The voyage in life has begun. We set sail on our journey to the future with our hopes, our ambitions, and our dreams. The sun shines brightly. A gentle breeze blows. A great job, a wonderful family, our happiness is in order. When all goes according to plan we feel strong and are confident that nothing can shake us. The things we hoped for, planned for, and worked for have now taken place in our life. With joy and contentment in our heart we sail onward. The sun shines and despite all the troubles elsewhere, you are confident nothing can happen to you. The south wind blows softly. In the midst of your journey the unexpected happens. You scramble to take control of your ship. An event occurs that has shaken the foundations of your life to it's very core. The dynamics has changed. We struggle to see what lies ahead in the torrential rain, only to be blinded by the pelting drops. The boisterous wind swirls about us. The question you must not ask is, "What are you hoping for", for we all know that we are hoping for the storm to pass us by. In the midst of the storms, we must answer this question, "What are you hoping in?".
