1 Peter 3:15

This showed up from my Facebook memories from 2022 where I reshared from 2020... I needed this reminder today.

And I quote...


This post showed up from 11.15.2020. And it took on a whole new meaning to me today more than it did 2 years ago.

"Friday while doing deliveries at a business in Jacksonville, I happened to glance down and see the jumbled up letters in the grass. So I picked it up and showed the folks inside and they didn't recognize it. So I'll take it as another little message from God that I needed to see❤

Cleaning out my pocketbook just now and found it again so I looked up the scripture...

1 Peter 3:15
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.

He is my hope ❤
He is my strength ❤
He is my peace ❤
He is my Saviour ❤"


Today, 11.15.22, I want to add some extra ramblings.

What is the real meaning of hope?

Via Wikipedia... "Hope is an optimistic state of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes with respect to events and circumstances in one's life or the world at large. As a verb, its definitions include: "expect with confidence" and "to cherish a desire with anticipation."

He is the hope that I have when I can't see what the future holds because He wants good for me.

He is the hope that I have when I feel like I can't push thru another day because He is my strength.

He is the hope that has held my heart that has been broken like it has never been broken before thru these last almost 9 months because He knows loss, grief, and heartache.

The hope that no matter how bad everything around me seems, there is the hope the days will get better because He is my source.

He is my hope when I am hanging on to the very knot at the end of the rope so I don't let go.

He is my hope because He is my provider.

He is the reason why I can find hope and have the mindset things will get better. The reason I have a positive outlook on life even in the worst of times.

How do I face each day?
How do I do all the things I do?
How am I able to make the balloons like I do?
It is all because of Him and I'll always give Him credit first.
Every day.
Every step.
Every creative idea.
It is all Him 🙌
