Something to sweeten your coffee

October 18, 2009

“What a God He is!

How perfect in every way!

All His promises prove true.

He is a Shield for everyone who hides behind Him.

For who is God except our Lord?

Who but He is as a Rock?”

Psalm 18:30-31 (The Living Bible)

Blessings to you on this Lord’s day…Jennifer

Most favorite people in the world: James (my husband), Nathan (my son), Abigail (my daughter), Aden (Abigail's husband), *SAM* and *MARY ELLA* (our 2 year old grandson and brand new granddaughter!!!) Mary (my mom), Gilbert (my dad, who now lives in Heaven), and my empty nest dog - Zoe (who has her own hashtag: #ZoeMyDoggy). And...I couldn't leave out my brother (Chris) and his family, my sister (Rebecca) and her family, or my Aunt Bibby - who, by the time I was three, taught me to drink from a china cup, eat shrimp cocktail, and how to shop with "lay away"! She now lives with Jesus, too... but Ill forever be grateful for her presence in my life! Favorite foods: Hazelnut coffee, milk chocolate candy, and chocolate chip cookies (gluten free, these days). Favorite relaxation activities: Reading a Christian historical fiction book in a long bubble bath, after a 2 hour nap on crisp, clean sheets... mmmmm! Favorite Sport: SHOPPING!!! (very similar to hunting, I think)... Favorite shopping find: an 80% off sale, and snagging designer clothing for $3.99 at Goodwill. :-) Most frequently used daily Devotional Book: My Utmost For His Highest (Oswald Chambers), Daily Light, and Valley of Vision (A Collection of Puritian Prayers). Bible Studies that have changed my walk with the Lord: Experiencing God (Henry Blackaby), Living God's Word (Waylen Moore), A Woman's Heart (Beth Moore), and Seeking Him (Nancy Leigh DeMoss Wolgemuth) Favorite Bible Verse... For now: Philippians 2:13 "It is God who gives you both the desire and the power to do what pleases Him."

Someday we will be thankful for the BURDENS we carry

Have you seen this? It circulated through e-mail back in the pre-blogging days and I shared it back in 2009… but when I saw it in my files the other day, it blessed me afresh. I’ve been studying a lot about “suffering” lately and about how we are not only to expect it, but that […]

When You Don’t Understand What God is Doing

September 13, 2017 By SmellingCoffee

It’s something we often wonder about, isn’t it? Especially these days when so many are hurting, flooding, burning, and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. Where is God in the midst of all of this suffering? God answered enough of that question for me a little over seven years ago, when my family […]

A Few Lessons Moms {or any of us} Can Learn from April the Laboring Giraffe

March 21, 2017 By SmellingCoffee

It seems like the whole world has been watching and waiting for April the Giraffe to give birth to her long awaited baby. I have been. ☺ Are you? As I’ve checked on her feed each day and received the updates on my phone, I can’t help but either smile at the sweetness, or shake […]

Blessings of a Different Kind (Fighting the “Entitlement” mentality)

October 9, 2013 By SmellingCoffee

(This is a repost from 2010 – in the midst of some heaviness of heart and life. Just felt led of the Lord to share it again and am praying for each one of you who will read it.) Do you ever think you’ve settled into something with the Lord, submitted to Him over it, […]
