My first dream, the hope of my heart from a very young age was to one day be a wife and mother. I planned for it, I imagined it, I wanted it. Did I confidently expect it? Perhaps. Until one day in the sixth grade, a classmate told me she didn’t know who would ever …

Hope: looking forward with confident expectation. As I scour the scriptures to build a theology of hope, I find that hope is always linked to Jesus’ death on the cross. It is his death that secures my future. I am guaranteed eternity with him in heaven and I look forward to it with confident expectation. …
