KEEP HOPE ALIVE DO NOT LOSE HOPE
Beautiful spirit, we meet again. I am stopping by today to tell you, “Do not lose Hope.” Keep hope alive.
Dictionary.com defines hope as “a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. ” What are you desiring to happen? Just because you do not see it right now, does not mean all is lost. Keep hoping. While hoping, be sure that you are also doing.
Take some quiet time and reflect. Do you need to make some adjustments in your desires? As for me, I have been saying for the longest time, that I was in transition. In other words, it’s time to pivot.
We sometimes stay in a place too long. We often get little nudges that’s it’s time to make a change, but yet, we ignore the nudge. Stop ignoring the nudge. Slow down and listen. Do not lose hope.
Yet, we often brush them aside, caught up in the inertia of our routines. But here’s the thing: those nudges are gentle reminders that there’s more waiting for us beyond our current circumstances. So, let’s pause, tune in, and really listen.
What matters most to you? Only you can answer this question. I love this passage of scripture which beautifully works for our quote of the day.
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 Wow!
Sit quietly and take that in. Breathe. Inhale. Exhale. I should have told you to have your pen and paper ready. Be prepared for the download that may not necessarily come in full but in parts. Write it down. Do not lose hope.
Now that I’ve made this download, I want to give a shout-out to a young lady, who made a pivot. She passed her Real Estate Exam yesterday. Congratulations, Susan!
If you want a shout-out for an accomplishment or pivot, let me know and I will be glad to celebrate with you on our blog.

“While hoping, be sure that you are also doing.” <— LOVE this part and the scripture too, of course. Such wise words, thank you for sharing!! Never ignore the nudge.
Linzi, I agree with practicing what I preach. With all the noise in the world, we can very easily miss the inner nudge. That’s why taking a little time to inhale and then exhale is so imperative. Can you say, self-care?!
What can I say about the Word, besides, it’s powerful and it works?! Thank you for visiting us here at Stylishcreativeyou.com. Keep shining, and spreading plant knowledge.

Hi GEM! It’s great hearing from you. I often get downloads when walking. And they always hit home in some fashion. Moreover, all of us can get in a rut. However, the goal is not stay there. Get up, brush yourself off and get busy. I’m counting on you to keep me posted
…
Have a Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year!
