Scene 1/3

Scene 1

It’s the week of parent-teacher conferences.

It’s the week of parent-teacher conferences. Your mom wants honors classes, your dad wants you to “figure it out,” and your friend group swears you’re going to the same college. Everyone has a plan for you. You have none. What do you actually do?

“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.”

Jeremiah 29:11Plans, not abandonment. The future is held by someone who knows your name.

Open Jeremiah 29:11 and read it once, slowly, before anyone asks again.Pick one real next step this week — not the whole plan, just the next thing.Tell one person, out loud, “I don’t know yet — and that’s okay.”

No wrong answers — this is yours.

Whichever you pick, we’ll walk one more scene before the reflection.
