       Many of us have had dreams and visions—things we hoped to do and to accomplish—great things, which in a moments time were shattered. Everything that was built up, and all that was thought-out, was torn down in a brief moment’s time. Hope seemed to evaporate and be gone. And after the hope is gone, there seems to be an empty and unsettling feeling that sets inside. Many ask questions to themselves—if only I had done this or that; if only this choice had been made instead of that choice. And the questioning continues on-and-on. But, we all have to realize at some point, to some degree, that the time to move on has come. There was the disbelief, then the shock, then the mourning, but now has come the time for new beginnings. Remember what Solomon said in Ecclesiastes, “I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him” (8:12, ESV).
