Valentine, Oh Valentine


For most of my Single Friends this day feels like a kick in the face.  
A clear reminder that once again they are SINGLE!
But lets look at it from God's eyes!
Everyone of us are his VALENTINES,
His Loves,
His treasures,
His Prize Possessions.

How Precious that his love is not just shown to us on Valentines but everyday of the week.  Even we are at our lowest or highest hes still in love with us.  Gods love grows for his children like we can not even see!
 
As I sit here, I could just hear the Lord singing to be his VERSION of You are my Sunshine.
You are My Valentine, My Sweet Valentine
You make me Happy when skies are Gray,
You'll never know Valentine 
how much I LOVE YOU!
So keep your eyes steady on the Lord!

Sweet Single Friends
Smile Today
Treasure Today
Love Today
Cherish Today
Be Postitive Today
Brighten Someone Elses Day!
Remember YOUR VALENTINE!
 
Happy Valentine's Day!

Wobbles in Life

For those of you who know me I love nothing more than to have a Good time and to dance!  During our Young Singles Retreat I had one of those embarrassing moments and Prideful lessons. We got on stage to dance to the Wobble. (Side note don't try to wobble in Cowboy boots!) Well, a sweet friend turned to me and said, Jenn, I can go lower than you!  Well, this buddy might be younger than me!   Of course I accepted the challenge as I started to go low, my foot got caught on a bunch of cords, to where I fell backwards! It was  TRULY one of my most Embarrassing moments.  Don't worry I stood back up and finished the Wobble.  So I started thinking about in our walk with the Lord, How many times do we wobble?

What does the word wobble mean?
to tilt shift
change position
move unsteadily

This got me to thinking about how many times I have wobbled with my relationship with the Lord.  For example, walking with the Lord and praying so hard about something to see God closed the door or not being  answering the way I wanted so I might have wobbled to not being so close to the Lord.

When you are having a Wobble moment what do you do?
  • Cling to Scripture
He only is my rock and my salvation:  he is my defence;  I shall not be moved."
(Psalm 62:6)

"I WILL love thee, O LORD, my strength.  The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower."
(Psalm 18:1  -  2) 
  • Pray! Pray! Pray!
  • Have an accountability partner to walk through the Wobble moments in life!
  • Journal- So on the flip side you can see how God moves through your WOBBLE moment!
  •  Standing on the Promises,
  • Jenn   

 

A Journal to Love

My Precious Friend, Meg gave us the Perfect gifts for being in her wedding!  Well, I will only share one product at a time!  She got us a journal from www.papersunday.com.  You can choose from several journal styles online.  Then on the bottom of every page their is a scripture in which they plug your name into.  This has truly made the scriptures come more alive in my life, and I have been soaking up the scripture.  
If you are looking ahead for Gift ideas for a birthday, Mother's Day, Graduation Day and etc, these are truly the perfect gifts.  

Now, I want to journal all the time because I love seeing what scripture I will read as I journal!  
Remember you dont have to journal very long, you are just capturing your feelings and thoughts!  My journal has become my Prayer Journal where I write down my Praises/Blessings and then my prayer requests!


Loving to Journal,
Jenn

This I Know

  • In times of brokenness- God is there
  •  When I don't understand- God is at work
  • Through grief and tears- God is holding us in the palm of his hand
  • When I do not know how to pray- the Holy Spirit will guide me
  • My heart is heavy and just numb- God will heal
God is AT WORK
 
 
As many of you know my family has lost an amazing man. 
Check out my last blog- My Hero-dedicated to my Cousin Bill
My heart has truly been ripped apart and it hurts for my precious family.
I thought losing my dad at 19 was so tough, but for my sweet little cousins to have to loose their Dad at such an early age it just breaks me.
So, I go back to the basis of This I know- God is AT WORK, and he will lead our family every step of the way.  

All he asks of me is to come before him and HE will Supply ALL my needs.
So in the midst of this time I am seeking and running as fast as I can to the Lord:
 Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.

This I know-
He's Got Us
and WILL NEVER LET GO!

God Bless,
Jenn
