I chose hope because last year after ten years of marriage, my husband left. He didn’t want to be married anymore. I struggled a lot, cried a lot, and doubted a lot. I had been a good wife and here I was abandoned and alone. I requested a transfer with my job to Wilmington in July and started visiting PC3 when I was there visiting. I got the transfer in December and now am living one of my dreams…I live at the beach!!! I am reading “My One Word” and I honestly didn’t even have to think hard at deciding on my word. It is the first word I thought of…I started hearing the verse of the hymn “The Solid Rock”….my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ love and righteousness. During 2013 I had to really learn to give it all to Jesus. It’s hard when you want to solve your own problems but necessary if you want it done right. Now I am working on being patient for His will to be done in my life. I think of hope as depending on His promise…He will turn the mess in my life into something beautiful.
