you for your son Jesus Christ, as He died for us. Lord, we don’t understanding the turmoil that we go through in life on earth, but Lord we trust in You. We give you the praise for the things that are not yet done in our life, and we thank you for all the things that You have done. We glorify You. In Jesus’ All Mighty name we pray, Amen.
"Your greatest ministry will likely come out of your greatest hurt." Rick Warren
This is so true. You should always lean on God the most during the times that hurt the most.

Keith,
I want you and your family that we are still praying for Sue and all of you. You are right, one's Faith gives them Hope. Hope for not only things of this earth but for the everlasting life in Jesus Christ. You are all living through a most difficult ordeal, but you are putting your faith and trust in the right ONE. I will continue to pray that your faith will keep you strong and that you will all feel the love and support of friends near and far.
Love you all.
