It's not always easy to admit to ourselves or others when we have given up on something
Negative thoughts about ourselves can be debilitating and discouraging
God's thoughts are higher than and completely different from ours
We have dreams we want to see happen and visions we want to accomplish, but it takes a lot of energy to keep running toward them.
The holidays are a time to celebrate hope, and there's nothing greater than the hope God brings with the birth of Jesus.
