Verse: “For I know the plans I have for “, delcares the LORD, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future” Jeremiah 29:11
Good Evening Family,
It feels so good to be writing again. Lately, at my job, I’ve been feeling very drained trying to get my work finished. So drained, that all I want to do is come home and sleep. I don’t feel like talking to anyone, even my man. After I finish eating my dinner, I zone out on Youtube and lately, I’m been watching my guilty pleasure, Love and Hip: Hollywood, ratchet TV at it’s finest. But after finding out some horrible news, I will stop watching it, however, prayerfully, I will have a post about one of the cast mates, who even though she is taking things too far, I’m rooting for her and I really hope that she can bounce back and grown into who she is meant to become. Actually, a lot of the cast really are not walking into their potential, but one really stands out to me.
Which brings me to what this post is about, hope. If you’re not familiar with this remarkable woman, check out this minister whose name is Dephene Madyara. She posted a video on how one person can spark hope into people who are unbelieving. While they believe in GOD, things are just not going their way. Whether it’s wanting to become a parent, praying for a better job, believing their mate will come soon, or healing broken relationships, a lot of my family and friends are starting to lose hope. I won’t lie, even for me, it gets hard. Lately, I’ve been feeling very anxious about circumstances in my life. Will they get better?
They say be careful of the company you keep, that birds of a feather flock together. But Dephne pointed out, that what if GOD placed you among those people to instill hope. So, I started thinking about all of the people in my life who are losing hope, and I say in this all humility, what if GOD placed me among my loved ones to help instill hope. I can honestly stay that about three weeks ago, I truly thought all hope was lost, until one of my best friends who I’m reconnected with, started to challenge my thinking. I believe that GOD used her to help me, so that I can help others. It started to help me realize my purpose, now I will not lie and say that I’m not nervous, believe me, I am , but that one spark has changed my perspective on a lot of things.
I also believe that you need to be honest with how you are truly feeling, which is something I can commend my family and friends on how they are truly feeling. Even with my girl LeToya Luckett, she admitted on a TV show, before she was engaged, that she was beginning to lose hope in love. Lo and behold, she’s now engaged. This gives me hope that even when we are down to our last straw, GOD steps in and gives us hope.
Just hang in there, it will get better. GOD bless you all.
Love,
Taylor
