                         Power of Prayer
Recently I ran into a friend that for 2 years we prayed hard, faithfully, and trusting God with one of her deepest desires. I can still remember the day she told me her "Miracle" had been answered. It was a hard journey for her but in the end it was the biggest blessing she has ever received. 

Sometimes I get impatient or frustrated when I don't see my " miracle" being answered. It's hard to understand it, but God is faithfully! He reminds me on hard days of other peoples stories and all the prayers he has answered me. So if you are feeling frustrated with your request not being answered cling to The Lord, read his word, be still in his presence, and just worship him!
He's got the perfect plan for you, you just have to trust, dig in and watch the Lord work!  
        Believing, Expecting, and Trusting,

The Question
Over the last few months God has been asking me the question Jenn, do you trust me? Well I started Really diving into the Word studying about faith, trust, obedience, and being still in front of The Lord.  During this time I've been learning about myself which has not been easy. God has been beyond faithful to put amazing women in my life to cheer me on. Over the last few weeks God has shown me that he has my best in his hands. I just have to let go and follow him. Recently one of my prayer warriors sent me a book! The title intrigued me so I wrapped up the book and started this one.
This book gave me questions to sit back and reflect on! I journaled so many thought I had from reading this book and saw different stories from the bible come alive! My prayer life has increased and I'm beyond excited to see God work in my life. Recently God showed me something that I prayed for a very long time for web he closed the door. I just didn't understand why God said no,until the other day. I've been in totally awe and  thankful that God has written my story. He's just asking me to trust him! 
Keep trusting in him,
Jenn

Healthy Cooking

New Recipe - Check
Tonight I turned by oven on 350 and placed the spaghetti squash to cook for and 1 hour and a half.  When there was 20 minutes left I got out the jar of Sprouts spaghetti sauce, tossed in fresh mushrooms, garlic powder, and a little pepper. 
Then I stirred it and waited for the  oven timer to ding.  I then cut the spaghetti squash in half and scraped out the seeds. 
Next. I smashed up the spaghetti squash in a large bowl splashing some fat free butter spray and pepper!
I poured the sauce and mushrooms on top of the squash!!  
It tasted DELISH!!

Excited about lunch tomorrow,
Jenn

                    A Sweet Reminder
                       My Aha moment 
Have you ever read a verse over and over? Have you ever felt a huge hit on the head as your reading a scripture? One of my favorite verses in Ps 37:4 Delight in The Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart! Well this morning I read Psalms 37:3 Trust in The Lord and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
How many times does God send us reminders in his Word by telling us to Trust him. If I'm truly honest sometimes I say I'm trusting God, but then I try to take control. But The Lord is teaching me everyday about letting Go of my Control and trusting God. If we read deeper and dig in Ps 37:7 Be still before The Lord and wait patiently for him.
Today I was reminded to be Patient, Cling to God's Word, to keep trusting, and spend time with God!!!

         Remember what ever you are going through you are not alone!
Just keep trusting,
Jenn

Another Good Read...

I ran across this book on a shelf, and it intrigued me! I truly learned a lesson from each chapter. I felt so refreshed by reading Sheila's book! I could not put down this book! It's a very easy read. If you are a Woman who tries to do it all and feels weary or tired this is a Great read.
