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.
Nothing more comforting than a sleeping child.
What words of comfort today. It is a good day here at home. I am basking in the hope, love and peace that God has poured out in my spirit this morning. Noticing even my smallest blessings. We truly are a blessed people. And even when we aren’t sure about our future, we are promised here that He does. Our loving Heavenly Father has a plan for us. And that is all we need. Whether stuck at home with an extened illness in a child, as I currently am or at work, or at the hospital bedside of a loved one, or in the chapel of a funeral home, God has a plan for our future. And that is enough.
Love you dear ones!
Would you take a minute to share a time in your life when God was enough for you? Or when you didn’t have anything left and had hit bottom and God showed you He was enough?
Well there are financial trials, and trials with my 5 littles, and maybe trials with setbacks, illnesses and such. The most significant time was a quiet, personal, all-consuming battle with depression. I always thought anxiety and depression was “self-inflicted” like the person should just “get over it” until it hit me. I was too embarassed did not tell a soul, including my husband and just quietly suffered. I considered some harmful things I will not list but one night while I sat on the bathroom floor crying out to God for help, trying to catch my breath, for the 1,000th time, he heard me. Or he carried me from then on. I never took 1 pill, never got professional help, it was God who showed me the way back. So profoundly that I felt it, almost? He led me to the right scripture time and time again. I have neve suffered like that again after 8 years. He was enough then, he is in all things
Everyday, my husband has derivative arthritis through out most of his body and most days are a struggle but God is always there. I know He is the one on control EVERYDAY and working it out and helping us to carry on. Hugs
