Hope and Encouragement

Source

I've mentioned lately that we've been working through some tough stuff with the kiddos.  I don't know when it will get easier.  Probably won't be today, and might not be tomorrow either.  And that's ok.  But in the meantime, I've been working at finding ways to feed my soul through a weary time.

Does anybody else ever start feeling tired like that?  You know, the kind of tired where it starts on the inside?  The kind that comes from putting "one foot in front of the other" for a long time?

If so, then this song's for you.  It came up on my playlist the other day, and I've played it often since.

It Might Be Hope | By Sara Groves

You do your work the best that you can
you put one foot in front of the other
life comes in waves and makes it's demands
you hold on as well as your able  

You've been here for a long long time  

Hope has a way of turning it's face to you
Just when you least expect it
you walk in a room
you look out a window
and something there leaves you breathless
you say to yourself
it's been a while since I felt this
but it feels like it might be hope

It's hard to recall what blew out the flame
it's been dark since you can remember
you talk it all through to find it a name
as days go on by without number

You've been here for a long long time 

Hope has a way of turning it's face to you
just when you least expect it
you walk in a room
you look out a window
and something there leaves you breathless
you say to yourself
it's been a while since I felt this
but it feels like it might be hope

This is from Sara Grove's album *Tell Me What You Know. I'm a huge fan of her music - it speaks to my heart so often.  I hope it encourages you as it has me!
