This is a beautiful blog post from Boy Crazy (finding clarity in chaos) called HOPE. The writer really touched me with her self awareness and profound honesty. The analogy of the tree bending hit way too close to home for me. I AM that tree. It is how I have felt more than once this past year. How far will life bend me before I break? How much will God allow before I cave?
I have spent many long hours in the past few days thinking about HOPE and wondering what I would ever do without it. Jesus is the reason for the season and he came to earth carrying HOPE in the form of a cross.
