# 6 on the Top 10 List of scripture

Jeremiah 29:11 (nlt)
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord . "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

Lets go on a trip. In just a few weeks, my family and some friends will enjoy some peaceful time on the beach. The wind blowing off the ocean...the gentle noise of the waves coming in...plenty of sun...and more.

Just thinking about that trip gets us excited and keeps us pressing on toward it. This is an annual thing we love. Memories for the family and time together are important.

This verse is a memory like that one. Yet, this one comes straight from God. He set it in motion. He carries is out. I am not in control and really have little to do with it. All I am in for is believing God. It's that simple.

The trip we are on together is a journey of faith, if we let it be. Some people have chosen a crash pace and road of stress, pain, heartache and worries. That is not God's intention for His kids, for us. His best for us is just as this Top 10 verse says.

His way is for great days and great plans. We have hope that will tear a part fear and worries. Do we believe what God says?

Take that journey. Believe God. Some pretty cool things will come of it. Why? Because God has plans for you!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
