Prosperous Plans

I have 2 very dear friends of mine who spent at least 2 hours talking with me on my bed today.. at 2 completely different times!
































































I am so refreshed.




These 2 have deeply encouraged me! And Christ who lives in them spilled His living water all over me this afternoon as I sat with them and talked with them about the Lord. Its times like these I am gratefully overwhelmed by Jesus:Himself.




I am simply amazed that He chooses to work through an imperfect character like me. It is HIS plans that HE carrys out through people like me.....who fail to love Him fully- even just for one day! (I boast in You! 1 Corinthians 1:31)

























His Word is so alive, y'all.
It is more real to me than ever before. :) :)



The road that is ahead is an exciting one! Of course the 3 of us do not know where we will be or what we will be doing or how. But our God is much bigger than our questions and the Unknown. I hear Him in His word.......plans to prosper you, to give you a HOPE and a FUTURE.......many are 'your plans'... but My Purpose prevails!



I heard an illustration once and I feel like I need to share it. (I'm not even sure if many people read this.. but the few that do.. I pray that this encourages you!!)




..the other day I took my imaginary pencil and slowly drew a tentative circle around myself. "Is it possible that I don't belong here, heading towards this future? What am I suppose to do here? Is this life that I am setting up the wrong for me and the right for somebody else?" He takes the pencil and erases the circle around me. You belong. You belong in this moment. Because this is where I have put you. He draws a circle around my worry, doubt, and fear. These do not belong when I AM in the picture. He reminds me, I cause EVERYTHING to work together for the good of those who love Me.. so TRUST Me. And stop using this pencil. (Because I died to erase that circle.)



The good of me.. the good of you..
is in whatever HE has planned, my friend. How comforting is His everlasting faithfulness!
