Bloggable Moments

Well I would say I've had several bloggable moments in the last few days...

Today was one of them, I felt very discouraged when I attemepted to cross the monkey bars...well let's just say I didn't make it very far :-(

Let's just say we should really start working out again!

So far my challenge to myself of not posting status unless they are scriptures or an encouraging word, has been good albeit challenging. I feel like I don't get to talk about what's going on much its strange.

well signing off for now talk with you again soon...

Personal Challenge for the next 30 days

I feel like I've been allowing myself to be too negative about life and things like work lately. And I've been letting it out through comments on my statuses.

So I'm challenging myself that for the next 30 days I will only post scriptures & encouragement I find. If I feel myself getting frustrated I'll do my best to find a scripture that's an encouragement or speaks to the situation.

Feel free to join me on this journey its going to be real :-)

With love, Jenn

One of January's Crafts

So it's a pot holder that I crochet & then felted :-) the picture didn't turn out that well but its really cute. It's brown....I can't decide if I need to make another so I can sell them as a pair? Or if I could sell them alone...what do you think?

I made another dish cloth but forgot to take a picture before I gave it away...

Well that's my big post for today. As well as a step in the direction of continuing to reach my goals! It's a photo blog and a blog about my crafting endeavors :-)

Anyway, nothing of any real consequence to say tonight so I sign of and say good night.

An Aha Moment...which leads to a lot of questions

Well tonight I had an Aha moment and I wonder what I should do with it...

2 Peter 1:4 (New King James Version)

⁴ by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

God's promises are exceedingly great AND precious! I trust this, I know this. However tonight I began to wonder...has God promised me these things that I'm praying for or is it just something that I want. Something that I've asked Him for?

Has He promised me a child....or do I just want one? Just another question I have and I am asking God...

Then while I am praying about this, this scripture comes to mind


Psalm 37:3-4 (New King James Version)

³ Trust in the LORD, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
⁴ Delight yourself also in the LORD,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Do I trust You Lord? Do I trust in You enough to have the desires of my heart? Do I delight myself enough in the Lord?

Lots of questions, I just wonder...

So much to do so little time...

Well it is that time again, I have to finish report cards this week and it seems that I'm not having much time to get them done. It's been a good week at work, I feel like I've been doing well with my classroom and such...

However instead of doing my report cards here I sit, blogging...it does mean I'm working toward my goal of blogging once a week. I wish I could write as well as my brother and sister do, however here I sit just writing.

I did finish a craft project, I need to take a photo of it and post about it...it was fun. It's for a friend who just got an apartment and needs some goodies for it.

Anyway I'm going to go and print some things for work and hopefully finish my reports cards or at least a few of them...

1-1-11 A New Year, A New Start

Even though I already posted once today, I want to actually start with a real post, to work toward my goal. I pray that I am able to continue the trend!

My reading today took me to Genesis 12, I know I've read these verses many times before and today I wanted to share the first few verses.

1 Now Jehovah said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto the land that I will show thee:2 and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing;3 and I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.4 So Abram went, as Jehovah had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. - Genesis 12:1-4

I want to be willing to do whatever God tells me to do, I am thankful that He hasn't told me to leave my home & family. However I pray that if He did I would be willing to go, just to pick up and go like Abram did. Because along with that command/instruction, there were promises, promise of blessing and protection!

Another verse that I came across today, I want to be a new creation, and for the old to be gone! Lord help me to accept the new!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” - 2 Corinthians 5:17

New Year, New Goals...

Someone somewhere told me that a goal isn't a goal until you write it down. So here I sit in the wee hours of 2011 ready to write some goals for this year. Some may seems small and or silly, however I pray that God would guide me to the completion of each goal that is His will for my life.

Goals for 2011

• To blog once a week, something thoughtful or prayerful & possibly something clever (I don't feel very clever very often, we shall see)
  
• Post a photo blog at least once per month
  
• Download at least one new song per month
• Learn to play the piano, or at least some worship on the piano
  
• Spend more time in prayer and bible reading than I do on the computer
• Finish at least one craft project a month (and blog about it :-])
• Save for a house
• Purchase our first home
• Read through the Bible this year!
  
• Continue to keep track of my goals and my progress toward reaching them :-)

Looking forward to many great things to come in 2011! It's going to be the best year yet!
