Hope

The disaster of Hope I realize now that I have quit my job at the church is that 'hope and work' are tied together. Without an ability to DO something about your dreams, they stagnate, they frustrate, and they ultimately disappear.

Letting go is just as hard as anticipating something new. To let go means you gotta let go of all the dreams, all the things you were working towards and all the security doing the same thing gives you. The new thing is really not their yet. In our case we haven't evensettled on one clear decision.

I really get the idea of journey now. I can't stay, I finished on sunday. Gotta move ahead, and I hope it's good, but there is no guarantee. Without an ability to tangibly do something, hope is as elusive as planning good weather for your vacation. We never dream of it raining on our trip to the Caribbean, and when it does we feel bumbed, but if it's going to rain, it's going to rain. It's no wonder we get depressed when we are working at a dead end job, or when we have dreams we can never realize.

The journey comes with no guarantee.
