The Reflections of My Heart 
I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord.  They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope. 
Jeremiah 29:11
What God is Teaching Me
"God can reveal Himself through flames of fire from within a bush, through a water-gushing rock, through a commanderof an army, or through a voice out of a storm."

"Even righteous people can be caught off guard by crisis and make horrible decisions."

"God heard sobs as if they were prayers without words."

"Our bodies are subject to time, but something in our hearts resists the temporal and longs for eternity."

"All normal people long for a life without end and a love that doesn't end.  For those who trust in Jesus Christ, the end of earthly life means only a change of wardrobe, from an earthly tent of flesh to a body fit for eternity.  Our longing hearts will find their fulfillment in Christ.  When at last our grip is peeled off the tree limbs, we'll wonder why we ever hung on."

"The most profound things God promised were often fulfilled against the greatest odds an through the most difficult hardships."

"God is not going to exempt His children from life's difficulty.  Rather, He highlights those very challenges to prove our faith is genuine."

"God doesn't just work through the strengths of man.  He also works through the weaknesses of man."

"God can speak a promise to His faithful child that will actually be fulfilled in the life of his or her descendant."
