Don't you love surprises? I do. It's that time of the year where you are surprised with many gifts. Surprises come in many forms. I like mine in cash HA! But, hey, I'm not picky. I know you do too. The best moments are those you didn't plan for. I received my bonus back in March. I worked hard and knew that money was coming my way. My boss showed no enthusiasm or excitement about what was coming. I sort of felt like my bonus was going to be peanuts.  I reminisced about reorganizing the supply cabinet and how I cleaned out the conference room stuffed with junk and how I had to put up with people who would clean out the microwave after they spilt stuff in it. I snapped myself out of my thoughts and smiled at all the changes I had contributed to my new workplace. I guess the girl I replaced gave up--not me! I pushed forward and waited for the fruits of my labor.  It took so long for the bonus announcement to come out, I forgot about it. Finally one morning I came in an

When your boss is unbearable, who is it that holds you close and never let you go? When illness comes on your family members, who is it that gives new mercy every morning and peace in every circumstance? Car accident, who wipe your tears from the pain?  Do you know?

He is the one who is your source of everything when all hope is gone.  He is the one that opened the door for the job you have right now. He is the one that knocks at the door of your

Hope is a beautiful thing. It keeps you moving forward. It motivates you to take one more step. Without hope, life stops.  Everyday you walk among others at  school or work.

You can restore that hope back into the world by first filling yourself with hope from God's Word then passing it on. Remember those "pass it on" cards in the Christians Bookstores? I love those cards.  I was struggling with making a payment due to my own negligence. I allowed myself to get trapped into credit card debt. The more I tried to get myself out, the more discouraged I got. It got to the point that my hope start fizzling out.  There was this girl, who must have been watching me at work, walked by and handed me a "Pass It on" card.  The card read "Faith in God Includes Faith In His Timing."  She didn't say a word and kept walking. I looked at the card, then I was lookin
