Welcome to June!
May was a magnificent month on so many levels. May brought sad endings, happy endings, fresh starts and new beginnings on my path throughout the month. Memories were made through milestone moments, love was shared and doors were opened.
May was also a tough month. Doors slammed closed on yet another round of hope, justice fell through a manipulative chasm, and loneliness ensued within a black hole of solitude.
June is here, and a new month is a new opportunity to mark a new round of optimism and hope… by choice, of course.
It is a choice.
It’s always a choice.
Within every given ending, start, beginning, milestone, anniversary, reminder, closed door, chasm
or black hole of circumstances, hope is a choice.
Do you hear that?
Hope… it’s a choice.
It’s a choice you have to make, and it’s a choice I have to make, too.
Don’t ever give up on it.
Don’t ever let the darkness overcome the light.
Don’t ever…
Choose hope.
May the God of hope
fill you with all joy and peace
as you trust in him,
so that you may overflow with hope
by the power of the Holy Spirit.
~Romans 15:13 (NIV)
What is your hope for June?
What is the darkness needing to be overcome by the light?
I’d like to pray for you, and I’d certainly appreciate your prayers for me, too.
Hope Surrendered
