Is it a sign if you tend to see the same piece of scripture a few times over out of the blue?
I keep seeing Jeremiah 29:11
"'For I know the plans I have made for you', declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future'"
The fact I keep this piece of scripture on my dressing table kinda helps the fact I keep seeing it but I have seen it other than my dressing table, and I'm pretty sure I have heard it once or twice all in the same week. I'm starting to think He's trying to reinforce what He's saying. You know like reassure me or something. Can anyone help me understand this?
I Will Search For You
I will search for You,
How my soul is longing for You,
In this weary land,
I will search for You.
I see you're power and majesty,
You're love is better than life to me,
As long as I live I will praise You,
My soul will be satisfied,
As I lift up my hands towards You,
You're name will be gloryfied.

Simple words to a simple tune. I do like this song. For me, at the minute, the first stanza is where I am and I hope that one day I can sing the second part knowing that I am there with Him. Recently, I feel that the buzz I had from Summer School has naturally gone and it took a long time to go this year. But I'm starting to feel as if it's starting to go completely...I need reinforcement, I need to take the next little step. It was told after having a talk after summer school with a close friend that this would happen and it was described as a Father helping his toddler to walk. That He would hold the toddler's hand so far then take a step away and allow the toddler to take a step on his/her own before the Father took hold again. Is that where I am?
I don't really know where to go from here, so any help would be very much appreciated.

I'm also going to blog about songs. In general, I love to take part in musical activites, whether it be singing or playing. But something crossed my mind recently that I haven't really taken notice of before now.
When I'm singing I have a natural love for it and sometimes (not always I hate to admit) the song. The thing I've noticed that if I'm singing a pop song, so to speak or for a better way of saying it, non-Christian music, I just sing. I have feeling because I love to sing or the song's nice or something but compared to singing certain Christian songs - it's nothing. Recently I've been listening to Hillsong a lot and I started wanting to do what they do. I have a different sort of love/feeling when I sing these songs. And, I don't actually know what's different and why I have a different feeling singing non-secular vocal music. Am I actually praising Him? I dunno where I'm going with this to be honest, I don't know what the aim of this section was. I just thought it'd be something to help me establish where I am.
Anyways, I might go and write another poem if I can find some inspiration.
