Buried Hopes

"It's all very well to read about sorrows and imagine yourself living though them heroically, but it's not so nice when you really come to have them, is it?" 

-L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables 

Everyone loves a happily ever after. 

Everyone loves a hero. 

We all want to be heroic in some way or another. 

But héros have to do hard things.

And right now, in this chapter of our lives, we are living through the sorrow and hard things. 

We cannot tell the ending. We want to turn through the pages. 

How much longer? 

"My life is graveyard of buried hopes." 

-L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables 

  

"Is this why we desperately try to avoid pain, because suffering is a surrender to the incontrollable?" -The Broken Way 

How easy it is to want to give up hope. 

But Hope is an essential part of our story. Even in our suffering.  

"Suffering is where God lives. Suffering is where God gives the most healing intimacy."

-The Broken Way 

Trust and hope in the Resurrection!

"The way you live trust is by praise and thanksgiving, to praise and thank God in all things." 

-Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC  

Even with your buried hopes.
