Refreshed and hopeful.

All is well.
I got about 24 hours of "city girl" time up in Minneapolis.
Delightful, refreshing, wonderful.

I'm feeling hope-filled and ready to begin a new week.

I had a little heart-to-heart with God on my drive back,
and I walked back into my house feeling like God was saying:
"Emily, live in hope."

Then I found this great Samuel Johnson quote.

Hope, indeed. Yes, I will live in hope.
