"...plans to give you a hope and a future..."

"Good luck today! I'll be praying. Know that God will not let a jury stop you from finishing the plans he has for you."

"I hope your barrier jury went well today. God knows what he's doing either way."

-April 29, 2008

I saved both of these text messages all the way back from springtime, when I had to play my barrier jury. Today I was going back through my inbox at texts I had saved and came across these.

I learned so much from such simple messages, and at the time God definitely used them to speak to my heart, and show me something I had never even thought of before. God's plan for me is set in stone... meaning, nothing I do is going to get in the way of the perfect life story that He has planned for me. Even though it looks scary down the road - this semester... this year... this summer... in two years when I have a classroom of my own (yikes!!!), I know that ultimately, He's got it. I know I can't get ahead of myself, or this present day, because each day has enough trouble of its own.

In other words, things like school, and music, and these horrible, consistant migraines are not going to hinder me from finishing out the plans that my father has for me, and I don't need to worry about them because God has it under control...

Now, I just have to believe it with all my heart.
