Where You Lead

Life Plans

“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.”

Jerimiah 29:11

I’m not alone. God tells me that I’m not alone and that He is right here, waiting for me to ask Him about the wonderful plan He has for my life. That’s comforting and exciting and frightening all at once.

I look back and I see that I have had plans, too, but most of my plans have been lost by the wayside. I plan and then life happens. And I realize all too often that if my own plans had not been overridden by God’s plans, I’d be in one huge mess right now.

I know that God isn’t keeping His plans hidden from me. I know that it’s up to me to take the time and make the effort to listen to Him. God is waiting to share His plan for me if only I’d be open to His voice.

Today – and every day – I hope to sit quietly with his Word and listen for God’s plan to be revealed to me. One day at a time, I will walk the path that God has set out and I will be open to all that He is waiting to open up to me.

New Day, New Year, New Blog

I haven’t done anything with the design here, yet. I guess it’s everything as usual, with me running terribly behind schedule. The design will come soon enough, though. The important thing is that I make a commitment to write on this blog every day, no matter what. That is my New Year’s Resolution.

My intent for the year 2008 is to track my spiritual journey here. My inspiration will likely be a book by Carolyn Larson, One-Minute Devotions For Women. I’m not sure where this will take me but I invite you to follow along anyway. Maybe you can even join in. We can help each other along the way.

So now, without further ado, I will start off my New Year with my first step along this spiritual path. Let’s see what happens.
