Hope: My Perspective



In the past two months, heck, for the last year, I have been attempting to seek health for my life and my current and future ministry.  The challenge being: what does it look like to be healthier at the end than the beginning?  Long them?  Short term?  This question has many levels, but while I am seeking God and seeking health, I also feel bombarded by the topic! 

In some ways I am healthier now than I have ever been, but in others it is just the opposite.  Seriously, WHAT THE HECK!  As I seek health, take classes on biblical perspectives of health and healing (best class ever by the way you all should read Jim Bruckner’s book: Healthy Human Life), and even now I am in a spiritual formation class on health, I feel lost and desperate for hope.

But there is hope, there is always hope!  Because we believe in a live and faithful God.  And I have hope for God’s work, direction, and guidance.  Like David cried out to God in Psalm 5 “Make Your way straight before my face!”  I like that.  Direct David, thanks!  That is what I need so why not ask.

Off of something I say on a friend’s facebook page I thought I would put some positive direction STRAIGHT BEFORE MY FACE!  Plus it was fun to spend an afternoon being crafty!    Here is my wall of motivation, my wall of truth.  My hope and my prayer is that I would not loss perspective and while some days seem hopeless, there is always hope.
