Episode 19 What Are Your Plans?

What are your plans? This question may sound like a trick question, but it's not. I am so very guilty of having a laundry list of plans that I hadn't consulted with God about. In this episode, I am just reminding us that it ALL starts with God. Therefore, we must give our plans to Him.

For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels - everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. Colossians 1:16 MSG

For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 AMP

Episode 18 Psalms 42-47

Episode 17 WRITE!

Habbakuk 2:2 Write the vison, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

Here are a few reasons to write:

1. Write to communicate with others and to create and maintain relationships
2. To speak to yourself 
3. To preserve your family's history 
4. Write as therapy to get things off your chest
5. To rest 

Message that God shared with me during my quiet time to share with you:

WRITING IS GOING TO SAVE YOUR LIFE!!!

Episode 16 Psalms 36-41
