This title may sound a bit like a cliche World Race title, but it’s not.

Hope is a beautiful little girl that I’ve had the privilege of hanging out with this month.

She’s a diva & wants undivided attention.

She’s intelligent and independent.

She expects you tell her she “do good” after each action.

She has a smile that lights up the room.

She laughs those deep belly laughs ’til the point of falling over.

She loves with her whole being.

[She is diagnosed with cerebral palsy.]

This little girl has shown me what it means to have true hope. She lives daily life to the fullest. She lets tomorrow worry about itself because she knows who holds her future.

Hope has taught me to take hold of what God has given me. She has taught me to be thankful for my daily bread. She has taught me not to worry about tomorrow. She has taught me that the little things are the most important things. She has taught me to laugh [  a l l  d a y  l o n g  ]. She has taught me to smile even when nothing is going my way. She has taught me who He is and he has “done good” with my soul.

She’s beautiful inside and out. I’ve decided that when I grow up, I want to have the same outlook on life that Hope does.

Pure. Joyous. Faithful. Hope.
