“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. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when “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. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

Jeremiah 29:11-14


When I think of you
I remember many things
It’s a bittersweet feeling
but now it’s time to let go.

I remember when we were kids
playing and growing up
unaware and naive

Then our childhood faded away
and we were thrown into the world
When the world’s illusions ended
and only stark reality existed

You were gentle yes
and you meant well
But there were times you didn’t know
the hurt, tears and frustration I felt
Anger that I was hurting inside
but you were okay
My feelings never changed
but yours did

Sometimes the silence is so loud
but I understand
why things are like this

When I think of you
I remember many things
It’s a bittersweet feeling
but now it’s time to let go.
