Borrowing Hope

Dear Reader-Friends,

I’ve been silent here for three weeks, longer and easier than I imagined. Thank you for your notes of concern and encouragement and especially for your prayers. They help, every single one. Please forgive me for not responding with my usual speed or faithfulness; it has certainly not been for lack of appreciation. You bless me, and I am grateful.

I wanted to tell you that I’d be on hiatus for a certain amount of time while I figured life out, but it turns out that life is a little more complicated than an orderly blog posting schedule allows, and so I have no idea when I will write here, but I do know that I will write because that is what I am here for. And as soon as I have life figured out, you’ll be the first to know, or at least you’ll be the first to know when I have something half-decent to say about the fact that I do not have life figured out.

Which, as it happens, is sort of what my monthly contribution to A Deeper Story is about today. And so I hope you’ll join me there for Borrowing Hope.

–Tamára

  1. T: Please oh please! You know my computer croaked! I lost all my contact info! Please send me your phone number again! I’m going crazy. I promise you the call will be worth it!

  2. Biggest squishiest hugs from Canada, T.

  3. Tamara, you are always in my thoughts and prayers.

  4. Hugs & prayers to you, my friend. Please know that you are not walking alone. We are all here with you and God will not abandon you. Much love.

  5. I love you. I miss you. I’m praying for you. You rock. You’re the bomb. You will find your way. The Light will shine. It will be clear.

  6. Hi Tamara,

    I don’t now what’s going on, but know that I stopped by to say hello, and that I thought of you this evening… May God whisper his love to your heart in the deep spots that need it tonight.

  7. Ah, when life is messy, sometimes it’s best to just.be.still. As others have said here, the way will become clear. May you sense God’s presence as you either wait or slug forward.

  8. I suspect most of us would be happy to hear whatever you are thinking on your journey. If not here, perhaps elsewhere in a less formal forum? FB page or something? I dunno. Just a thought. Prayers and hugs!

  9. You’ve blessed us all with your words so many times, but in times like these our own words often feel hollow. May the right words of hope and encouragement keep on finding you at the right time, Tamara, and may you find your way. Thinking of you!
