I've been thinking a lot lately. I need to let my brain catch up with my thoughts before I can get them all typed out. So I appologise for the lack of entries. :)

Jeremiah 29:11
One of the most well known Bible verses there is.
"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 a hope and a future."
That on its own is a pretty incredible thing we get to claim, huh?
I've been thinking lately about high school and the end of high school. (That's still over a year away for me, but only a couple short months away for some of my closest friends!) and lets just say... It gets confusing. Some of my plans I thought I was so sure of shifted an ever so small amount, but it was enough for me to need to reconsider and plan out my next couple years differently.
Questions of who, what, when and where meet endless possibilities and it gets overwhelming at times.
"For I know the plans I have for you... ...Plans to give you a hope and a future."
Do you know what comes right after that verse?
Maybe it gets read over a bit, because everyone focuses on verse 11... But reading this chapter the other day, I realized that verses 12-14 are just as lovely:
"Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord.
Seek me with all your heart, and I will be found by you. Isn't that amazing?

I cling to this verse still! Looking forward it is hard to imagine the plan but looking back...HE is crystal clear.
