if hope is a car

if hope is a car
then mine is a jalopy
out of gas
overheated
i am pushing it
up hill
the only way i'll stop
is if it
rolls back
over me

i'm not giving up.

though my legs wobble and shake under the pressure, i am refusing to abandon hope. perhaps some day, i'll realize this jalopy was really a chariot and i was riding in ease the whole way. perhaps someday. but now i see with failing vision, under burning sun, and hope and pray for tomorrow to be a day of rest, peace, and fulfillment.

for those who have only recently joined me in this journey, i thank you for your words of kindness and encouragement. i look forward to the day when all this makes sense. and i look forward to the day when i witness you receiving your just reward for faithful prayers and exhortation.

peace!

It's good to have you posting again.

Check out the quote I copied out of Graham Greene's Ministry of Fear on my storyboard blog. It plays into the theme of hope--and how important dreams are to hope.
