Hope


"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." -Hebrews 6:19

"In Christ alone, my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm."  -In Christ Alone

"But those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint."  -Isaiah 40:31

 "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." -Hebrews 10:23


"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words 
And never stops, at all "  - Emily Dickinson

"My hope is in you Lord,
 all the day long, I wont be shaken by drought or storm
A peace that passes understanding is my song
And I sing, my hope is in you Lord."  -Aaron Shust, My Hope is in You

Today we say goodbye to another member of our family. We 
will celebrate the life of Uncle Brad and reminisce. We will 
also grieve the loss of him here with us. I think that is the 
hardest part in loosing someone you love, how life keeps 
going and you have to figure out howto adjust. It's so 
interesting how some of the simplest things you shared with 
someone can be the biggest things you miss. 

Hope is what anchors us and keeps us going. Hope in Christ,
is what gives us strength and comforts us. Hope that one day 
there will be a huge family reunion in Heaven and that this
is not a final goodbye, just a see you soon.

Now that I have filled you in! I can only try to explain how amazing this experience has been for me! I can't believe that I am doing a program like this! I love how it is helping shape me in more ways than one. I am building muscles and getting stronger. I am getting better at, and stronger with my pushups. I am building the strength for better balance and moving up from a few modified versions of  some of the exercises. (I did split jump squats on the floor this week! 20 on one side 19 on the other!) My form is getting better and my confidence is building. I am on my last two weeks of the program, but I will probably continue in it for another month.( I really want to get that chin up bar and see what I can accomplish with that as well!)
