“If you can worry, you can meditate.” As we meditate more on God’s Word, may we all radiate more with the mind, heart, and attitude of Christ.
Wednesday Word – Meditate
Am I Desensitized?
We will never become more sensitive to the Holy Spirit while soaking and scrolling in the secular that seduces and desensitizes us to discernment and the Voice of our Good Shepherd.
Long-suffering – who wants to do this?
Long-suffering - who wants to do this? Yet, long-suffering (or patient endurance) is a characteristic of those overflowing with the fruit of the Holy Spirit. No long-suffering required when we choose to cut people out of our lives. "I'm done" is the mindset of many. I personally get this and I too have been "done,"... Continue Reading →
Am I Overcoming with Joy through Praise and Worship?
Living as a victorious and joyful overcoming one this side of heaven will require us to keep moving by the Spirit and keep shouting God’s praises in the face of obstacles and opposition.
Overcoming Pain — Pray, Pray, Pray!
If someone attacks your character, overcome evil with good. Forgive them and pray for them. Keep surrendering to God's Spirit so that more of the fruit of His Spirit ~ love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control ~ continually grow in you and overflow through you. If someone attacks your heart motives... Continue Reading →
How do I overcome the joy killer of self-pity?
As Christians, we must remember we cannot be pitiful and powerful at the same time.
You are Loved
God’s love never ends. God’s love never fails. Live empowered by His love and you will forever prevail.
It’s Your Choice
We cannot be pitiful and joyful at the same time. I am not always Joyful Jenny. Sometimes I am down with Debbie. I have to spend more time with Jesus on these days. It’s not a quick fix. Perhaps you relate? Sometimes, instead of a praise dance party I have a pity pouting party and that leads to my “Joyful Jenny” name being hypocritical. Self pity always leads me away from the restoration of Joyful Jenny to digressing into the depressive “Debbie Downer” personality for sure.
In loving memory of my beloved brother, Donnie, and prayers of peace and healing over all others who know the grievous pain of injustice …
We all bleed crimson and the crimson stained cross is what we need to unite us for such a time as this.
Praises for Moms we Remember and Treasure
Like the rose, her life was filled with many thorns, but still the beauty of her spirit within bloomed to encourage and bless many. Remembering my sweet and beloved Mother, Rose Ann.
Even though…yet I will…
...are you living an "Even though...yet I will" life? I'm guilty like every one else on social media of only or predominately posting the good, the happy, and the fun times. What would social media look like if we all posted all our heartbreaks, relationship struggles, disappointments, brokenness and tears, or uploaded video clips of... Continue Reading →
Who’s “on” FIRST?
In this new year, do you desire something new? A better you? A better life? A better way of living? What do you do “first” every day? Do you PRAY first or WORRY first? Do you begin your day feasting on FEAR or FAITH? Do you wake up worshiping God with songs of praise or... Continue Reading →
Restored on June 13th
Twenty-three years ago today on June 13, 1994, I awoke to a nightmare like experience. I will never forget it. I remember the telephone ringing early that Monday morning, and immediately having an uneasiness in my spirit. The next thing I knew I was belted over in a painful pool of unconsolable tears on my...

Better Your Face & Eyes than Your Tongue
For so many of us, we would be so much better off if only our eyes and our faces did the speaking and our tongues remained both tied and tamed. #tameyourtongue #letyoureyesspeak #somuchbetterthanwordsthatkill #scarlettoharalessons #gonewiththewind #speaklife or #holdyourtongue Too few of us would dare to profess we have completely mastered the art of speech that always...

A mother's heart is always for her children, just like our Heavenly Father's heart is for His children. And so I say for all of us warrior women, "When you think of me,... Continue Reading →
This Follower is on Fire! Is this True of Me?
What is shut up within you that God desires to stir up and set ablaze for the purpose of bringing Him glory & blessing others? Or is there even any passion, desire or fire in you for anything? The winds are Your messengers, and flames of fire are Your servants. (Psalm 104:4) #thisfollowerisonfire Is this... Continue Reading →
