Focus on the Hope in Christ

Hi wonderful people!!

As many of you, I am saddened by the state of America and the world. I don't want to turn on the news to hear about the political mess we are in. Not to mention our virtually non-existent moral compass. Or to mention the racial tension here or the Syrian Refugee crisis globally. Sometimes it causes despair among me and probably you to see and hear and feel these things!! What are we to do in this situation!?!? Can we have faith and hope when we are seeing these awful situations?

Not only do I feel disheartened by the state of the world, I also am regularly troubled by my own state! How do I keep making the same mistakes over and over again? Will I ever learn? Will I ever be able to go to bed at a reasonable hour on a regular basis (the struggle continues to be real for me)!?!? Will I ever be able to truly change? Can I actually leave my past in the past and become a different person?

I have good news! THE good news. ;) We CAN have peace and joy today even in our situations.
