The Plan Is...What?

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11, NKJV)

When was the last time you were amazed by God's plan? I want to share such a story with you. As I've shared before, the day before Thanksgiving in 2011, the Lord brought a special lady into my life. That lady is Debbie Holman. In almost a year, we've grown as close as sisters would be. Although we live more miles apart than we'd like, that doesn't stop our friendship from getting stronger each day. Each time I'm struggling, I can go to her for support and comfort. This lady will go to bat for me with all she has! We joke and say she'll pull Trudy Lou (that's another story) but, in all seriousness she would do that. Do you have some one that God has brought into your life that will go to bat for you at a moment's notice? Neither Debbie or I realized the bond that would develop from a long chat on facebook one evening. There are days when I sit back and marvel and ask the Lord "your plan was this?" All I can say is that I am so greatful that He has sent such a precious lady to me. Debbie, thank you! Ladies, if you don't have a friend...a confidont...let me encourage you, ask the Lord to bring just the right person. Let me assure you, you'll be amazed!

Father, thank You for the friends you've sent our way. Thank You Lord that on the occasions when they can't be there, You are our greatest and dearest friend. There's not a human on earth that can replace you. I pray for my readers that you'll send her a friend that she can confide in at any time and for anything. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Part of the Plan!

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11, NKJV)

It happened without reasonable explanation. It was a God-thing, no question! Let e take you back. Picture the day before Thanksgiving of 2011, excepting a seemingly ordenary friend request on facebook. But, it was anything but ordenary...it was extraordenary! From that point, that friendship has turned into something I will treasure for the rest of my life. When we finally got to meet in person for the first time just over 2 months ago, that sealed it for us both. My point to this story? My point is that God knew before either of us that we were going to be introduced on facebook by a mutual friend, who in turn has changed both of our lives. He knew that over the months after Thanksgiving, we'd need one another's love and support like never before. Do you have someone in your life that you know without a shadow of a doubt that God placed them there? You can't explain it, but they're there each time you need a friend? Ladies, let me encourage you that if you don't have someone like that in your life; ask God to send you that special friend you can call on at any time of the day or night.

Lord, thank you so much for the friends you've placed in my life. Thank you that it was by devine appointment that they're placed there. I ask for each of my readers that you send a special person that they can call friend and know they can call on her at any time. Thank You Lord! Amen.
