When people try to do something new in their lives, they usually try to just add it on, making small adjustments here and there.

One of the incorrect ways to deal with being overwork is by going faster to do more.

A hurried lifestyle kills relationship.

When we live in a hurried lifestyle, God gets short-changed, shuffled to the back of the deck.

Carving out time to be alone with someone is important but the ability to still your soul and rest in that moment can be a greater challenge.

That future has got to have GOD in it, He has to be the Reason, and the Reward as well.

Hebrews 11:8–10

Hebrews 6:13-20 (NIV)

Biblical hope is a confident expectation and desire for something good in the future.

By His promise and by His oath.

Romans 5:3

“Suffering is a proof not only of the God-forsakenness of creation but of the depths of being. If there were no suffering in a fallen and sinful world, it would be finally severed from being; the depth of being shows itself in it as suffering. The mystery of existence is revealed in suffering… Suffering is a consequence of sin, a sign of sin, and at the same time redemption from sin and liberation from it. This is the meaning of Christ’s suffering on the cross. This is implied in all ideas of a suffering God. Consequently, our attitude to suffering is complex.” – Excerpt from “The Destiny of Man” by Nicholas Berdyaev.

“Pain may be ‘God’s megaphone’ to rouse a deaf world: without suffering we could be careless about ultimate realities, deaf to God’s loving plea to seek him and find life. Then, many of his best saints (including Jesus) were perfected through suffering.” - C.S. Lewis

“Expect great things from God.” – William Carey

The future is not a destination but a process of progress.

We might not always have all the answers but we can always have hope.

Hope is the first sign of progress.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Psalm 42:5 (NIV)

Hope lies beneath the surface. Hope when you don’t know how but you know WHO.

Disappointment is the passage to deeper hope.

“Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come.” - Anne Lamott
