I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.” ( AC)ġ5 You may say, “The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,” 16 but this is what the Lord says about the king who sits on David’s throne and all the people who remain in this city, your fellow citizens who did not go with you into exile- 17 yes, this is what the Lord Almighty says: “I will send the sword, famine and plague ( AD) against them and I will make them like figs ( AE) that are so bad they cannot be eaten. ( AA) 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back ( AB) from captivity. 13 You will seek ( Z) me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. ( V) 12 Then you will call ( W) on me and come and pray ( X) to me, and I will listen ( Y) to you. 11 For I know the plans ( T) I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper ( U) you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. I have not sent ( O) them,” declares the Lord.ġ0 This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years ( P) are completed for Babylon, I will come to you ( Q) and fulfill my good promise ( R) to bring you back ( S) to this place. ( M) 9 They are prophesying lies ( N) to you in my name. Do not listen to the dreams ( L) you encourage them to have. Pray ( I) to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” 8 Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let the prophets ( J) and diviners among you deceive ( K) you. ( G) 7 Also, seek ( H) the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Increase in number there do not decrease. 6 Marry and have sons and daughters find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Put simply, when we walk with God, our lives will be full of joy and thoughts of peace.4 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried ( E) into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 “Build ( F) houses and settle down plant gardens and eat what they produce. “The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way” ( Psalm 37:23). ![]() We should always trust in Him to lead us down the right path. ![]() This verse is telling us we can’t even comprehend the amazing things God has in store for us. “But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9). That’s why some of us refer to our professions as a “calling.” It’s a call to fulfill God’s devotional purpose for us. When you love God, He will call you to His purpose. “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” ( Romans 8:28). No matter how extravagant our plans may seem, God is in control because His purposes always prevail. Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails” ( Proverbs 19:20-21). “Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end, you will be counted among the wise. Some of our favorite Bible verses include: While Jeremiah 29:11 is the most popular verse when talking about God’s plans for us, plenty of other verses share similar messages. It's important to have cross-references when referring to the Bible to further enrich our understanding and study of God’s word. Even though some things may seem horrible or troubling for us at the time, we must have faith that God’s plan for us is what’s best. He knows everything that will or won’t happen to us. He merely told them that even though it’s hard right now, they must have faith. He wasn’t saying He’d swoop down and make everything easy for them. The people were asked to do the impossible, and it makes sense if they were hesitant at first.īy saying, “I know the plans I have for you,” God was reassuring the people that their faith in Him would be rewarded. Additionally, the city was in enemy Babylonian territory, which didn’t make things any easier. God tasked Jeremiah with delivering a message that God’s people would have to live and prosper for 70 years in a city that wasn't theirs. During this period, there were many emotional and physical stressors affecting God's followers. There, they are now under the enemy's control. When Jeremiah speaks, he is addressing his fellow Jerusalemites who were sent into exile in Babylon. ![]()

![]() She has grown decently taller since childhood, though she stands at a pretty average height for a young woman. However, She would also wear various styled dresses with coats instead.Īs a teen/young adult, Shōko has grown her hair out a considerable amount, now being about chest-length. ![]() Shōko’s most common outfit was a light pink t-shirt, plaid yellow skirt, and sneakers. Her head also appears slightly more round than her future self. She is of average height and weight for her age, being almost as tall as Shōya Ishida during this time. Noticeably, Shōko’s hair tends to obscure her ears from view when not tied into a ponytail or bun, possibly a visual choice to indicate how open she feels to the world compared to others.Īt twelve years old, Shōko wore her hair in a bob style while keeping her natural bangs. Her eyes are round, with large brown irises that give her a welcoming look. Shōko has straight, dusty rose colored hair that she wears in various styles and lengths throughout the series. The culmination of her growth is shown in her choice to move to Tokyo after graduating, finally looking forward to her own dream of becoming a hairdresser, which was partly inspired by her childhood encounter with Miyako Ishida (Shōya's mother) at her salon. After assuming this more realistic and proactive mindset, she finds greater success enriching the lives of the people around her, finally achieving her desire to be a source of strength for others. After being saved from her lowest point, Shōko chooses to confront her negative feelings and starts accepting the value in her own life even with its imperfections. It is through her growing friendship with Shōya that Shōko embraces more of herself and starts to express her emotions more openly, revealing moments of anger, sadness, and genuine happiness. ![]() This quality explains her sixth grade desire to be friends with the tactless but honest Shōya, and it is part of her reason for associating with Naoka Ueno in adulthood. However, she tends to lack confidence in her own judgments of social situations, which causes her to highly value others' honesty, even when that honesty is harsh. Contrary to most people's expectations, she is rather analytical and perceptive, and she is usually quick to discern the content and subtext of conversations even when they are not signed to her. Although her disability makes certain parts of her life difficult, Shōko never feels the need to be pitied or treated specially.īeing a visually focused person by necessity, Shōko has a fondness for visual metaphor and symbolism, as exemplified by her feelings toward her sixth grade notebook, her affection for Madagascar periwinkles in the language of flowers, and various other actions over the course of the story. She also expresses a caring and nurturing side, as seen when she tells Shōya that it makes her happy to give others what they need. However, these negative feelings are usually hidden beneath the more obvious positive parts of her personality.Īt her core, Shōko is a kind and compassionate person who is rather easygoing and she is shown to be very patient and forgiving, even to her former bully Shōya, whose friendship she earnestly accepts when years later he expresses regret at mistreating and failing to understand her. Due to her lack of confidence in her own perceptions and desire not to be a burden, she struggles with avoidant behaviors, which ultimately exacerbate her feelings of guilt and inadequacy. ![]() She is plagued by guilt over what she sees as her own role in the dysfunctional situations of her past, including both her school and family life, and she has developed a tendency to blame herself when things go wrong even when she alone is negatively affected. Her hope of making friends was symbolized to her by the communication notebook she brought to Takeuchi's class, and she temporarily gave up this wish after Shōya Ishida tossed this book into the school’s pond.Īfter facing isolation of both external and self-imposed varieties for many years of her life, Shōko has become a melancholic and self-loathing person in her late teens. ![]() However, due to difficulties in communication, she was often met with misunderstanding, disinterest, or bullying. In her youth, Shōko had a strong desire to connect with people around her. ![]() ![]() Choose one, and there's always someone even better just around the corner. The #1 Rule of Dating is, “Find the best possible partner.” However, very attractive women often cannot do that because there are too many men to choose from. Thus, for all that very attractive women have, the one thing they often lack is a sense of contentment with their partner selection. Sometimes the search for someone better ends only when age begins to take its toll and her beauty starts to fade. ![]() That belief is quite prevalent in beautiful women, and it is one of the factors underlying the beautiful woman syndrome. And on and on.įueling this quest for an even better partner is a conviction that she deserves the best, that nothing is too good for her, because she is beautiful. ![]() If she held out for a year and then had over 100,000 potential suitors, she could likely find an “even better” man. No matter whom she chooses from that group of 700 respondents, it is statistically inevitable that by expanding the pool-say, to 10,000 men-that she could find one who is more attractive, more intelligent, more interesting, and richer, to boot. Things are different for the stop-and-stare women who have their pick of the litter. With a limited selection pool, that next partner might be better. Statistically, that person isn't going to have the luxury of choosing from thousands of potential mates. A different partner, sure, but a better one? More attractive? More successful? More intelligent, interesting, kind, generous, thoughtful, and attentive? Maybe, but maybe not. If an average person dumped his or her partner hoping to get a better match, that hope might not be realized. Even if things go swimmingly, she wouldn't be human if she never considered dating someone else. In that pool of 700 men, some are bound to be attractive, intelligent, and interesting millionaires who are nice guys that share many of her interests. Let's say that the hottie posted her profile on one site only and removed it after receiving 700 responses the first week (based on a true story, by the way). Skeptical? Do the math and analyze the statistics yourself. Once she chooses someone, she can still be tormented by the fact that she could have obtained a more desirable man by waiting. She knows that, too, unless she has the IQ of a rubber plant. Someone who might have been her ideal match could easily be overlooked in that mountain of replies. Even if that gorgeous woman did nothing but eat, sleep, and participate in online dating, she could not possibly read all of her messages and engage in the sort of dialogue that is essential for choosing the best possible partner. Isn't that an enviable position to be in? ![]() If the fox posts her profile on a few different sites, as many people do, she could be inundated with 10,000 men per month who ardently wish to meet her. Such women can receive upwards of 600 responses per week per site. Consider the anguish experienced by very attractive women who place personal ads on Internet dating sites. That seems odd, doesn't it? Isn't it preferable to have more choices, so one can select the best possible match? Some choice is indeed good, but too much choice is not. This phenomenon also applies to partner selection. Professor Barry Schwartz wrote a must-read book ( The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less) in which he showed that more choice can paradoxically lead to more anxiety, more confusion, more self-doubt, more buyer's remorse, and ultimately less happiness and satisfaction that the choice was the right choice. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hybrids have been developed with foliage colors ranging from greenish-yellow to the deepest shades of red. ![]() These tough little plants barely grow a foot tall, but their stunning red flowers and easy to grow nature make them a great container plant for indoors. Repot your plant in the spring every year to prevent it from becoming root-bound. Shade plants from the hot afternoon sun, keep the potting soil moist at all times but do not overwater it, and mist the leaves occasionally. The large papery flowers on a hibiscus may only last for a day or two before they drop, but when cared for properly your plant will bloom in succession from spring through autumn. Typically grown outdoors, hibiscus plants make a great addition to a sunny windowsill, so are an essential addition to my list of houseplants with red flowers. Place filtered or distilled water in the central cup of the plant, replacing it frequently with clean water to prevent fungal growth. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorching and keep the potting soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Plants prefer indirect light conditions because of their origin in the rainforest, growing attached to trees. Leaves are thin and dark green striking red bracts grow in a spike-type inflorescence from the center of the plant. A type of bromeliad, Guzmania is known as a prized, easy to care for, houseplant outside of its native South America and are grown for their showy flower displays. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are some cozy ways to make any fireplace the room's focal point.

(If you’re going to make a game about angry birds that attack, why incorporate a slingshot to get them aloft? THEY’RE BIRDS.) But it makes about as much sense as a game about a chomping circle with a mouth that exists to eat tinier circles while being chased around in a maze by ghosts. (According to this report, the egg-stealing narrative was added by the game’s developers after initial game-testers found the birds’ unmotivated attacks on the pigs to be too disturbing.) In response, the angry birds attack makeshift fortresses and other edifices erected by the pigs, launching themselves via a giant slingshot. Pigs have stolen their eggs, for some reason. ![]() If you’re not familiar with Angry Birds the game - i.e., if you are an infant, or you’re Amish - it’s about birds who are angry. But it’s not surprising given how the game’s “meaning” has long inspired a number of disparate political interpretations - and given a current climate in which every popular distraction, no matter how literally meaningless, must now be imbued with a story. The willingness of people to overlay a political agenda on Angry Birds is surprising if you’ve ever played the game, which is, at its essence, a bleeping, blorping pile of narrative nonsense. Angry Birds, wrote Tom Bissell, is a game that’s “great and infernal, and about which no one needs to write or say another word.” He wrote that back in 2011, fully five years before Angry Birds, the feature-length animated movie, arrived in theaters today, and long before that movie’s two-and-a-half-minute trailer launched a particularly insane (even for the internet) racist conspiracy theory. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() How Do They Work?Ī remote access software, as the name suggests, works by means of a special software.
