"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." ~ Jeremiah 29:11This verse has been on my mind lately, primarily because it has become incorporated into the "novel" I'm writing. Even as I weaved it into the life of my heroine, God surprised me by weaving it into mine.
Now, unlike my characters, I am not living through any immense hardship, such as a civil war. But lately I've had to - with my parents leadership - make some milestone decisions, so to speak. After some prayerful consideration, I've decided to apply for a job at Chick-Fil-A. Wow, you might be thinking, fast food! Big deal. But it will be (assuming I get the job!) my first "real" job, besides babysitting. It's taking a big step into the unknown, but besides being a little jittery about the impending interview, I have peace about it. Because whether I get the job or not, God is still sovereign! He knows His plans for me...and they are plans that are going to be way better for me than what I might imagine.
On the topic of new-ness, I am also learning how to drive and hopefully will be getting my learner's permit in the near future. This is not so scary for me...though I can't speak for everyone. :) But yes, God knows the plans He has for my parents, too. :)
So! That being said...your all's prayers would be appriciated as I am walking through these new seasons. I am so blessed by every one of your friendships...you guys are true blue...sticking with me even in the little things. I love you!
In Awe of Him,
Elisabeth
