So I am not sure why I was so hesitant to start a blog. I've lived this "story" and I don't always find it very interesting :) But I kept feeling that tug from God, and yesterday was the day. I couldn't decide on a name for the blog, but then I thought of one of my favorite verses, Jeremiah 29:11. "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 hope and a future." That has been my life verse for quite a while, as I had to put full trust in the fact that, through all of my illness and hardship, God had a bigger plan. So I named the blog God's plans, not mine.
As I was rolling around in bed last night, wide awake, I decided to read my "Jesus Calling" devotion book. If you do not have one, it is a must-have. It is my favorite devotional and always seems to speak to me. I opened it up to the date, June 18th and I was blown away. There was my validity from God. The verse on the page was Jeremiah 29:11 and the opening sentence was: "You are my beloved child. I chose you before the foundation of the world, to walk with me along paths designed uniquely for you." I felt like reading this was a little wink and a nod from God. Validity. Though my paths have not been ones I would have chosen for myself, they were designed uniquely for me and with a purpose.
Tomorrow I will explain more about my EDS, but today I wanted to share this awesome God moment with you! Have a wonderful day and watch for God's little winks and nods.
