‘I always wanted to be married and a mother. Jeremiah 29.11 means the most to me. It says, “’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.’” I got married a couple of times, and if I had stayed focused on this verse, being single would have been OK. I did things in my own strength. I was striving to find a partner. I wish someone had told me earlier as a young woman, that whatever God’s plan is, that is the best plan. I was always going with plans B, C and D. I wanted to be married for a sense of belonging and being loved. My Dad provided for me, but he never said, “You’re beautiful. I’m proud of you,” and I longed to hear that. I wanted to be beautiful and loved by someone. It took many years of heartache to fully know that God loves me unconditionally and I am beautiful in His eyes and that is what is most important. When I met my husband, I knew that God had put us together, that he was the man that God had chosen for me. I look back on this verse and I can see that God was trying to show me all those years that his plan for me was the best plan.’
