As the days march on and the seasons of our lives As the days march on and the seasons of our lives stack up, we can sometimes wonder how life became so full and time so cramped.

If you're like me, it can be easy to forget there's abundance in a life flowing to the gentle stream of His sovereign schedule.

Dear friend, are you living in a season of hope up Dear friend, are you living in a season of hope upon hope? If so, I understand. 💗
.
The relentlessness of some seasons has a way of tethering our threadbare hearts to hope.
.
Unlike other holy hallmarks, sometimes hope can feel hard to define. 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 feels wild and strong; 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩, grounded and secure. Yet, hope can seem wistful, intangible.
.
But, more and more I'm realizing that even though hope seems an elegant mystery—Hope is a force unto itself.
.
In today's Proverbs 31 Ministries devotion, 𝘏𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘴, I share how God meets us inside this beautiful mystery of hope with all of Himself. His power has not lost its authority. 🙌 
.
Dear friend, I'm here alongside you as together we hold hope inside the lingering heavy seasons of life. 💗
.
You can read and join the conversation today at Proverbs31. org . Would love to hear from you, friend. 💕
