When the Lord Speaks

As I was reading through my personalized Verseability cards (see previous post), I came across this verse:

"Jennifer, the Lord your God, will make up for the losses caused by those things in your past that have brought you disgrace and harm." Joel 2:25

This verse resonated with me so much! One of the things that seems to weigh heaviest on my mind is our finances. I'm so thankful for the blessings and provisions that God provides us daily. I'm also never too far away from the pit of guilt and shame caused by some pretty poor financial decisions from the past. I'm working to stop that crazy cycle. We're working to become debt free. Progress is slow, but still progress. This week, though, I had a dream that was all about a scary financial place. I can tell that the enemy is trying to keep me in a bad place. Trying to keep me stuck in the rut of guilt, shame, and worry.

And then God spoke to me through this verse. A verse I didn't even remember ever hearing.

Praise You, Lord!!

I just had to share how incredible it is when God's Word comes to life and says EXACTLY what we need to hear.

Never underestimate the power of God's Word, friends!

Read it. Meditate on it. Pray through it. Memorize. Ponder. Absorb.

The more I'm in the Word, the more I want to be. It's so precious to me when the Lord takes time to reach out and touch me through it.

May we all make God's Word an essential part of our daily lives. Nothing else is as important.

Hello, There! Let Me (Re)Introduce Myself!

Well, hello there! Are you new here? I feel like I should be asking this of myself! I’ve been thinking for a while of returning to blogging. Not having to start from scratch is sure a blessing! I’m sure this blog will experience a few minor changes in the near future: like maybe the color scheme or even the name, but overall everything is pretty much still gonna be the same. It’s just me sharing my heart, sharing the wisdom that I hear God speaking and hoping to do it in a way that brings a little humor and joy into your life while I do. There’s been a lot of life changes since the last time I wrote in here. Our son is married, and he and our daughter-in-law are expecting their first baby very soon! (Dave & I are very excited to become Pops & Mimi!) His twin sister is finishing up grad school at the University of Tennessee - soon to become a speech language pathologist. And our youngest daughter is working full-time & getting ready to start a new job. My husband and I are w...

Romans 8: True Self vs False Self

When I hired my life coach in the summer of 2022, I was amazed at how quickly I saw true transformation in my own life. I knew pretty quickly that I wanted to someday get certified as a life coach myself. With my husband's blessing, I signed up for certification in the fall of 2023, and graduated last June as a Certified Christian Life Coach. I started accepting a few free clients in the fall of 2023, and have been thrilled to be able to coach several ladies since then. I am a general life coach for women of faith - of any age. What a joy it has been to help other women begin to have breakthroughs...even while I'm still experiencing breakthroughs of my own!  Last summer, as I was brainstorming ways I could grow my coaching business and reach more people in my community, I decided to let my town's FB group know that I was available for speaking at women's events or mom's groups in the upcoming year. It definitely was a little scary to put that offer out into the worl...

Finishing 2025 With My Soul On FIRE!

 Well, before I get started, I just have to say - if you don't already know - I actually DID start my podcast!!! There are currently 7 episodes out (with one more scheduled to post Saturday). I am having SO much fun with it! I am just so stinkin' proud of myself for doing the dang thing. LOL Whether I'm the only who ever listens to it - or it reaches a few strangers on the internet - I am so happy to be saying a resounding YES! to God's call on this one. So. Much. Fun. Holy Whispers Welcome Episode And, I guess, that leads in nicely to this blog post.  Let's finish this year STRONG! Saying yes to all the things that light our souls on FIRE! Even the things that terrify us! God gave us this opportunity, so let's make it count!  As my birthday approaches in a few weeks, it always gets me taking the temperature on where my life is at. We're almost 8 full months into 2025. What were your goals in January? What are the reasons you're proud of yourself right n...
