This post is awesome: Right up there between "Should I give up on my New Years Resolution or not?" and Am I the only one single? Valentine's Day nerves :) - Kate


Hey everyone! My name is Katie, and I blog over at liliesofgrace.blogspot.com .

Today we're talking about God's plans for you. Now all of us have those moments when we ask God "How can this be your plan for me?".

Well, God doesn't always work in ways we understand. And yes, this can be hard. The verse I always think of when I'm struggling with not understanding is: "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." Jeremiah 29:11.

This verse is so encouraging! God plainly states that He knows the plans for each and every individual, and these plans are to prosper us. This is really hard to understand especially when a family member dies or when a family pet dies. But God never makes plans to harm you. He has a reason for every single hardship he puts you through.

It also helps to pray to God when you're going through a rough spot. I guarantee He'll listen to you.

Whenever I feel let down or when I'm in a tough spot, I pray, and every single time I feel better afterwards. :)

Sometimes I sit down and wonder, "What does God want me to do with my life?". Well for all those other people out there wondering the same thing remember: God DOES have a plan for you, and you should never, ever give up hope.

I hope this an encouragement to everyone out there with their doubts in life!

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
~Philippians 4:13

Have a beautifully blessed day!

Made It Thru Monday: Two Boy Scouts

1/4/2015

So, have have you all fared with the shock of the nice peaceful break to school... and work... and other similar tortures?

This one is long, but worth it:

Two boy scouts went on a nature hike in the hills picking hickory nuts. Along the way, they filled their small pails and then started to fill their pockets and shirts.

When they could hold no more nuts, they started down the country road until they came across a cemetery. The boys decided that would be a good place to stop and rest and divide out the nuts.

The two boys sat in the shade of a large oak tree and unloaded their pockets and buckets by dumping all of the nuts in a large pile. In the process, two of them rolled away and rested near the road. The boys then proceeded to divide out the nuts.

"One for you. One for me. One for you. One for me."


As they were doing this, another boy was passing by and happened to hear them. He looked into the cemetery, but could not see the boys, because they were obscured by the tree. He hesitated a moment and then ran back to town."Father! Father!" he yelled as he entered his house.

"The cemetery. Come quick!"

"What's the matter?" his father asked.

"No time to explain," the boy frantically panted. "Follow me!"

The boy and his father ran up the country road and stopped when they reached the cemetery. They stopped at the side of the road and all fell silent for a few moments. Then the father asked his son what was wrong.

"Do you hear that?" he whispered. Both people listened intently and heard the Scouts.

"One for me. One for you. One for me. One for you..."

The boy then blurted out, "The devil and the Lord are dividing the souls!"

The father was skeptical but silent -- until a few moments later as the Scouts completed dividing out the nuts and one Scout said to the other:

"Now, as soon as we get those two nuts down by the road, we'll have them all."
