Jeremiah 29:11

I saw a magnet on the fridge of Mary (Jesus' Mom) with a bunch of children on their knees, raising their arms in praise. That got me thinking- Catholics think very highly of Mary, and I don't blame them. Mary submitted to God's task and plan for her life. She did God's will. Mary is in heaven- not as God, not as an angel, but as a sinner who was saved. Just like the rest of us.

Myself, and you, and others- we can all do the same. Maybe we can't carry the savior of the world in our womb, but start small- God also has plans for us, and we can follow his will and accomplish much for the kingdom of God.

Jeremiah 29:11

11 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.
