It’s December. In the ministry context it is one of the busiest times of the year. We have parties for every group we are connected with, if we are in a local church, then we all have Christmas assignments we must plan for, people are excited because it’s Christmas, and then we have all of our own families to think about in the midst of the scramble. There are so many levels of festivities during this month that we can be moving through them without being able to pause in way that we can really take notice of what we are celebrating. The phrase Thrill of Hope is used at Christmas time in various forms. But what does that mean? The old English definition (for when this song was written) a piercing penetrating desire and expectation of an obtainable good. In order to fully grasp the depths of this type of hope, is to have experienced hopelessness. That is what we are talking about today. We asked Eda Esilaba to sit with us to talk about her own experience.  ----- Follow us on Instagram @youthminnetworks&nb
