June has arrived!

     I know a lot of people don't like to think about this, but I just have to say it... Can you believe we are already halfway through 2011? That means we are halfway to Christmas, just a few months shy of halloween and Thanksgiving. Wow, time flies.


Do you ever stop and think to yourself, "What day is it?" or "Where has the time gone?" I believe at some point in our lives, we all reflect back on time, our lives, friendships and family, and the list goes on and on.


    The other week I had the opportunity to teach at church to our Wednesday night crowd, and the following day for the Drug Court/Day Report program at HSM.  I shared out of a popular passage in the Bible, Jeremiah 29:11-14.  In such a small passage of scripture you can find many promises from God. There is so much packed into these verses that I would like to share, but it would take many blogs and lots of your time! So here is just a small tidbit...


    When you look at this passage in the King James Version (which is not a version I read often!), you will find something you may have not noticed before.  Verse 11 reads in the KJV, "For I know the thoughts I think towards you," saith the Lord...  


   God thinks about us!  Wow!  Many times, since God is all-knowing, we may think that our Father doesn't have daily thoughts about us.  But He does! He loves you so much that He even tells you what he thinks about you... and here it is: "thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end" (kjv). In the NIV... "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (niv).


   God always has and always will think about you...positive things. He never puts us down, his love is unconditional. His love never fails.


   Even though we may get a little lost in our week, month or year, God is always there...thinking about you. He loves you. Trust in Him alone...
