"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11, NIV
Notice the period at the end of the sentence. He does have plans for us; for all of us. It doesn't matter if we're gay, or if we're Catholics, or even Atheists. He has plans for all of us. Whether we follow them or not, well, that's our choice.
I live in a rather complicated family. I have five birth siblings and three in-law siblings. All of which are my Aunt-sters (Aunt sisters) and my Unc-ers. (Uncle brothers) I was born from my birth mother when she was just 17, and my birth father, whom I have never met and never care to meet, left when she was only 5 months pregnant. I was born, and Birth Mom had no idea how to take care of me. So my biological grandparents legally adopted me. They are my parents now. I see Birth Mom at least once a week, usually more. She had my little sister, who has not seen her birth father in five of her eight years. Birth Mom is now married and expecting a boy! She is happy, I am happy, Sister is happy, Husband is happy. Everyone around is happy! And God did that. It was all part of his divine plan for my life. And then, he gave me Jinx! Whom, by the way, is my amazing but idiotically stubborn 14.2 Paso Fino QH cross.
I prayed for so long to get a horse. And, last year, I actually did. He is wonderful. Most of the time... He rears, he bites, he makes me chase him for hours when I want to catch him... but I love him. What have I gotten myself into?
Anyways! Back to plans. God has a divine plan for me. He knows more about me that I know about myself. He sent His son, His son, to die for me! Dirty, horse smelling, ratty old me! Because I am a sinner. And the only way for me to ever be with Him, was for His son to die a horrible death, hanging on a cross, nailed to it by His hands and feet. I am forever asking myself why. And I probably won't ever know, at least not until I'm in heaven with the Lord. But His plan is exceptional. Better thought out than any other plan in the universe. He knows exactly what I should do, when I should do it, and He tells me.
Forever listening,
