There Is Still Hope by Jeremy D Vance

Do you cheer for heroes when they experience “the dark before the dawn?” Do you keep reading? Then perhaps like me, you believe in hope. Hope is what keeps me going when things are dark.

Sometimes life throws at us difficult things like conflict or sadness and others don’t seem to want to help us. We may appear to be very alone. Yet for me, my hope is not in my circumstances because they always change. At times, they even worsen. My hope is in something that does not change or even better, a someone.

This someone for me is God. I’ve been through job loss and other rough things, but the constant has been that God has never abandoned me. Yes, I have not seen him, but I know deep in my heart, without a doubt, he has always been with me. I’ve even been angry at him. He took it and patiently waited for me to talk to him again. I have learned to rely on him when dark circumstances descend on me.

When we may be different than others, people can tend to reject us, but know that God will stick around if you ask him. He’s done it for me, he can do it for you too. He is my greatest hope.

When God Derails Your Plans by Jeremy D Vance

All this time, I believed I would be writing speculative fiction. After another period of distraction, I read about the church at Ephesus in Revelation 2:1-7. This inspired an idea that morphed from time travel to a contemporary inspirational fiction story. The story just didn’t fit with what I was writing so it became what it is now. God has a way of shifting our life’s plans when we least expect. Instead of being directed towards children or teens, the story is geared towards adults. This looks like it’ll be a permanent move as well. So….the website will be changing soon. God knows what He is doing and He will continue to direct my future as I trust in Him. All glory to Him.

Our Hope In the Midst of Trouble by Jeremy D Vance

Everyday we deal with the world’s trouble. We may experience the loss of loved ones or our savings might dwindle from unexpected bills. We can grieve or be angry for awhile, but do we allow these troubles to lead us to despair? Do we drown in our feelings without any hope whatsoever? When trouble comes to us believers, we are given the opportunity to focus our faith on Jesus. In the above passage, the news of Christ’s imminent death confused and saddened the disciples. Yet Jesus wanted them to know that though trouble exists in the the world, He has in fact overcome it. Though death exists, it has been overcome. Though pain exists, it has been overcome. What an assurance! We don’t need to fear the world’s troubles, because Jesus has overcome them all and the power behind them. Believers, let’s not fear hardships anymore. Let them come for we rest our faith in Jesus.
