"hope gets birthed in the dark before the dawn." Sara!!! There is just so beautiful much to those words--so much.

I have called the Saturday between--silent Saturday. And how hard for it to have been the Sabbath, and for them to have not been able to "do"through the midst of that cacophonous silence.

Oh Sara! The waiting… the in between … the stillness. I think that’s harder for me than even the dying part. And I’m here right now. Again. So this was a very hopeful post for me. Thank you!

As you write "Hope is losing it's fragility" and I feel that because I too have "travelled a distance". Praise to Him because He gives us this strength, His vision and hope. Happy Resurrection Sunday to you and your family. Thank you for your words.

Thank you for the hopeful and real post! I’ve been away from Substack for a few weeks and it was wonderful to be back and read your words after a challenging week.

“Hope is losing its fragility.

What an unlikely story — hope gets birthed in the dark before the dawn.”

I know hope is there, the struggle is to truly feel it … some days are better than others and I am grateful for those. Still others provide opportunities for me to search for the hope I know is there and for the One who provides it - I’m grateful for those as well, although not always in the moment.
