Believe
Looking at this photo, I'm reminded of the electricity so many of us collectively felt on the evening of last November 4th. We were full of hope and ready for change, and we believed. Now, 4 months later, with our economy in shambles, with so many more out of work, with so many more working who still can't afford the basic necessities in life, I hope that we can continue to believe and to do our part in bringing about that change we so yearned for.
I know these are hard times for so many, and I just pray that in the midst of the darkness and fear and uncertainty that we will continue to hold on to hope, continue to love the least among us, continue to be comforted by a faith in all that is good and pure and beautiful and just in this universe...

this is such a beautiful shot.
i cried myself to sleep on Nov. 4th, thinking about all of the changes we were going to experience. God gave me a verse that night and your post just reminded me that my surest safety and hope and every pure and good and beautiful in this universe is found in Him:
"I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety." (Ps. 4:8)
Thank you for your reminder and encouragement not to give up.
I am definitely holding on to hope, although it is difficult to express it in the environment in which I work. Three of the people with whom I work are such bigots and look for every opportunity to disparage Pres. Obama. Two of them are bosses and it is hard to bite my tongue and I don't always. I might be looking for a new job one of these days. Excellent post, Sarah.
