Hope

     So I have an amazing friend, and we're reading a book, The Shack by William P Young, together. I'm really liking this book and I'd recommend it to anyone, and yes, I've only read through chapter four. But yesterday we were talking about the book and something she said yesterday struck me. She was talking about how someone she knew was talking about how just because you pray for something, doesn't mean it will happen the way or at the time you want. And they are right, everything is on God's terms. I know I've written a previous blog post that had this same point, but bear with me. She said a verse Jeremiah 29:13 Seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart.  She talked about how if you love God and know Him, then that will show through. Best of all, you will be better for it and He will give you a blessed life. And you know what? God does hear our prayers. He listens so attentively to us, and for some reason he does answer them. I've been praying for a baby, successful pregnancy, a healthy baby. And no I'm not telling you that I'm pregnant, but I know that I just need to love Him, lean on Him and trust Him with my whole heart and dreams. This doesn't mean that I'll have a baby, but it does mean that I will be blessed. I see this through my loving husband, my mommy, my step-mom, and my friend. God has perfect timing if it doesn't seem like it in that moment, the picture will reveal itself. This doesn't mean that I don't want to be a mom anymore, that I changed my mind about having children, or that I stop asking God for a miracle. But it reminds that I need to trust Him, love Him. And that Luke 11:9 So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. I have hope in the future, in my future, in our future.
