Do you have an expectant heart?
I recently read a blog that made me think about the things in life that I view as “interruptions” – the untimely phone call, the illness, the staff member with a question, or the issues with computers or printers that won’t cooperate. All of us know what it feels like to get bogged down in the unending challenges of daily life.
I was reminded by this blog that I need to embrace the interruptions and see them as gifts from Jesus – His call to a journey into the adventures He has prepared for me in the midst of every circumstance.
Isaiah 55:8 says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.” I have lived long enough to know this is true. I want to live with an expectant heart, looking for evidence of Him in every area of my life.
I hope you will review our “report card” for 2017 and see what God has accomplished in this amazing year at Hope. We have a new center opening in Pembroke Pines in a few weeks, and a male Client Advocate joining our staff in January to see male clients for 16 hours each week.
I invite you to join us on the journey into 2018 as we seek to discover hope in every life! Will you try to DISCOVER HOPE in new ways this year?
