God's promise in Jeremiah 29:11For 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  I stayed home from church again this evening after a long, long day with a fussy baby, bickering children, dashed plans and general confusion, feeling a little like Cinderella with no time to get ready for the ball. Seeing that Cindy Rushton had a radio show available online about the Proverbs 31 woman, I thought it might do to fill in for the sermon I was once again missing. This verse, part of her great message, is one very familiar to me, as it may be to many of you. Tonight, however, I heard The Message Bible's version of it for the first time. "... I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for." ~Jeremiah 29:11 How that version touched my heart! He will take care of me (no one's ever done that before!). . . He will bring me home (home is my greatest longing!). . . He knows what He's doing (thank goodness, because sometimes I wondered) . . . He has it all planned out (you mean, I don't have to manage everything myself?) . . . and to give me the future I hope for (though sometimes it looks so impossible . . .)

 Misty Krasawski is the overly-blessed mom of eight children whom she homeschools in sunshine-y Florida. She has been clinging ferociously to the hand of her Lord since she was knee-high to a grasshopper, homeschooling for the past thirteen years, and has eighteen more years ahead of her with the children who are glad she will have done most of her experimenting on those who went before. Her wonderful husband Rob has much treasure laid up for him in heaven for having been called to such a daunting task.
