I'm waiting, without knowing what I'm waiting for. And so, I just keep waiting.
And I'm wondering, is hope supossed to hurt? Because sometimes, hoping hurts. Does that mean my hope is not set on what it ought to be? I think perhaps so. For I've been told hope does not disappoint.
Lord, let love grow in my heart, strong and true. Let roots of hope find solid ground to grow, let them reach deep into You. That though my eyes don't know what to look for, and my hands aren't sure what they should reach for, that the roots will know their branches and the hope will see it's truth.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. - Proverbs 13:12
So yes. Hope can definitely hurt sister.
Mm, I second the comment above me.
Praying for you. I've been there before.
I was going to post a comment about Proverbs 13:12 too! :) Somebody told me once that hope deferred is having your hope in something other than the Lord and when your hope is in something other than the Lord than you feel the fruit of a sick heart. I remember this often in my times of waiting; true hope is when your hope is in the Lord and hope in the Lord does not disappoint. :)
