Introduction

When the clock chimed twelve times at midnight on January 1, 2020, excitement erupted in the air. It was undeniable. The new year and new decade filled the heart of men, women, and children with a spirit of anticipation. This year was supposed to be one that released 20-20 vision that should have been absolutely perfect for us to envision and embrace a much better tomorrow.

I was among the multitude of writers who shared thoughts about the importance of maintaining a vision for the new year. Here is the link to my story.

Sadly, none of us saw what was really ahead of us.

We were totally unprepared for the desperate events that were coming. Within a few short months after the fireworks, the cheers, the hugs and kisses, and the happy celebrations at parties and social gatherings that we all experienced the moment the new year arrive disappeared as though they never existed. We absolutely lost our way because we lost faith.

Despite the atrocities, anger, division, sorrow, confusion, and unpredictability of our current times, I offer you hope.

I recently published an article called “Biblical Encouragement” to offer support to those who need it during these troubling days. The link is attached below.

This uplifting article also provides hope to readers who could use a little more help in rediscovering their perspective in life so that hope is recaptured.

The Biblical scripture Jeremiah 29:11 does just that. It reads:

“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’” declares the Lord, “‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”
