Part of marriage (or any relationship for that matter) is understanding that your spouse is not always going to be running at full capacity. Life hits us each a little differently and usually when one of you is weak, the other is strong. But sometimes both of you will be feeling weak, and that's ok, [...]
Category: Thankfulness
I WILL Give Thanks
Is it possible to be GRATEFUL and DISAPPOINTED at the same time? Is it possible to feel THANKFUL and SAD? Sure it is. We are complex beings with complex inner workings created by a magnificent God. On a day like Thanksgiving you may be tempted to feel shame if you are not all exuberant with [...]
Mining for Gratitude
Frustrations are usually surface level…it doesn’t take much effort to point them out and to even vent about them to others. I was extremely frustrated by something going on in my world yesterday. Even vented to my hubby about it and of course because he loves me he assured me that I was justified in [...]
JOY is God’s Powerful Prescription for You!
Ever been at a hard place in your life and felt guilty for momentarily feeling joy and happiness because of this one huge thing you are still grieving? Me, too. To be honest, some days I'm still there. And you know what? That's okay. Grief often comes in waves and when they no longer hit [...]
How to BE where you are

It Takes Faith to Reap!
Jesus spoke much about farming and sowing seeds. After all, the people He was teaching were farmers. It was a concept they understood perfectly. It was their life. The rhythm of their days, nights, and seasons revolved around seedtime and harvest. In Mark 4:26-29, it says, "And He was saying, "The kingdom of God is [...]
God Bless America!
Happy Independence Day! May God never cease to bless our great nation and shed His grace upon us! May we never cease to raise our voices in prayer, humbly asking Him to heal the wounds only His love and power can heal. Be Blessed, Jenny #independenceday #America #Godsgrace #4thofJuly
Christmas Miracles!
I believe in CHRISTmas miracles! I believe in EVERYDAY miracles, too! If we acknowledge CHRIST everyday and seek to find it, we can see the very power of God at work in our lives. Miracles are not always supernatural. They are every little thing we have been blessed with, every new day we are alive [...]
