Hope Still Lives

I don't think many people are able to access my blog yet since my domain is in the middle of updating, but for the few who are still able to access, here are my thoughts for this week.

I know things are getting scary out there and there's a lot of anxiety going on, not just in politics, but in general life. People are going through a lot of things right now. I hope and pray that they have someone on their side to help and support them. When I lost my jobs several years ago, it was basically like experiencing a death, and then within the five years following that I actually did experience the death of some very close family members. It's been difficult to pick up after being wiped out all over again with another round of grief. Despite my perspective and believe in living after death, it's still hard to experience. To those dealing with this also, I grieve with you.

I'm anxious about what I'm witnessing, and yet I'm at peace at the same time. That is possible. My situation right now isn't ideal. There are still some things I need to address with myself, but I don't feel discouraged. I've said it in the past, probably a while ago, but I still believe it; that no matter how dark it gets, hope still exists, even when I've lost sight of it.

Don't get discouraged and know that you still have a place in this world even when things look hopeless, because it isn't. Hope is waiting past the storms, past the darkness, and past the dangerous paths. Don't give up!
