So I chose this verse because it makes me think about my son, John who will be graduating from Michigan State University next weekend. He is planning to go to law school after graduation. God knows where he'll end up, so for now we'll just wait to see. He could be in Naples, Florida next year this time. I hope he can relax and stay focused on God's plans for his life in the meantime.
I put my verse on the picture of the prayer I found when I was in junior high. It was my plea for God to help me get chosen for the basketball team.
While he waits to see where God wants him next, I'd love for John to learn this song on his graduation gift of a guitar.
Loving this challenge to memorize Scripture!

Glad you chose that one--great verse and great song! I love doing this memory work together. I'm trying to catch up. I wished I could get used to taking a spiral in my purse! Love, Annette
Great verse...I told Annette G and Karen what I am telling you, I am so glad we are in this together, hiding His Word in our hearts...
Love, Annette H
One of the things that I remember about reading this verse during our readings last year was that this was penned during one of Israel's darkest times. God was punishing them for turning away from Him. He had allowed them to be taken into captivity and was very angry with them. Yet in the midst of all of that, He gave them this promise. I remember thinking it was kind of like a "night light" for our darkest nights. That even in the bleakest of times, even a time when He is disappointed or angry, He still has a plan for us, a plan to give us hope. Amen to that!
enjoy the weekend!
love,

Love this one too and pray it over/for my children.
Congrats to John on his graduation from MSU! My kids are alumni.
