I'm in Training

YES, Im in training again, but its not just workout training, I'm in Righteous Training. I am determined to be the Woman that God has called me to be, it is hard, but I am a work in Progress~

This past summer, I got to hang out with my Precious Mentor Penny Franklin! Since I was a little girl I have looked up to Penny. Her testimony is not only Powerful but she is a TRUE light in this World! She is a wealth of knowledge and one of those ladies that you can just pour your heart out to, and receive Godly wisdom! This summer she shared with me a scripture and a life lesson that I have taken to heart.

Here we go:

2 Timothy 3: 16

All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be throughly equipped for every good work.

During our chat Penny shared with me that while I'm waiting for the Lord to reveal his plan for my life, that I was in righteous training. The Lord is preparing and teaching us how to deal with certain situations by his WORD. Everytime I read a scripture now if it is a verse that will help me in the future by being a Godly woman, wife or mother one day, I want to be equipped, I write and RT in my bible. Since I started this journey, the Lord has shown me so many verses and will remind me of them as I am going through my day!

Will you join me in righteous training??

Blessings,

Steadfast Love

It seems lately that everything I read I always end up reading about God's steadfast love. When I looked up the phrase Steadfast love in the Blue letter bible it is in 193 verses. The other morning I started pondering about what does steadfast mean.

I went to the dictionary and the results were:

fixed or unchanging;steady

firmly loyal or constant, unswerving

Now I know that God is really wanting me to apply this definition in my own life. Then the Lord showed me how I act when I get stressed out, or things don't go the way I plan, or maybe I just want to pout about the cards that have been dealt. But how AWESOME is it that God does not change when we mess up but the loves us even more. I think the Song I will Praise you in this Storm, could not be more Perfect! If instead of getting distracted we need to look to the Lord and learn to walk in steadfast love, one day at a time. Will you join me this week in walking in Steadfast love???

God Bless,

Jenn

I enjoy the life that God has given me and I am going to try to not rush the time away.. But to enjoy!!

Life Lately....

Well, today is 2 weeks since I got my new ride! I got a GMC Terrain from Wright Motor Co in Lufkin. If you are shopping for a vehicle go see them! They will not lead you wrong! I am so grateful for Austin for finding the exact color(mocha) and model of the Terrain I wanted. Also, to the different sales peeps(Rob and Jordan) that taught me the ins and outs of my new ride!!

There are so many things I love about my SUV. One of my favorite things is the gas mileage and it rides so smooth! Last weekend we took the new ride on a road trip to Tulsa for Val's wedding! We had 5 girls in the car with plenty of room with all of our bags! I love having On-star, we got so spoiled to calling and asking them for restaurant choices. They always gave us AWESOME places to eat at!

Well my family is going to be on a different Journey.... As many of you know my Uncle Robert has Krohns disease, he has had it for years. Well his wife my Precious Aunt has been diagnosed with Colon Cancer. We found out a two weeks ago and I have to admit that at first I was just mad that she has to go through this and then my heart just broke for my aunt and uncle.

During times like these you go through different emotions and I can not tell you the peace the Lord has given me as we all have waited for the results if the Cancer had spread.. and PRAISE the LORD it has not. On Thursday she will start her Journey with the Chemo every week day for five weeks.. Then Aunt Nan will have surgery. Please be in prayer for her and my Uncle as they go back and forth to Houston for treatments and for the financially cost of all these treatments.

Have you ever wondered why God shuts a door and you don't know why. I have to start this story by telling you in August the Lord clearly told me that I did not need to be a table group leader and of course I fought it... Telling God that my girls were Seniors and Etc.... And little did I know that the reason I needed to be able to be in Lufkin more to help my family through this journey! Ive loved being able to go home more and just getting to spend time with my family!

God Bless,

Jenn
