Picture by MorganThis year I feel I've grown in my Faith. I also feel I've grown to know Wayne so much more and I Love ever single bit of him.
2009 stole my Hope.
I know that sounds harsh and dramatic and I didn't even realize it was true until today while a woman in church was sharing her testimony and talked about Hope. I can't even really remember what all she said about it (zero short-term memory here!), but the idea really struck a chord with me.
I know I'm not the only one who lost a little bit of Hope in 2009. The majority of the country was affected negatively by the bad economy. I know my family is not alone and I know my family wasn't even close to being one of the worst affected. And yet I allowed it to get to me so very badly. I should have never let anything or anyone steal my Hope.
It's a new year. It's been about a year now since my dad got laid off. He now has a job that can't even really be called a job because he makes less in one week than what my mother makes teaching one day, but the job gets him out of the house, and he likes it. So even though our family is still not completely out of the woods, I'll hold onto the Hope that everything is going to be okay.

Hope is amongst the most powerful of human emotions. hope is never lost I think, we just some times forget it but it is always there and keeps us going.
I love you so much
At times I felt like I, too, lost a little bit of hope during 2009. But then I had to work hard to rebuild it. Hopelessness if not a good feeling. Not at all. I think we all- every single one of us here on this earth- need to work hard to maintain our faith, love, and hope during this year. Maintaining it is hard enough, and then the even harder part is working to strengthen it. We can't allow anything to rob us of these things. Life is just too short for that. 2010 is going to be a good year:)
Please write something on here, Jennifer.
Please.
Pretty please.
You are missed :(
