How did I come to join Silver bloggers?

My friend Hive account@giantbear encouraged me to come back to Hive. I saw that some of her posts was in Silver Bloggers. I came across a post of Hive account@lizelle aka Silver Blond Lizzie whom I know from Hive before. So I read her post about the #bom challenge and today I read about the Silver Names.

What is in a name?

Well my first choice was SilverLove but I was told that SilverLove was taken. I wanted that name, as love is my passion, but maybe it was meant to be Silver Hope as the word Hope mean so much to me. I choose my Hive Name, Hope777 but the 777 was dropped.

Hope is one of my favorite words. Hope is so much more than we normally use it. I hope that the sun will shine tomorrow or I hope he will come visit. That is the most shallow use of hope.

I heard this saying about hope that sticked with me.
Hope is the bird that starts singing while it's still dark

This for me come nearer to the meaning of hope, that bird trust, believes that the sun will rise.
Hope is alive, hope is a driving force, it will keep the dream alive.

The Oxford Dictionary's first description also bring it for me nearer to how I see the word hope:
a belief that something you want will happen

So where does my understanding from the word hope comes from. It comes from the Bible. In the Bible faith and hope goes hand in hand.
Hope in the Bible is looking forward to something with faith that it will happen.
