God knows your plans! You don’t have to worry.
Jeremiah 29:11(NIV) says
“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.”
The Word on the Street says
“D’you think I’ve lost the plans I drew up for your lives?’ Asks God. ‘that they’ve fallen down the back of my desk, or got snarled up in heaven’s red tape? No, they’re open, on my desk, permanent. They’re plans to do you good, not to pull you down. Plans that’ll be worth waiting to see in 3D.”
So don’t worry as Matthew 6:25 says
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.”
and finally you should rejoice when life is ruff! Think of when Paul and Silas were in prison (Acts 16:25) They sang! And listen to Jame’s advice
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds”
(James 1:2)
or listen to “the Word on the Street’s” Paraphrase
“A hundred types of hassle? Then change your attitude: think of them as an exhilarating roller-coaster ride. Enjoy it. What?! See, hassles build stamina and stamina stays the distance. End product: you’re the genuine article, finished and polished, batteries included. So enjoy the hassles.”
And why not? Think of yourself as a work in progress. You’re still in beta. Your a rough draft and God is editing you. The typos and errors are getting erased, it may be hard but in the end it makes you a better product, a better paper. So enjoy life, persevere and don’t worry!
“You make everything glorious. And I am Yours. What does that make me“
-David Crowder Band-
What does that make you? I’ll tell you! It makes you Glorious. So don’t ever doubt it.

i like how you got God has a plan for you from the camping, i got something different. but still its all true! there was a verse in there that i really liked! i’m going to write it down and hang it in my room.! it was something about don’t worry about what to eat or drink, about your body, or what you’ll wear. i am so guilty of doing that. i think we all are. but i want to be happy no matter what and i want to be content with what God has given me. do you ever struggle with not liking what you have? just a thought…

ummm yes I do struggle with that. Not often but sometimes. Usually though a few minutes later I think, well I least I have that, some kids aren’t even that lucky, so what if mine isn’t as good.
