Ok So here goes nothing! :) Frst attempt at blogging. My name is Marissa and I am a wife and mother of 3. Life is busy but life is never boring. I've been thinking about just haveing a place to share my thoughts and favorite things so I thought blogging might be the way to do it!
I've been thinking alot about Hope lately, hence my blog title. When things are hard and life is often hard, what else do we have but hope. Hope and fairth that God has a plan. In Jeremiah God promises that He has a plan for us, a plan to prosper us and not to harm us. Some days that's all I hold onto. Other days are filled with the hope of heaven, of a better place. But always there is hope because of Jesus. Praise God for the gift of hope today. He loves you and He has a plan even when it feels like there is no order or calm. God is our calm in any storm.

I love this, Marissa. For a few reasons, actually. 1, you are doing something for you. 2, you are doing something to encourage other moms, and dads, out there with your uplifting and positive attitude, and 3, you are passing on HOPE. We all NEED HOPE. Hope is missing in so much of our world. It is what causes people to go out and slaughter innocent lives, and to spiral into drug and alcohol dependency, and what causes marriages to crumble and children to choose to fallen world.
ReplyDeleteI hope your attempt is better than my attempt at blogging. I haven't posted to mine in months, lol. Who knows. Reason 4, you inspire me.
I love you.
Thanks Kristina! I just felt like I was at a crossroads, I had to choose hope or despair. I choose hope and I'm so thankful for the beautiful, ispiring and encouraging people God has brought inot my life to bless me. You are one of these people, I love you too!
