We held on to hope, while hope held on to us. And we danced, and still dance, with relentless joy.

Whatever your "it" was, doesn't win. Yes it was gut wrenching. Yes it was a miserable experience. Yes it was enough to make you give up. Yes it changed everything. Yes it has haunted you.

....and otherwise, leave you jaded, closed, bitter, etc., but the lord wouldn't have it so. I wouldn't have it so. We'd work too hard, and came too far, to let external factors destroy internal blessings. We stayed open. We grew. We exercised hope. We flourished.
