hope...

We all know hope is real. It's what helps us fight through the hard days. It's what keeps us strong. It's the force that reminds us never to give up. I pray that we've all been able to experience the power of hope. Even if it's just the push that gets you to smile even though you don't feel like it, it's still an amazing force. It's something tremendous in whatever amount you see it in. It's always real. It's always powerful. It's always there for us when we're ready to find it but what does it look like?......I'll keep adding and adding, this isn't it....
