“Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” Proverbs 19:21 I’m not the biggest of planners, but I do like to have some idea in my head of what the future might hold. No one can truly plan though, bc life throws so much at us. The people in the Panhandle definitely didn’t plan for this hurricane to slam into their lives. My friend from our time living in Virginia didn’t plan for this stage 3 breast cancer to rock her and her family’s world. We didn’t plan for my grandpa to pass away last weekend. But yet, these things happen and turn whatever plans we’ve made upside down. And we keep going. We just keep going. With fostering, we definitely can’t plan the future. Right now I’m trying to plan Christmas, knowing there is a chance #babygirl “might” not be allowed to travel with us. I can’t even think about the spring, bc we don’t know how long she will be with us. Will she live with us for the next 18 years? Or come April will we once again have an empty crib? There are so many unknowns. So many. Yet life just keeps moving, and we deal with things as they come. I don’t know how I would be able to handle the unknown if I didn’t believe that God knows. And as hard as it is to trust Him and His plan, it’s all I have to hang on to. Life is hard. I can’t do it on my own. I’m so thankful for Jesus and His promises - that one day the hurt and messes will be gone. One day there will be no pain. There will be no more scary unknowns. One day... that’s the only future I can hold onto with my whole heart. Without it, I don’t know where I’d be. Thank you Lord for knowing our next steps - and help us to trust you unconditionally with our futures.
I’ve been doing my best to pursue drawing near to God the past few months, and it’s true, I’ve felt Him draw near to me as well. He’s always right there though - never changing or leaving, it just feels that way sometimes. But I’m thankful for a God that loves me and wants a relationship with me. He wants us to draw near to Him and that’s crazy cool with all He has to keep up with 😉 Good thing He’s God and I’m not because that’s a lot of relationships to maintain - but He’s so much bigger than I can even wrap my mind around. And more loving than I can wrap my mind around too. This will be a print in my shop later this week. It’s been a while since I’ve added new pieces to my print collection, but I have a few new ones about to launch! And perhaps a sale to celebrate...
