3 Disciplines of Hope

3 Disciplines of Hope

It was around this time, seven years ago, that I found myself in the midst of an agonizingly hopeless season. It was the two year anniversary of when my infertility journey began. I remember sitting across a restaurant table from my husband, discussing my thoughts on the new year and grieving the absence of the child we so desperately wanted. But, I shared with him that I had chosen a theme for the new year – the theme of hope. This theme encompassed my hopeful desire to become a mother, along with focusing on Christ as my hope. My struggle throughout this difficult season was when those two hopes would get out of alignment.

Deeper Waters

I confess that I cannot do life on my own. I’ve tried and it doesn’t work out for me.  

In my time alone with Jesus, I’ve been reading about being so close with Him that it seems we are sitting side by side. That’s when He imparts His heart, His wisdom about my life. That’s what I want. I desire to be so close with Him that He can whisper and my ear will catch His next step for me.

Have you ever read the title of a book and thought the book was probably written just for you? Treasuring Christ When Your Hands are Full: Gospel Meditations for Busy Moms by Gloria Furman was that book for me and it did not disappoint.
