Wednesday is for Women

I have always taught my children that God has a specific plan for their lives. That they should always seek the Lord when choosing friends, extra-curricular activities, college, career, and their future spouse.

Recently, God showed me that I, too, need to continue to seek His plan for me. In Jeremiah 29:11, He tells us that His plan for us is not to harm us, but to give us hope for our future. Like a road map, we choose which direction we turn. He continues through v. 14 to show us that if we seek Him with our whole heart, He will show us the road we need to choose.

God has led me down many roads as wife, mother, friend, teacher, daughter, sister, and the list goes on. As our relationship with Christ grows, He is able to reveal more of His plan. The key is not to get so focussed on the road we are on that we do not hear Him tell us to make a turn.

So, if you are a young wife, mother of small children, have kids in school, or if your nest is empty and you are entering grandparenthood, God has a specific plan for you.

What a grand adventure!

Travelling this road together,
