Everything rides on Hope on...

(That was Sophia is the NICU, after 12 days of wires they came off and she came home, HOPE)

Addison Road ... Everything Rides on Hope

If everything comes down to love
Then just what am I afraid of
When I call out Your name
Something inside awakes in my soul
How quickly I forget I'm Yours

I'm not my own
I've been carried by You
All my life

Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

When my life is like a storm
Rising waters all I want is the shore
You say I'll be ok
Make it through the rain
You are my shelter my from the storm

Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

I am not my own
I've been carried by you all my life

Everything rides on hope now

Your love sets me free



Just needed to share,
When we have lost all and are down on our face and knees, it is the hardest thing to do but finding a glimmer of light, a warm hand, and hope can pick you up and carry you through.

For me hope is all I ever had.. In so many moments, and still do......

Hope that my mom never suffered the way I remembered to have, Hope that somebody somewhere would love me, Hope that I would make it on my own, Hope that he'll always look at me as the perfect women he thought he married rather then the big old mess hes found out he married, Hope that we would have a child, Hope that the child I was carrying would make it 12 ,18, 24, 30, 36 weeks (She made it 35), Hope that all those wires would come off of her sooner rather than later, Hope that I would take her home from the NICU, Hope for all of those that didn't take their child home from the NICU, Hope that the drugs I took to get her here didn't put her there, Hope that my father knows how much I love him and that he will always be that big strong man that carried me in a dancing costume over a flooded street just to get to a competition with a smile on his face, Hope that my step mom knows how much I think of her as a mom but struggle with calling anyone else mom since losing mine, Hope that the people in my life that have not let Jesus into their hearts do because I want to be in Heaven with them, Hope that I show my daughter all I can about Jesus and that she always has him in her heart as her savior so that I may walk with her in eternity, Hope that all this crazy stuff in the world is really just a big fat joke, Hope that my friends who walk with me daily really know how much they mean to me, HOPE..... What ever happens Hope can get us a better nights rest and a simple tomorrow, Hope can make us smile through the heavy cloud of tears, and Hope in Jesus can heal.
