Hope

Hope is just 4 letters, yet the true meaning has endless possibilities.

Words have hope. Feelings have hope. Tears have hope. People have hope.

God brings and embodies hope .

Please always choose hope, hang your hat on it, bet it all on it. Embrace hope. Cling to it if you have to.......I dare you to hope and believe.

This book is entitled Hope, but there is so much more here. Jamie's vulnerable and faithful spirit is written for us all to see.

I see hope. Hope for his family members and loved ones he has lost, hope for his children and the beautiful blessings to come in their lives, hope for his divine counterpart, his wife and partner who shows him love and acceptance unconditionally.

This IS hope. Take some along wherever you go.

Thank you for sharing hope with us, Jamie.

Here are a few samples of poems from the book.

THE SHORE OF THE STILL WATERS
Jesus, You are beautiful
Your radiance lights the path
Through the greenest of pastures
Beyond the shadows
Past life's raging rivers
Guiding my soul
Further away from sinful repetition
Led toward the shore of the still waters
Where I shed the old ways
Becoming more than changed
A purification through brilliance
Where I am one with the Father
Jesus, You are beautiful.

A BURNING BUSH
Do we need a burning bush
To know that He is with us?
Do we need a global flood
To repent of our wrongs
Does the church need to sing
To hear a holy worship song?
Do we need to burn an offering
To have a sacred relationship with the Father?
All we need to do is look towards the cross
Looking forward and across
The vastness of redemption
To know our sins are forgiven
All we need to do
Is embrace the holiest of invitations
As He calls each of us by name.
