It's almost 2010...that's weird to think about! This year will be 20 years since I graduated from high school. When I was a senior back in 1990, the last thing I was thinking about was where I would be in 20 years. Little did I know that I would be in Waco, TX. Frankly, I'm glad I'm here.
Where do you think you'll be in 20 years? Ever thought about it? Ever pondered where you would be 20 years from this moment? Ever wondered what God has in store for you five years from now? Ten years?
You may think you know but really, you don't. What we have are dreams, wishes, hopes, desires, goals. That's it. We may think we control our own destiny but in reality it's God's plan. Now, granted we can try to change it, but that usually ends badly. Trust me on that. What we have to do is trust God. We have to believe that he is and will always be in control of our presents and our futures.
Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." NIV
Let me give you a challenge for the coming year. Instead of focusing on your dreams, focus on seeking what God's dreams for you are. Pray sincerely about it every day. Then, have the courage to look for, see, hear and act on the answer you get.

Fall Retreat Day 2
We arrived last night about 9:00 pm. We had a quick devotional and then sent everyone to their cabins. Thankfully the cabins have heat, but they had to work hard to provide comfort last night! It was cold!
Day 2 started off with a great breakfast thanks to Amy and Janet. We've had two great times of study and some free time. Now we're waiting on lunch then time for more Bible study.
