Frustration gives way to understanding...

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Jeremiah 29:11


If anyone read my last blog then this one is a follow up. I just have to pour my heart out to someone. Looks like the internet is it.

I thought that what God did last night was an isolated incident however, this morning, while reading things on the internet, I stumbled across Jeremiah 29:11. This verse spoke to me and shook me to the core this morning. Plans...

Plans like he had for us last night, for my life this far. Plans...

Plans that he had when we were at rock bottom and barely making ends meet.Plans he had when my brother in law wrecked my car, Plans He had when every bad thing that came into my life happened to me.

If yesterday he cared enough to take Y.D.'s in Da Makin' trip to Kings Dominion that was messed up and turned it into something amazing and beautiful what will he do with my life? What amazingly horrible situations that I endure will he turn around to something beautiful?
These questions bare down on my soul like a pressure that no one can withstand. Lord, what is your amazing plan for me? What laughter, tears, joys, or concerns are coming my way? And if the Lord of the Universe puts them there then who am I to contest them? I am His. And without him, I could do nothing. I can only sit at my kitchen table today and smile.

Because I have backup. I have a God that will take whatever horrid that comes my way and twist it into something beautiful. I have a God that intends to make my life a healthy and happy one. So let them test me. I am sick of believing with 50% of myself. So here I am Jesus...
