A Plan...


God has known what I have needed from the beginning.
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
Jeremiah 29:11


I found a beautiful christian song that  I would like to share with you.
The link to hear it is below.
The lyrics are as follows:

I hear it in a love song or see it on a movie screen
The kind of perfect love story
That I have always dreamed
Would somehow come into my life
And yet it seems so out of reach
Its all I think about sometimes
Will I ever find a love thats meant to be?
Maybe these thoughts seem foolish
To a holy God who made the sea and land
But you were the one who created
Love between a woman and a man
And deep inside I hear you say
You see all my hopes and fears
And if I give to you the pen of my life
Youll write a tale that all heaven can cheer

Far beyond my deepest hearts desire
Far beyond what I could ever dream
Far beyond my fairy tale imaginations
Is your perfect plan for me
Theres no limit to romance in all its beauty
When the author of love shapes my destiny
Far beyond the most that I could long for
I will find the dreams you have dreamed for me

I could search forever
I could look for true love everywhere
If all my dreams were answered
They still could not compare
To the beauty of your ways
And all your plans for my life
cause youve been scripting out a stfuory for me
Before the very foundations of time

I do struggle with trusting God fully with every aspect of my life. It seems when things are going great I forget that He is leading my life and I try taking hold of the reigns. Soon my world comes crashing down and I wonder why. It reminds me about a Sunday School lesson on the Children of Isreal when I was little.  I remember the teacher saying how when they fell away from God things went badly for them, but when they were right with him everything was ok. I asked why would they fall away and the teacher said it was because it is our nature. I look at myself now and know that I am exactly as the Children of Isreal, always having to be taught lessons. Some are harder than others.

P.S Eric and Leslie Ludy sing amazing songs! I have definitly found encouragement through them. They also write wonderful books. I recommend looking them up on you tube and listening to their other songs and clips of what they talk about.
