Pain Gives Birth to Hope

Today – not such a good day.  The high of yesterday did wear off as I sat on the beach yesterday, looking out at an amazing day, beautiful waves and lots of surfers.  Could be in part due to the cold I thought I had beaten back…only to come raging back on towards the end of yesterday.

Any who, this is the roller coaster of life that I am on…and many others of you that read this.  And as I once again feel like I am caught out in the middle of the ocean – grasping for anything to help me float as the waves keep crashing in over my head…as I say good-bye to dream after dream after dream that I have had to bury since this past March…I did come up with one glimmer of hope in all this about the pain that seems lodged permanently in my heart.

“The pain seared into my heart of my fallen dreams gives me hope that there is a reason still to dream…for God has planted dreams in my heart to give me understanding of what His dreams will one day become.”


Really have no idea if this expresses what I am trying to say, but it is as close as I can get. Hope that it brings you some form of hope and inspiration and encouragement in whatever you are walking thru at the moment.


Blessings to you my friend,

A dream location that I might get to see…
