when the Lord keeps drawing you to the same verse over and over???
At Spiritually Unequal Marriage…Lynn is hosting our Thankful Thursday (thank you Lynn!!) and her verse is THE VERSE! The one that He keeps directing my brain to….the one that keeps coming from the tip of my pen when I am writing a note to someone….it is the one that He wants us to KNOW and REALIZE!
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.”
Now do you suppose He has a reason? Of course He does! He is interested in EVERY SINGLE DETAIL of our lives. For that I am so thankful. He is right now watching over my sweet sister in the hospital…He is watching over us as we ready ourselves for bed….He is there with you as you sit and read these posts….He is with you as you travel, work, play,……breathe. Every breath. Every time. Whether the breath is a struggle…or easy. He is there. We aren’t promised ease….but we are promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us….He’s there to the end.
I am thankful for the ideas He pours into my heart and life. I am thankful for my family….the in-laws and out-laws….all of them. (Just kidding on the out-laws—that’s the ones “running from God.)
I am thankful for sleep and waking again. I am thankful for kind friends and bloggity buddies who take my needs onto their hearts as if it were their own family. I am thankful for interceding prayer warriors (Mama Doodle, thank you), and many other faithful church family who are right now interceding on my family’s behalf. You are precious.
I am thankful for you….for you faithfully visit here and offer encouragement….that is so precious to my heart. You have no idea how much you mean to me.
Visit with Lynn and the others for more “thankfulness” today.

I think the Lord is really speaking a message to a lot of us. That Scripture has been coming to my mind all week, and I saw several other women mention it as well. All I can think is that God’s really got something in store for us!What a sweet list of thankful thoughts, especially of sleeping and waking again. How many of us don’t stop to think about that one?God bless!

Angie I am praying for your sister and I can relate somewhat because I had a dear sister-in-law with cystic fibrosis who lived long for someone with this disease. She had a double lung/heart transplant and lived till she was 36. What a bittersweet funeral we had sufferning with my brother but knowing that she was with her Lord whole and well, able to finally breath well. We prayed her through many hospital visits. May God fill you all with a special sense of his love, peace and rest. God bless you all…

The Lord is so gentle and kind – reminding us over and over again of His love and faithfulness. I’ve grabbed hold of that verse often myself Angie.I’m a little out of touch because I took a long break, but I will be praying for your family.Have a blessed day.
