Definition Of Hope
The word I choose to study for the word study exercise is hope. I selected this word because the past few weeks have been filled with various hate crimes and during a back to school rally held by our church individuals wanted to know if there were any hope of things getting better. God lead me to the book of Lamentations where Jeremiah wept for the destruction of Jerusalem due to the sins of the people. In the midst of Jeremiah’s tears he found hope in knowing that even though God promised destruction he also promised deliverance for his children. As believers we must have hope in God, knowing no matter how bad the situation maybe, God still assures us of his unfailing love for us.

    The Human Services profession is an occupation where one is not limited to do just one job or one sense of duty. I discovered the profession is a more of a mission rather an occupation where one who is pursuing this career must be caring, patient, willing to set aside one own personal viewpoint and must be able to work with a wide range of diversity. More importantly, able to perform on a professional level, with the client’s best interest, despite what one may feel is justifiable.…

    A Hope in the Unseen

    Cedric Jennings, the main character of Ron Suskind’s novel A Hope in the Unseen is an anomaly at Ballou Senior High School, an inner city public school of Washington, D.C. Raised by a single mother on a measly salary from the Department of Agriculture, Cedric is accustomed to working hard for everything he receives in life. An honors student and participant of Ballou’s special science and math program, Cedric dreams of pursuing education as a means to escape D.C. and carve out a better life for himself. Being a star pupil in a poorly performing school that scorns academic achievement is no easy role to play. Viewing the Minority Introduction to Engineering and Science summer program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an imperative step on his path towards a new life, he is shocked to find himself drowning in the work and competition around him. Cedric is surprised to find solace in returning to Ballou. After receiving admission to Brown University, Cedric feels he has finally proven himself to all of his naysayers and earned a ticket out of D.C. In his new Brown environment, Cedric struggles to adjust to the intense diversity and intelligence surrounding him. Although it takes the majority of his freshman year, eventually Cedric finds his own niche at Brown and transforms into a man capable of caring for his beloved mother. A Hope in the Unseen offers itself as a lens through which to examine sociological themes. Specifically, education, social deviance, religion and their respective implications can be thoroughly analyzed through the pertinent events of Cedric’s journey.…

    In his book, Surprised by Hope, N.T Wright is trying to explain life after death from a Christian perspective. Wright starts the book by clearly stating what he will be discussing. He states that: "This book addresses two questions that have often been dealt with entirely separately but that, I passionately believe, belong tightly together. First, what is the ultimate Christian hope? Second, what hope is there for change, rescue, transformation, new possibilities within the world in the present?” He sets the stage for the book, explaining how Modern Christians do not believe in the resurrection and that they tend to think that heaven and earth are two completely different realms.…

    “Jeremiah's message was a mixture of judgment on the sinful nation of Judah; and hope, after judgment and exile, of a new covenant relationship. Comparing the parallels between Judah and the spiritually low tide of our nation today, what message and teaching could be drawn from Jeremiah's portrayal of God as the Divine Potter? In a world fractured by religious, social, political, and culture tensions, how might we Christ Followers relate Paul's concept of "When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son..." (Galatians 4:4 ESV) to an upside down 21st century world?”…
