There is more

So I have had a kind of weird day, just dealing with some personal issues that I really need to sort out. All morning I have been praying that God will bring me out of my "funk" and make me the happy, smiley person I usually am. Every Thursday at lunch time the International Operations Center (IOC) has a community meeting which is basically a staff meeting that we must attend. With each of these meetings there is of course a devotional and prayers. One of today's scriptures was Jeremiah 29:11, which some of you may know is one of my favorites. I use it often and have really leaned on it for the past couple years. For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. -Jeremiah 29:11 But what I have lacked to do is realize that there is more. If you read on it says: Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. -Jeremiah 29:12-13. This in itself is an answered prayer. God does have mighty plans for me and has already put these plans into motion, but He also knew that with these plans old hurts and troubles would arise. I pray to Him and He listens ... He listens! He cares so much for me that when I am having a bad day, he  listens to my rambling and whining. How great is our Father?
