a different way

"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." Jeremiah 29:11

It's graduation time; and no matter what the graduation level is, ceremonies and events are different. Unable to proceed with the "normal" festivities, we have found new ways to celebrate... zoom gatherings, drive-bys, yard signs, billboards, banners, streaming events and more.

While blindsided by the unexpected changes, trusting and knowing God is still in control has helped us accept our current situation and adjust.  His Word also brings sweet assurance that His plans for us will not be thwarted.  We can trust His purpose for our life will be fulfilled  because of His unending love for us. With that promise alone, we have every reason to celebrate each moment and milestone in our life with confidence and joy.

Father, thank You for loving us.  You know us by name and have a place and plan for each of us. You have engraved us on the palms of Your Hands.  Because we are Your treasured possessions and precious in Your sight, we can sing praises, dance and celebrate on special occasions even if our audience has been reduced to just One... because You are enough.

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live like we believe it,
