Hello!
Looking at my life right now I would have to say my life is a pretty good one. I play with adorable children for a living, am blessed with an amazing roommate, and I have been surrounded with a wonderful community and family. But if I’m being honest I have to say it’s not perfect. I am still broken in many ways. I fail sometimes (ok, maybe often) and I hold myself to impossible standards. I have many shortcomings and I have failed to make it this far in life without a few scars to show for it. So I cling tightly to the Hope I have been given. That is why I wanted to share a song I heard for the first time last night at church. I suggest (strongly) that you download it and listen to it on repeat about 100 times just to make sure it soaks in. You won’t regret this decision. I’m just saying. . .
 
 

Hope’s Anthem
By: William Matthews and Christa Black
He’s awakening the hope in me
By calling forth my destiny
He’s breathing life into my soul
I will thirst for Him, and Him alone
 
He has come like the rain
That showers on the barren plain
So my heart and tongue confess
Jesus Christ, the hope of man


My hope is in You, God
I am steadfast, I will not be moved
I’m anchored, never shaken
All my hope is in You
 
He’s bringing hope to the hopeless
And giving His heart to the broken
And sharing His home with the orphan
He is the joy, He is my joy
 
He is the hope of the nations
The Father’s heart we’re embracing
He is the song we’re declaring
He is the joy, He is my joy
 
Let hope arise!
