If you read the tab above titled The Story, you may remember that after months of praying for the Dreamhouse, I had lost hope. I became discouraged and questioned whether or not God would ever answer my prayer. Through a friend, I realized that I had given up hope for my dream for a home. In response to this realization--and knowing what I believed God was calling me to do instead--to hope--I wrote this to God in my journal. Since then it has turned into a song. I sang it recently at an Open Mic event. It's titled Hope.
Dare I hope for the impossible?
Dare I believe for a dream?
The silence is deafening
No signs abound
But still in the darkness
He sings out loud:
Hope
Hope
Believe in what you cannot see
Hope
Believe
In utter impossibility
When all traces of life
have vanished and gone
When it makes better sense
to just pick up and move on
Hope
Hope
Believe in impossibility
Hope
Trust
In things you cannot see
He spoke the world into existence
He speaks all into being
Hope in what you cannot see
One week after I wrote this response/song to God, we received the phone call about the house. Right when I had lost all hope, Hope rose, and my dream came true. My prayer was answered. Because of this, I am now hoping for even greater miracles in my life than this.
Hope!
