It was one of those days when I wanted to do anything but climb in a van full of women to spend the day watching any speaker, although I love Beth. Nevertheless, I had made the commitment so I went. It was exactly what I needed. Click on the link and see her commissioning statement which we said to each other at the end. It was a powerful time for me.
I have found that each day holds challenges in this world we live in, either for ourselves or someone we know. We ache for hope to pull us up out of the valleys of despair and weariness. I met with a woman this week whose husband told her he didn't love her anymore. She desperately wants to do the "right thing" . I didn't have any answers for her marriage, but I could offer words of assurance that she is loved by God and no one ever does it all right. Sometimes we don't even come close. But God is unlike any other person we know- His love is unconditional and unfailing.
Hope doesn't always pull us up out of our valleys, sometimes it gets down there with us and lights our way- even if it's but one step at a time.
