Hi sweet friends~ I’ve thought so much about you and prayed for you often over the last few days. I’ve so enjoyed hearing from some new blog friends lately, and am thankful for this place where we can know and support each other in the Lord. One of these days, I hope to meet some of you face to face. 🙂
We’ve just come out of two weeks where someone in our home has been sick… Nathan missed an entire week of school, Abigail missed a day, and I spent a few days in a bad migraine fog. Today, we are praising the Lord that all is well and we can get back on a normal schedule.
It’s a busy but good week ahead. I’ve blocked off extra time to spend with The Lord so I can prepare to speak this Saturday at our Women’s Event “Supersize and Energize Your Faith”. I’ll be sharing my testimony and God’s encouragement for all who are waiting on The Lord. {He is SO Faith-Full! I can hardly think of the stories of God’s faithfulness in my life without my eyes pooling in tears. I’m just so grateful… so very very grateful.} Sharing my testimony of God’s faithfulness is a second nature joy to me, but I desperately desire a fresh Word from The Lord about Himself for me, and for those attending on Saturday. I’m looking forward to spending some special time with Him, so I’m reposting a few of my favorite posts this week on Smelling Coffee. I hope you enjoy them. 🙂
I would very much appreciate your prayers for me as I seek The Lord for Saturday, for Sunday’s Sunday school lesson and Sunday night’s Master Life lesson. Lots of blessed time soaking in to pour out God’s Word this week, and lots of regular activities to squeeze in, too… Please pray that I will be obedient, wise, and faithful.
I love you and thank God for all He is doing in and around your lives. Some of you dear readers are walking through a valley right now, wondering why in the world God would allow this deep place to come into your lives, and why He doesn’t fix it quickly. I know that you know this, but I want to be a part of God’s reminder to you that He is still at work… behind the scenes. He has not forgotten you and the situation or needs…You are on His mind and in His plans. Keep hanging on to Him, obeying God for today and trusting Him for tomorrow…and one day, because of His faithfulness – you’ll have an incredible story of Glory and victory! You and me both!
Much love to you, my friends… much love and many prayers~
Jennifer
