God has Good Plans for You
In a previous post I shared about how Israel was sent to captivity by God for refusing to obey him. But God didn’t give up on Israel. God promises his people that when the seventy years are over (70 years was the years Babylon would rule) he would “visit” them, and give them his good […]

When God Ruins Your Plans
When God Ruins Your Plans (or Life) Matthew 1:18-25 God has “ruined my plans” or “God ruined our whole family…” as Aggie’s Dad said to her about his missionary experience where his 27 year old wife died. See video below. Yes, God does ruin our plans. Often. He has in my life. But His plans […]
