Slipped Thru His Fingers.... This Time

Have 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...

**** Jenn thinking ****
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....

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...

In your precious Son's name I pray, Amen....

The Newness In Me..

There is this little girl inside of me that has decided to come out and play. And I love it. She is into bright beautiful colors, changing how she looks and dresses. She is too excited to be tipping through the tulips !! This little mama also loves to just be herself and not worry about who is watching. This little lady is free !!!

I felt in bondage for tooo long and now I have come out of my shell. I have never felt better in my years of claiming Jesus (Ro, you know what I mean):) Everyday, little by little, the Lord is strpping me of the those things that I cannot hold on to that aren't of Him. If I am to take my rightful place in the kingdom, then I need to dot my i's and cross my t's.. :) I am on a mission to make the Lord proud and please Him on a daily basis with my life.

It gets hard sometimes, but I know the end result is Greatness with the Father !!! If I make Him my everything, I have nothing to worry about !!! Isn't that exciting???? Just think, brick by brick, day by day you are getting closer to the Father by sowing yourself into His word and renewing your spirit faithfully which includes dying to self. If you change certain attributes about yourself such as your mindset, attitude, most importantly your character to be more like Christ, you have everything to gain and absolutely nothing to lose !!! **dancing**

I am going to stop before I get to shouting foreal !!!

Love you all,

Jenn

Rest, Step Aside and Let Go...

I was told in a small, loving voice just recently..... Rest, Step Aside and Let go. I haven't talked about the scenarios (issues) that have been occuring in my life lately... All because I thought to some degree things were mellowing themselves out... NOT !!!!! :) I have learned that after you have done everything you could have possibly done, after you have exhausted just about everything you have (resources, time, etc...) the best thing to do is step aside and let God have it. Now, its time for me to rest. I have tried to make sense of the things that are going on.. But, at this stage in the game, I want my Daddy to take care of it. I don't want to do anything else to cause more issues to arise.

My wonderful sister sent me something so on point this morning. I am sooo glad she is in tune with the Lord's voice. :) I love her and my sister friend for life because of that very thing. The message from what my sister sent to me was to be rest assured in Jesus. Resting is not necessarily stopping. Resting can be done while you are doing. Make the most of your time and rest.

"For all who enter God’s rest will rest from their labors just as God rested after creating the world." (Hebrews 4:10, NLT)

I think I will adhere to what has given to me by one of His children and learn that His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. :)

Just a few questions..... Have you ever felt bullied into doing things you didn't want to do? Almost like someone is holding something you've done over your head and they won't let you forget it? Or how about if someone that has been in your life for a number of years often wonders why things in their life haven't changed and they state to you that they don't want to change, or want to be better for themselves....what do you do?
