I had Hoped

It's been quite a roller-coaster ride over the past months. A few things that has really been weighing on my mind included my trip to Benin to build a water filtering system, going away for school in the UK in October, and unresolved relationship issues.

Can't get into much details... but a story that comes to mind is the disciples, on the road to Emmanis, downcast because the person they had entrusted their hope in, Jesus had died, and on the third day, have not come back to life to deliver them from their suffering.

"They had Hoped" in Jesus.... the right person to have hope in, but the intent for him has was their own, and not God's. That is why they were disappointed and downcast. Have I hoped in a resolution in which only I had painted the picture? Such as that I have been ignorant to the repercussions of my actions and ignore the picture the other person is painting for a path to resolution.... Is that why I don't see the whole picture?
