Welcome to Hope Talk
I am up in VA with the kids celebrating Thanksgiving with them as they cannot leave the area for military alertness. It has been a grand time of laughter, learning, and living out who we are as believers and seeking to know that God is orchestrating all that is occurring according to His perfect plan and purpose. I am reminded to know that we have very much to be thankful for during this time even though 2020 has been a very difficult and trying year for us to endure. He knows the way I take and will bring me forth as gold we are told by the famous Job in 23:10. But what we left out is when He has tested me which is inserted before the promise of coming forth as gold. The refining process is not easy, fun, or desirous for any of us. We love the gold standard or conclusion but getting there is not all that enjoyable. God is good and kind and will only allow what will glorify Himself and extend His kingdom. So while in the fire, remember Who stands next to you… “there is another one in the fire” as the song says. He does not take you anywhere without Him. He is always in the fire with you. Have a grand time with family! I love you all.
