I've been realizing that there have been things where I haven't wanted to hope. That I haven't wanted to admit that I long for. Where I haven't wanted to trust that if they didn't go the way I long for deep within me, that I would still be okay.
God's been reminding me to long for things again. To trust him even with the things I want so badly, I'd rather admit I don't want them, for fear of the pain if they don't happen
And so, I'm letting hope exist. And reminding myself again that God is my strength
