hope

i love listening to sara groves. i totally resonate with her lyrics. one of her songs talks about hope and how sometimes you find hope when you least expect it. i've been thinking about that lately. i want to experience life right now to its fullest potential. i'm sick of having a negative attitude at times and just feeling blah. i miss out on a lot when i am living under that. and i don't need to live under that.

do i find hope or does it find me?

i find hope in the smiles of children.
i find hope in a hello from a stranger.
i find hope while being in community.
i find hope when i live life fully.
i find hope in other peoples stories and bravery.

hope finds me in nature.
hope finds me in mystery.
hope finds me when i least expect it.
hope finds me when i am not looking.
hope finds me when i am lost.
hope finds me when i am lonely.

i'm so thankful for hope.
