The plans I have for you

How are you doing? This question understandably is answered differently as healing takes place and as I do the things that promote healing. In other words, time alone does not heal but I do believe time coupled with “leaning in to my grief” does promote healing. Knowing God’s Word and having a vital relationship with Him bring further healing from pain.

In the beginning, I would answer that I was managing moment by moment, and then it stretched to day by day. Now it seems to be good days and bad and more good days then bad. “Good days”, meaning days when there are no emotional tidal waves that come crashing on the beach of my heart.

Then you begin to see more clearly and are not so focused on survival. You start to move on though never forgetting. You begin to have plans, plans the Lord by His Spirit has put in my heart for outreach, for possessions, for future direction. Maybe in future blog postings I will share some of these 'plans'.

… “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep
secrets. (I Cor. 2:9,10)

"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)
