"For I know well the plans I have in mind for you"

I moved out of my dorm at Xavier the other day. It was kinda sad, but to be honest, I'm glad I'm done with Xavier. I'm on to bigger and better things. I can't wait to start at Steubenville. That's such an amazing place and I'm so excited :) When I was starting to question my decision the other day, Patrick, the youth minister at my church, e-mailed me a Scripture passage. It gave me the confidence to know I made the right decision: "For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare, not for woe! Plans to give you a future full of hope. When you call me, when you go to pray to me, I will listen to you. When you look for me, you will find me. Yes, when you seek me with all your heart ... " - Jeremiah 29: 11-13.

Surgery was 3 weeks ago and I've been left here with my thoughts. I had an impulse to cut last night. That was the first one since John made me pick between him and the blade. I texted him tonight and he responded with some encouragement as well as "Catherine, I want you to pick again. Me or the blade?" Of course I picked John. Renewing the promise to John has made things easier today.
