A few days ago, I e-mailed a group of friends about what was going on concerning my brother. Monday, Sarah, one of the ladies, responded and included the scripture Jeremiah 29:11. I had been dealing with some issues and that scripture spoke encouragement to me about my situation. It wasn't until latter that night that I caught the true awesomeness of it all. As I was reading the email to my mom, I was reminded of something she had shared with me before he got locked up.
My mom had been at my house babysitting Dylan not too long after she found out that he was going to be going to prison. That night when she told me about it, she shared how God had encouraged her.
She had been sitting at my computer and her eyes fell on one of the message cards I have sitting there . It is a cross with a scripture written on it. The verse, of course, is Jeremiah 29:11! I did not catch it that Sarah had written the very same verse in response to my praise/prayer for my brother as God had used to encourage my mom. She had no idea about the verse with my mother. God never ceases to amaze me. He is so awesome!
