It’s been a while, dear readers. 2025 has been a challenging year and I’ve come around full circle to Advent season once again. Having meditated on Luke 1:5-25,57-66 with Elizabeth and Zechariah as my instructors, here are some lessons I’m learning about hope:

Hope sees your dedication.
Hope shows up in your disappointment.
Hope speaks God’s declaration concerning your life.
Hope celebrates your destiny even before it’s clear to you.
