He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Man do I cling to that promise! Again thank you for a timely post and a great reminder to my spirit. In Him I am renewed...and only in Him...not through the pleasures of the world around me, but through His grace. And man do I fall short in being where I should be, but what wonderful peace He still brings to my heart. I posted today on blessings through chaos, and man do I relate with this post.

"Hope" came alive to me at a needed time last year. The theme of the arts conference at Willow Creek was "hope". I realized I had to return to a place of trust and hope in the goodness of God before my spirit could feel renewed and I could walk forward in strength again. I thought I was still trusting God, but seeing so many good and faithful people go through so much pain, suffering after suffering, bad news, tough breaks...I needed to hear some good news. I encourage everyone to KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES when God moves in your life to deliver...people need it! I know I did. The word “hope” stands out to me at the catalyst for all these things.
