I Will Always Be Hopeful
August 8, 1998
I have earnestly been putting faith in God that our finances will straighten out. I must say, the last few days of not turning the numbers have been a lot more fun and fruitful than vegging on "What
will we do?!"
I am also trying to find the balance between EXPECTING God to turn us around and FAITHFULLY responding to him regardless. I know that even if this week does not work out financially, more faith and more giving will lead us down God's path.
Then I have this idea that all this "Bible Stuff" is going to turn me into one of those bible mongers; you know, those proud and VOCAL Christians who just leave a bad taste in my mouth. I know God will change me and my actions, but how do I safeguard against falling in the trap of SELF-RIGHTOUSNESS?
I just read the Catholic paper and it mentioned Hope as being the difference between failure and success or a good life and a downtrodden one. I will try to always be hopeful.
