Jeremiah 29:11

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."

Jer 29:11 was brought to my attention by a good friend tonight as I received prayer for my upcoming trip to school. Am I ever glad he pointed me to it. I didn't realise how small my perspective was until I read that verse. I felt a lot of love and support tonight-- a new found confidence that things are going to work out and that God has me right where He wants me. I haven't been too worried about the set-backs with my trip. I haven't really worried very much about anything. I know who has it under control and that sometimes, things are just out of my hands. I had a feeling that I was on the right path, but it was an added comfort to just have people express that they support what I'm doing. It was a great send-off. About 6 people gathered in the basement of the church-- asking the Lord for peace and protection during my time away at school. I know that God has things in store for me, but I realised tonight that they are much greater than I can imagine. He's provided me with a wonderful support network and I feel confident going into the world, knowing I have people to watch my back. Woo Woo! *train noise*
