Faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see...


On Monday, I asked my students what was happening "tomorrow."
" TUESDAY Miss Rachel! Duh!"
I probed them to find the answer that Tuesday was for voting, and when I asked what the voting was for, Terrance, 7 years old, replied...
" Barack Obama or the white guy!"

Hope. That my students who are 6 and 7 know who the President-elect is?
Hope. That my students have someone to look up to that is of the same color?
Hope. That our country will be unified once and for all?
Hope. That our God, who sits on His throne is completely in control though we cannot see Him.

I am sure that hope is worth pursuing and holding fast to, I am hopeful for our future--whatever that may look like.
