I stole this from Stef - go read her blog

This explains a lot...

"Hope awakens desire that takes us into war- so we try to kill our desires."

So what do we do with that?

You know me. You don't mind waiting.
You just can't show me, but God I'm praying,
That you'll find me, and that you'll see me,
That you run and never tire.
