“God stretches the northern sky over empty space
and hangs the earth on nothing.
He wraps the rain in his thick clouds,
and the clouds don’t burst with the weight.
He covers the face of the moon,
shrouding it with his clouds.
He created the horizon when he separated the waters;
he set the boundary between day and night.
The foundations of heaven tremble;
they shudder at his rebuke.
By his power the sea grew calm.
By his skill he crushed the great sea monster.
His Spirit made the heavens beautiful,
and his power pierced the gliding serpent.
These are just the beginning of all that he does,
merely a whisper of his power.
Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?”

Job 26:7-14

Hope is a funny thing. Without it, there’s no reason to continue. But you have to be willing to let it raise you high into the air and slam you hard to the ground. And when you’re down there, hope is still all you have left.

They came like unexpected and undeserved blessings.

This is the incredible view I am blessed to see everyday (although this sunset was quite spectacular) from my home atop the hills in La Mesa.
