Studio work, learning new duties at work, getting ready for school time again..... Lots to do with sooo lil' time. I have been in the cracks of the valleys and on mountain tops wondering when this whirlwind called life will take a minute or two and be still... NOT !!!! =)). Everyday I try to incorporate a "One Minute Prayer" to keep me calm and sane... And it has been working due to the fact that each prayer allows me to show every single emotion I have. Not just praying over the good things, but allowing to shed my anger, frustration, sadness, feeling alone... <br /><br />Thank you Lord for allowing me to be who I am in the midst of trials and errors as well as victories and triumph !!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/108/A1ECF57A2E41635E241F8851A521EEC7.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07945190230670741060noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466677815061172587.post-36019124540665724932009-03-25T10:08:00.003-05:002009-03-25T10:38:48.900-05:00Wonders sometimes.....Why people do the things they do, say what they say and then look at you and go, "What?"... You have every right to be who you are... but come on... no one should be subject to your mess.... I am around people who have the "DIVA" syndrome daily, and want you to be a part of it daily..... that is not cool in my book seriously. <br /><br /><br />Just had to throw that out there..... <br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/108/A1ECF57A2E41635E241F8851A521EEC7.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07945190230670741060noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466677815061172587.post-15245463886241813352009-03-16T15:37:00.003-05:002009-03-16T16:38:26.832-05:00Hmmmmm...Have you ever loved someone soooo much it made you cry??? And this person you have never seen before? But everytime you think of him/her, you heart melts and you begin to wonder what they are thinking, what are they doing........ Hmmmmmmm.... wondering why masks are still being worn due to fear of being mislead and having a broken heart. When will the fascades(sp?) end? When will you decide that it doesn't matter what others think about that individual....or that the only one that needs to be pleased because your heart is true is Jesus???? When will the transparent shield come down? Be proud of who God has molded you into, be thankful for the grace and mercy you have received from the Father who sooooooooooo lovingly and unconditionally gave it you. Stop hiding behind you intelligence and let you guard down. Trust the Lord... Trust the Lord... Walk in that "No Holds Barred" faith as you speak of..... :) <br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/108/A1ECF57A2E41635E241F8851A521EEC7.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a><br /><br />Today, reject human solutions and embrace God's solutions for your life by making Him Lord. Successfully ruling your personal life depends upon denying yourself, taking up your cross, and following Jesus.

The same tenacious, exuberating spirit we all have had during the 21 months of the campaign, the same rush of emotion that has gone into going into neighborhoods, communities to get the word out to vote. All of the text messages, emails and videos (love the one from CNN.com :x) that were sent to make sure your voice was heard... It worked !!! And history was made....<:-P...<br />But...... yeah I know.......<br /><br />The hard works begins now... My prayer is that the American people will come together and show the world that we are one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all !!!!<br /><br />OBAMA !!!!!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/246/4D1A42B75775DD307B97AD2716C7E2BD.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;"/></a>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07945190230670741060noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466677815061172587.post-17272163260111996472008-10-28T09:02:00.008-05:002008-10-28T09:40:43.556-05:00Time Sure Does Fly By....I realize that I haven't posted since August.. whoa... Time flies when you are working, I have been here at my job for almost a year :-O (Nov. 1st) and I am truly, truly thankful for the situations, antics, fallouts, arguments, frustration that I have had in order to get closer to Jesus in the workplace. Blessed oil comes in real handy around here.... ;)) I have been frustrtated :-L, mad at the world, mad at people for the things that I did. But, no one has control over my actions, but me. I have learned to step back and re-evaluate situations without just making decisions emotionally. That is soooooo hard to do... <br /><br />About this time last year, I was <a href="http://jennslifeinjminor.blogspot.com/2007/10/blessings.html">venting</a> about what was going on in my world and where I was with it. And recalling the many blessings I have received since then. The Lord has revealed quite a bit in a year and I must say that I have been knocked on my face to pray. This situation is a lil more complicated, more complex than before...<br />***When you get a moment, please [-O< for you me*** <br /><br />I have been at my wits ~X( end about how to continue moving forward. Things are falling into place, and I am thankful that the Lord hasn't given up on me yet... <br /><br />I sure hope that whatever the ultimate final decision is that I make, won't leave me without the people I need the most. I think that is my biggest fear. Well, off to work I go...:-"<br /><br /><br />Love you all :x :)>-,<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/246/4D1A42B75775DD307B97AD2716C7E2BD.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;"/></a>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07945190230670741060noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466677815061172587.post-52404748658022146242008-08-22T11:46:00.003-05:002008-08-22T12:00:25.308-05:00Giving Props...Thank you to Kysha of Love's School, her blog is always on point.

[-O< Just pray for me... =))<br /><br />Ok...Here we go:<br /><br /><br />Prayer for Healing (Wow !!!) <br /><br />Scripture prayer is based on: 2 kINGS 20:5 This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. <br /><br /><br />Oh my... If you have ever read any of my entries of what has gone with my world in the last year or so, just from reading you will be able to understand why this one minute prayer opportunity is right on time for me.<br /><br />Prayer: Lord, I have wept (and still do) in private, away from family, friends and loved ones that mean well. And you, my Heavenly Father, have seen my tears. All of the awkward, shattered, lonely expressions of pain and confusion that stumble from my lips and yet and still You (and You alone) have healed me. My prayer is whole when it falls upon Your gracious heart. Your answer is complete: You love me. You see me and will heal all of my brokenness. Whenever I have asked why, You have never turned me or my neediness away. You hold me close and show me Your heart. <br /><br />Thank you for taking my pain, Lord. I have felt Your tears fall and I understand that they have healed me. I praise You Lord, for never letting me fall... Amen...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/246/4D1A42B75775DD307B97AD2716C7E2BD.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;"/></a>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07945190230670741060noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466677815061172587.post-54487293986626855102008-08-19T08:46:00.008-05:002008-08-19T11:37:17.342-05:00Today's One Minute Prayer...I think what I am going to do is share the one minute prayers I receive with you guys on Tuesdays and Thursdays.. That way I know I get my chance to spend some QT with the Lord in the mornings along with you...<br /><br />So here is today's:<br /><br />Rich with Redemption... My.. my....<br /><br /><strong><em>Scripture prayer is based on: Ephesians 1: 7-8, In Him we have redemption through His blood, his forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding</em>..</strong><br /><br /><strong><em>Prayer</em>:</strong> Father God, keep me from being spiritually poor. Lord, in the material realm, I want for nothing. I have food to eat and a roof over my head. I have the means to care for my daughter and myself. You have even allowed me to taste in some instances, the luxury of abundance with the grace you bestow upon me daily. But I know it takes wisdom to accumulate spiritual riches. With Your guidance, I want to understand the many treasures of salvation. Your steadfast love satisfies me. Your grace inspires and leads me to wanting the spiritual riches you have for me. And it covers a multitude of my iniquities(Praise the Lord). Because I have chosen to be obedient, I am a wealthy child of Yours.... Amen.<br /><br />Just thought I would share one of my most favorite pictures of my 1st grader... Wow..(I have a first grader !!!)<br /><br /> Introducing...

Which of course, hasn't occurred yet. But I have started to do was.. knowing I have a FULL schedule, is take One Minute to pray. I love it when I get a lil bit of time in with the Lord and watch the rest of my day manifest in FULL !!!! Isnt that amazing.. You give just a little bit and the Lord gives a BOUNTY of blessing !!! <br /><br /><strong><em>Embracing the Unknown</em></strong>... Wow... That is a mouthful in itself... This is something I have been battling with. I like my comfort zone. But I am coming to grips that this is not where the Lord wants me.. *** Grabbing water bottle**<br /><br />Scripture prayer is based on: Psalm 25:4-5.. Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.<br /><br />Prayer: Father God, You see all that takes place in my life. Knowing this gives me peace as I face transition. I exchange my uncertainty (oh boy) for Your promise of security. Open my eyes to the wonders of every turn, tangent, and seeming detour I come across. I don't want to miss a miracle by starting a new journey deteriorated by regret, pride. Father, I want to long for You. For the path You have carved out just for Jenn. Remove the rose colored glasses, the blinders from my physical and spiritual eyes so that I may see the beauty You created that surrounds me. I am eager to see what You have in store for me.. I love you Lord.. Amen<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/246/4D1A42B75775DD307B97AD2716C7E2BD.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;"/></a>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07945190230670741060noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466677815061172587.post-42365083930550553662008-07-31T14:58:00.011-05:002008-08-01T08:58:27.640-05:00My Work, My Labor, My Endurance...The Lord gave me this scripture that I am going to share with you...Let me know what you think... <br /><br />1 Thessolonians 1:3 says, I desire that these things will be remembered before You: <strong>my work</strong> produced by faith, <strong>my labor </strong>prompted by love, and <strong>my endurance </strong>inspired by hope in my Lord Jesus Christ.<br /><br />All these things are crucial to walking on this journey of Christianity.

Psalm 46:1, God is our refuge and strength,an ever-present help in trouble. <br /><br />Wow !!!! I liked doing that.. That was great !!! I guess I shouldn't feel so out of place after this, huh?<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/187/A788326283F2C68958A031A4D9CE1CDF.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;"/></a>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07945190230670741060noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466677815061172587.post-21995764722435966292008-07-25T09:07:00.001-05:002008-07-25T09:26:34.145-05:00Out of Place...Have you ever been in an environment where you just felt like you didn't belong?

The Lord allowed me the opportunity to go back and reflect.... Just wanted to share....<br /><br /><br />Friday, October 26, 2007<br /><br />The First Time for Me...<br /> <br />When I truly allowed Him to speak to me was when I was preparing to be a mom. I knew my life before then was not the best. Oh My Word. I was living crazy. Was in a crazy, jacked up relationship and wanted out. I began journaling every night asking the Lord to talk to me. To breathe on me. To love me. To help me get to Him. Over the course of 2 months, my life went spiraling (what looked like)downwards turned upwards. The more things came to pass that He spoke to me, the more I wrote and talk to Him wanting,needing, desiring more. I pray that sooner (prayerfully)or later you would just take a few minutes to get to know Jesus for yourself. Not for your man, or your sister, but for yourself. Because if you don't, it will bite you in the butt later on in life. Not good. <br /><br />The Lord spoke to me stating that I was indeed the apple of His eye, that I was His daughter with an inheritance that I wouldn't know what to do with because of the weight of it. Wow... I began to search my heart truly then only because He showed me that He was what I needed... it didn't really matter that I wanted it...The fact is that I chose Jesus. I chose life. I chose royalty. <br /><br />When are you going to let Jesus wash your feet and drench your hair with the oil from the Alabaster box?<br /><br />He is waiting,<br /><br /> <br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/187/A788326283F2C68958A031A4D9CE1CDF.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;"/></a>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07945190230670741060noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466677815061172587.post-44375311702123225492008-06-05T11:09:00.004-05:002008-06-05T11:53:20.109-05:00Slipped Thru His Fingers.... This TimeHave you ever wondered why the Lord allows certain things to happen (or not happen) in your life? Do you ever feel like nothing is moving around you? Like everything is at a standstill and all you really want is results from you fervent prayers?? Not that you are questioning His authority or power, but just wondering how come that particular lesson didn't get caught before it got to you...<br /> <br />**** Jenn thinking ****<br />I know for a fact that alot of what could happen doesn't because the Lord knows His children. He knows how much we can handle while calling on His name. I do know that "this too shall pass" in whatever season or which test I am in.... <br /><br />Father, I come before Your throne Oh Lord to cast my cares upon you. I don't know the outcome as of yet, but I know that You got this.... Show me how to let go and give You that last piece of baggage before I take off to my next destination of growth. I can't go to the next place with it. I have to leave and mean it. Your word says to give everything to You and let You handle it. I surrender, Lord. I surrender to You every single plan, thought, action that pertains to self glorification. I choose to follow Your word, I choose to follow Your heart when it comes to what's best for Jenn. I love you with every breath I breathe...<br /><br />In your precious Son's name I pray, Amen....<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/187/A788326283F2C68958A031A4D9CE1CDF.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;"/></a>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07945190230670741060noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466677815061172587.post-11717690305051343482008-06-02T10:42:00.007-05:002008-06-02T16:57:15.195-05:00Tears Like A River...Ya know, I knew it was coming. I knew it was going to hit me. I knew that soon, I would breakdown and cry sooo hard my eyes, head and heart would hurt.... My life is topsy-turvy and sooo many things ran through my head in a matter of 15 secs it felt like... I am glad that I got it out, but wow.... I didn't realize how much of what has been going on with my world I had pinned up in my 4'11 stature... And just when I felt like there was no hope for me, when I felt at my wits end, the Holy Spirit comforted me with something soo special that my sister sent me a while back... <br /><br />HANDY LITTLE CHART - <br />God has a positive answer: <br /><br />You say: "It's impossible" God says: All things are possible (Luke 18:27) <br />You say: "I'm too tired" God says: I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28-30) <br />You say: "Nobody really loves me" God says: I love you (John 3:1 6 & John 3:34 ) <br />You say: "I can't go on" God says: My grace is sufficient (II Corinthians 12:9 & Psalm 91:15) <br />You say: "I can't figure things out" God says: I will direct your steps (Proverbs 3:5- 6) <br />You say: "I can't do it" God says: You can do all things (Philippians 4:13) <br />You say: "I'm not able" God says: I am able (II Corinthians 9:8) <br />You say: "It's not worth it" God says: It will be worth it (Roman 8:28 ) <br />You say: "I can't forgive myself" God says: I Forgive you (I John 1:9 & Romans 8:1) <br />You say: "I can't manage" God says: I will supply all your needs (Philippians 4:19) <br />You say: "I'm afraid" God says: I have not given you a spirit of fear (II Timothy 1:7) <br />You say: "I'm always worried and frustrated" God says: Cast all your cares on ME (I Peter 5:7) <br />You say: "I'm not smart enough" God says: I give you wisdom (I Corinthians 1:30) <br />You say: "I feel all alone" God says: I will never leave you or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5)<br /><br />I got the chance to remember how much my Daddy loves me.. I had the opportunity to fall in love with Him on whole other level. I am in love with Jesus and He is in love with me. This chart is going to help reshape my thinking and outlook on things. How marvelous is it that we can cry til it hurts knowing that His arms are right there to hold us and love on us. I know without a shadow of a doubt that the decisions I have made thus far, haven't been wrong, that I am indeed good enough, that I am worth more than I think. Truth be told, I don't like feeling I am second or that I am not important enough to someone. <br /><br />It was time for me to truly let go... It was time for me to readjust the color of my glasses and see clearly what's going down. And know that in time, with patience and endurance this race will indeed be won !!!<br /><br />Love ya,<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/187/A788326283F2C68958A031A4D9CE1CDF.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;"/></a>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07945190230670741060noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466677815061172587.post-73098890127680799712008-05-22T16:34:00.004-05:002008-06-02T16:58:16.671-05:00Short, Sweet and To The Point....I saw this today and this is where I am with my life. And I have to admit, these words are exactly what I have been looking for to sum up how I feel.. Wow !!!<br /><br /><br /><strong>Be who you are in the Lord and do what you feel is appropriate according to His word...Because those that matter...don't mind...And those that mind...don't matter."</strong><br /><br /><br />"He meets you right where you are...His arms are stretched out wide for you to embrace Him"...J.T.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/187/A788326283F2C68958A031A4D9CE1CDF.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;"/></a>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07945190230670741060noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466677815061172587.post-66142911786943982512008-05-09T09:11:00.006-05:002008-06-02T16:58:35.758-05:00To Be or Not To Be (A Fit Mother)... That Is The Question....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbT9XY9JPdRcTeOi7YlXarIBSEGSNKLQl49QqqZPdCWA2BryvTVEY14TTzX6IAxnyfZpEIyWb9xWax0Rm25ctgt89yi9VP19d0p0y0epRszGrzS6Mxe6R1FXmZLvGUy39DNPXQAxZmeHrD/s1600-h/Momma+%26+Baby.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbT9XY9JPdRcTeOi7YlXarIBSEGSNKLQl49QqqZPdCWA2BryvTVEY14TTzX6IAxnyfZpEIyWb9xWax0Rm25ctgt89yi9VP19d0p0y0epRszGrzS6Mxe6R1FXmZLvGUy39DNPXQAxZmeHrD/s200/Momma+%26+Baby.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199509187269892834" /></a><br />This question in my head is kinda quirky because I wonder if I am a fit mother. Will I ever be right to be someone's care giver, life saver, protector, nuturer..aka Mom. I am sure you are thinking... according to who? Society? Family, Friends?? That is what I ask myself quite frequently.<br /><br />I know there are a whole lot of things I can do differently. I hope and pray that those things come with the help of the Lord and time. Being a mom doesn't come with complete instructions. What it comes with is: A relationship that is tested every second of every minute....your relationship with Jesus and with your child. And... it ain't no joke. I love being a mother to my princess, but I will not lie... It's one of the hardest duties that I have been called to do. And I know that I wouldn't change it for the simple fact that the Lord knew I needed this continual life lesson in human form to mold and shape me for the kingdom. <br /><br />I know that it takes laying on my face and praying to the Lord God Almighty for guidance every step of the way... Here's to you all of your moms who feel like you don't matter, that you aren't the best.... Have a nugget for you to hold captive in your heart...<br /><br />YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH !!! The Lord will supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory !!! You are the apples of His eye. :) You mean more to Him than you mean to anyone else.. Allow Him to give you all of the tools you need to succeeed in this position of being mommy..<br /><br />I am thankful for all of the mothers who have had a part of me becoming who I am especially the one who gave me life.. :) I praise God for a praying mama.. And who never stopped believing in me. <br /><br />Happy Mommy's Day !!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/187/A788326283F2C68958A031A4D9CE1CDF.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;"/></a>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07945190230670741060noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466677815061172587.post-22571373010602170672008-05-08T12:00:00.008-05:002008-05-08T16:22:39.290-05:00Talk About Cleaning House... Ole Stuff Just Won't Do<a href="http://www.mrs-sparkles.com.sg/images/housekeeper_3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://www.mrs-sparkles.com.sg/images/housekeeper_3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Do you ever get the feeling like everything around you flithy is clogging up your system? Or that the dust flying in the air is causing your allergies to flare?<br /><br />Maybe it's time to get some spring/summer cleaning done? Let's go deeper, shall we? How about spring/summer cleaning your spiritual being? Do the things you incorporate into your life that are within "comfort boundaries" clog up your system? Do your "spiritual sinuses" begin to go haywire due to some dust in the air? In talking to my <a href="http://abeeutifulmind.blogspot.com">sister </a>(bestest friend ever in life), the Holy Spirit advised me that in order to be refreshed, rejuvenated and ready for the next phase of this journey, I need to get rid of some things... All of the excess baggage, doesn't need to follow me the rest of my days.. :) Wow.. Look at God !!! I was wondering why my mind wasn't clear, why I was always looking for some type of "the right medicine" to get rid of this headache that just wouldn't go away. You know the kind that sort of lingers, goes away... comes back... lingers.. you get the idea.. <br /><br />I knew I was going to have to clean, but good gracious a life.... I didn't realize there was sooo much to clean.. Not just the right now, but the before right now **Jenn getting dizzy**.. That's quite a bit. But the wonderful part of that is, I don't have to do it all in one swoop. I can clean in stages, which is a blessing in itself.. :) <br /><br />Lord, <br /><br />You have been EVERYTHING I need since I can remember. Forgive me, Father for putting those things and people in my world before You and not getting rid of the garbage as I should have. Thank you that You are a God of protection, love, truth, soverignty, grace and mercy.. I come before You now, knowing what's at hand, and laying it at Your feet for me to not to worry about. Create in me in pure and gentle heart so that I may worship You freely and openly....<br /><br />In Your Precious Son's name I pray,<br /><br />Amen...<br /><br />Well, I betta get to cleaning !!! See ya !!!Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07945190230670741060noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466677815061172587.post-73157269606193935902008-05-07T10:36:00.004-05:002008-06-02T16:59:01.367-05:00Blessings...Today is a special day for me.
