Discover the captivating journey of faith and discovery in this post. Read about
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." ​Jeremiah 29:11
​In a world filled with distractions and noise, it's easy for children to lose sight of the loving plan God has for each of them. But amidst the chaos, there is a beacon of hope shining brightly through the pages of Jennifer Bosma's children's book, "I Know the Plans."

This delightful book, available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, weaves together the promises of God in a captivating rhyme, making Scripture accessible and engaging for young hearts. From the very first page, children are drawn into a world where they are cherished and guided by a loving Creator.

​
But it's not just the captivating words and illustrations that make this book special. It's the message of hope and encouragement that resonates throughout its pages. Through the words of Psalm 119:105, children are reminded that God's Word is a lamp to guide their steps, even in the darkest of times.
​"Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Psalm 119:105

"These beautiful words and bright, colorful art will take your child on a journey from start to finish as they begin to learn the importance of seeking the Lord all the days of their life." —Kaitlyn Odom Fiedler, Blogger at A Beautiful Belonging, Author of What Now?

It’s so important to start young in our teaching about God’s sovereignty!

Planting seeds of faith is a theme that should be resonating with every one of us, Jerralea!! It's amazing how things like this can pop up multiple times in our day when we least expect it. Makes one wonder if God isn't trying to tell us something—I'm sure He is! Keep nurturing those seeds, friend, and may they grow into beautiful expressions of faith in your life and the lives of those around you!
