I have recently been reminded how important hope is. Honestly, I hadn't even noticed that I had lost hope. Hope in the future, of feeling better, just of things changing. Until my husband pointed out that I talk about things like they are finished. It may feel like it, but I am not going to always be sick. Things will change. No matter how bleak today is, there is hope that tomorrow will be better. At least as long as I am alive. Lol.
Do you know how I can be so confident? Because God is a God of hope. Check out Romans 8. But it isn't "hope" if I see it. And worse case scenario, life isn't great.......I know there is hope when I die. I know Who I will spend eternity with. Nothing else should matter. So in light of THAT, and not of my present circumstances, I am going to choose hope. To believe that things can be better. Life without hope is aimless. Pointless. And extremely depressing. Trust me. I have tried it.

One other thing I noticed in your article that I thought I'd point out - you said your husband was the one that pointed that out to you - It's a wonderful blessing to have someone who actually pays attention to the things you say enough to notice something like that. Too often I see people criticizing someone's grammar, or something else equally irrelevant to what a person is trying to say, to the point that they don't even get the point, let alone notice something like that.
Aside from that, I completely agree with you, and have dealt with some of the same things. I worry so much about the things that I see going on around me that I sometimes forget the awesomeness that is God, and that nothing happens without him.
Not that I'm trying to tell you something you don't know, I just wanted to say that I think it's amazing that you have someone who cares about in such a way :)
