For I Know the Plans I Have for You

Looking back on even this past fall, and before that, I see how fast God is moving in my life. He's putting together pieces I never thought possible and He's making a way for me.
This past summer, I helped with NBCA's Summer Arts Camp and taught the students a song thats main message was Jeremiah 29:11.
The music director said "Kylie, when I heard this the first time, it made me think of you." So I carefully took note of the lyrics, and tried not to shed a tear in front of the children while we were practicing. (The little girl singing it on the cd makes it even harder not to cry because listening to a little girl sing these lyrics made me think of how small I was when I wanted the dream that I still want.. and losing sight of it, falling away, going back to it.. etc..)

The lyrics are as follows:

Sometimes I feel so small
I wonder what God wants for me
What will I be?

(I dont remember the rest of the verse or if there is a second verse.. and I can't find a recording!)
:(

When I cannot find my way
I just remember the promise He made

"I know the plans I have for you
I know exactly what to do
I will work a wonder for your good
I will listen when you pray
give you peace for each new day
trust in Me your whole life through
I know the plans I have for you"

Trust me with all your heart
Seek me and you will find
a bright future filled with hope
and purpose for your life


Listening to little kids sing this song put it into perspective for me. It was so moving.. and to find myself in this situation right now where I really have to follow Jeremiah 29:11... it's humbling and it's amazing to know that He has my best interest and He knows exactly what I'm going to do for the rest of my life... and he knows every desire of my heart.

So, God, thank you.. for understanding that sometimes I say I want things, get mad when I don't get them, but You see the bigger picture and give me the things that my heart really desires- in Your own time- in the right time.
