One little word

I have decided to have one little word to see me through 2012. I didn't choose the word because someone else had it and I thought it a good idea. I didn't just pluck a word out of the ethos. No I ask my Father God and immediately He gave me 'HOPE'.
I've thought about this word for a few days now and, although I'm not at all sure where it will lead me I know that the adventure will be good and helpful to me.
I fancy doing it rather like an art journal at the moment, but, will it continue that way?
Here then is my first page, first attempt at something a bit different (for me anyway)

The two 'brackets' are representing cupped hands, I'm holding 'hope' not tightly as that destroys, but gently as if it was a delicate bird.
The verse underneath is from the bible, Psalm 42 verse 11 Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God.
