“ Hope can thrive in spite of our circumstances. ”;
– Jaime Jo Wright
– Jaime Jo Wright
"When I wrote The House on Foster Hill, I wanted to bring in an underlying theme to a relatively dark topic. Hope stood up and screamed to be recognized. I believe firmly that sometimes we equate Hope to being saved from our circumstances, but truly, we need to learn to find that Hope can thrive in spite of our circumstances. Life flourishes on taking us into dark alleys, forays into the shadows, and long marathons through valleys. Hope seems to be an elusive partner on those escapades and yet, our eyes are all too often focused within the circumstances. Scrambling to catch a glimpse of Hope is as impossible as perhaps, even making it through the journey.
In The House on Foster Hill, one character in particular, does not have a happily-ever-after. At least, not in the terms of this world and the confines of earthly thinking. Yet her hope flies above her circumstances, because it rests on Someone far greater, with a much broader vision for her life. Hope cannot walk without staggering if it is not accompanied by Faith. Together, they mold an eternal perspective that sheds shafts of light into the bleakness.
Hope isn’t the wish to be saved from, but the knowledge that you will be saved regardless of. That is the root of Hope in a God far greater and far more capable of conquering a momentary path of darkness. In His ability and promise, we find hope. "
