I Have This HOPE

I Have This HOPE in the depth of my soul

This summer the boys and i had the joy of being part of a wave that moved through our community called kindness rocks.  We would paint rocks and hide them around our community hoping that people would find them and it would bring a little joy and happiness into their lives.  The idea is when you find the rock you enjoy it but then re hide it spreading more joy to others and so on.  

Just a few weeks ago on a Saturday morning the boys and i had just finished our pinewood derby workshop when Josiah decided to climb a tree in the parking lot.  (Jo can't pass a tree without giving it a go) What he discovered in the tree was a rock and on it, it said 'I have this HOPE in the depth of my soul.' A rainbow was painted on it.  He was super excited to find this kindness rock and passed it off to me asking me to hold onto it for him.  We loaded into the car and i placed it in my cup holder.  Over the days as i would get into my car i would see this rock and remind myself...Hope, have hope.  A few weeks later i still have this rock and can't seem to let it go.  As i did a little research on the phrase I Have This HOPE... I found a few things.  First i found a song by tenth Avenue... I decided to listen and clearly someone was trying to send a clear message when placing this rock in that tree in that parking lot.  Maybe it was a message i needed at that very time.  I do have this HOPE, whatever is meant to happen will happen in the depth of my soul.

I also found this blog with this story: https://tenthavenuenorth.store/blogs/i-have-this-hope-stories/mindys-hope-story  

It just has me thinking that maybe it's time, i should pass that rock on.  Drop it for someone else to find, maybe giving them hope.  I know what my heart wants, i know what it needs but it's just not yet my time.  There is purpose for it all, no fear just TRUST.  Keep your eyes open you never know where i may drop it...
