HOPE

"Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the Lord"
Psalm 31:24

HOPE!!! We often forget how incredibly strong hope is. Today I think we are all reminded of the power of hope with this historic presidential inauguration of Barack Obama. Our new president reminds us that with hope and the courage to act on that hope, anything is possible! And he encourages us to continue to act with hope so that we can move toward a brighter future for this country and for the world!

It is a difficult time we are living in right now. For my fiance Ryan and I, and for many of us who are getting married during this difficult time...it is all too easy to become bogged down, worried and stressed out about the state of our future and to forget to hold steadfast onto our Hopes and Dreams for tomorrow.

But the events of today remind us that with HOPE and FAITH in a bright tomorrow as well as the ever supportive and all-powerful, unyielding LOVE of one another, we will make it through and everything will be alright...more than alright...amazing!

Today I am filled with HOPE, a HOPE that stands bold and bright and beautiful against the dreariness of yesterday and sheds light on the endless and extraordinary possibilities of tomorrow!
