Hope Chest

Hope, in the Bible is defined as, "Confident Expectations". I really like this because I have started something new, a Hope Chest. This was the lords idea instilled in me. I have talked to a dear friend of mine about always being on my own and how terrible it is, but here lately I have come to realize that this is the position the lord wants me to be in at this point in my life. People my age think they have to marry now and have kids. Well for me, if the lord wanted this at this point in my life I would already be there and I'm not. He spoke to my heart that by starting this hope chest was a way to keep me looking forward to what he will bring and to keep me patient while he is working on it. This definition, "Confident Expectations"is what this Hope chest is for me. I am confident that one day he will bring along the 2nd love of my life and that everything that I want will be surpassed by what he knows I need and want. So, while other other friends in my life are making plans to get married and some have kids, I will be living my life to the fullest serving the lord in everyway possible. I am very excited about this Hope chest, not sure why...I guess because it gives me something to look forward to. All I know is I will contiune to be content with who I am and how I am while the lord is working on my future. This means one less thing to worry about, which I LOVE! With this idea I give the credit to the lord because he gave me the idea and he has made the way for me to get started! I cannot wait to see what is waiting at the end of this hope chest!
