I've been a little stressed about making plans for summer (class and work-wise) and preparing to take out another loan for school. None of it seems stable at this point. Not even Starbucks. Every plan has a few different variables that are dependent on each other and I can't figure out one thing until I figure out another which I won't know until in a couple months. That probably didn't make sense, but just go with it. So, I started to freak out a little bit and then I remembered Jeremiah 29:11. I came to YouVersion to look it up and it led me this blog which talked about God being in control and used all these verses, plus some, to explain that. It wasn't too shabby.
I'm so thankful to God that He has my life figured out, because I sure as heck don't. I like these verses grouped together because they remind me, not just that God has it planned out and I don't, but too, that trying to figure it out without Him wouldn't be fun at all, so I shouldn't act like I can or that I have to.
