Good stuff, Steph! I often wonder what his plans are - what it is that he is up to.
I pray more and more that we are able to trust this - and know that truth that follows this passage.
"When you call on me and come and pray to me, I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart I will be found by you."
Praying you through...
(and this encouraged me anew...)
Thank you.
This is beautiful! It is so comforting, in times of worry and doubt to know Christ has plans and is taking care of us even when we feel we are alone.
