9/8/2022 A friend asked if I was better today and I had to respond I am worser. Worser may not be a word but it does define how one feels. Constant pain and weariness I am used to but thinking I am on my own ‘tape delay’ is worrisome. Hope is hard to come by today but not impossible. When it feels like someone is pulling your toe from your foot hope is possible! When your muscles clench and hold for hours and even days hope is possible! When food tastes bad and seems wrong hope is possible! When walking into a room seems like walking into another world hope is possible! When walking is taking each step in the ocean up to your waist hope is possible! When others words comes as fragments you have to discern like a code hope is possible! Some might say I sound hopeless but isn’t is amazing to be hopeless means to have less hope so hope is possible!

This is an entry from my Hope Journal which helps me hope, beyond hope.

Grace is an undeserved gift. You could say God sees us as worthless. Like hopeless the word worthless does not seem to mean there is no worth and Jesus gave His life believing we were worth more than we can even imagine!

From my Grace Journal to remind me of our need not for agreement but grace in our relationships.
