Thank You God for encouraging me tonight at Living Word Fellowship via something Dorian said. To my surprise, he had kept something I gave him as encouragement years ago before he left for Marine Corps training. Tonight as we were going around sharing updates and struggles and how we were doing, he flipped open his Bible and shared the Bible verse I had written.

He read outloud this verse to Douglas (a younger brother who's currently struggling through some stuff) from Jeremiah 29:11-14 -- 11 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. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the LORD.

I was moved to tears. I was also really touched when he volunteered to pray for me after I shared. [Arghhh, my eyes have been wet all week] I'm really thankful for the presence of caring (big) brothers (and sisters) in my life.

Stopped by Jack in the Box on my drive home tonight because I was getting a cramp from not having eaten much during dinner. What can I say... didn't really have appetite again. But the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger and curly fries hit the spot, though I felt kinda lightheaded immediately after consumption.

Nothing like driving 75mph on the freeway on a Friday night. Love it. Wish I could do it more often and for longer period of time. I really like driving. I should become a driver.
