My name is Karen Jean. I started this blog in 2018, after I fully accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. As I learned how amazing life is with the Lord in control, I could not wait to share the good news of Jesus Christ in this blog. As you read through it, I hope you see my biblical understanding continue to grow and develop. About me: Most importantly, I am a child of God. I reside in Ashburn, Virginia with my husband, two children and pet dog. Thank you for reading my blog.

A Life of Hope and Peace

Today I prayed and opened up the bible to a familiar passage in Jeremiah. Memories and feelings came flooding back. It is such a blessing to remember how far God has carried me.   The bible verse reminded of what was happening in our lives 11 years ago. My husband’s contract was not renewed, so… Continue reading A Life of Hope and Peace

I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Karen Jean

Two days ago, Charlie Kirk was assassinated. It is all over every social media feed. I have never met him, he spoke at my church once. Why do I feel a profound loss? He believed in Jesus and had a strong faith. He loved America. He loved his family. He went to college campuses to… Continue reading I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Will you chose God or the World?

Karen Jean

God can turn our biggest mistakes into our biggest testimonies. Praise God for that! If you are like me, you have made plenty of mistakes before knowing the Lord. It is the stuff that the song “Hard Fought Allelujah” is made of. God reached out to me, when I was at my lowest. I could… Continue reading Will you chose God or the World?

Embrace God’s Plan

Do you ever get that heavy feeling in your stomach when things don’t work out? You did everything with the best of intentions yet it was misconstrued. It can be tough to accept.

Salvation: Prayer to Accept Jesus as Your Lord and Savior

Have you ever heard, “Oh my faith is a private choice.” I was once one of those people.  My story began at a Christmas Service, I felt the Holy Spirit as the Christmas songs rang throughout the sanctuary.  I will never forget this verse from Matthew 10:33, “whoever denies Me before men, him I will… Continue reading Salvation: Prayer to Accept Jesus as Your Lord and Savior

The Trinity: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit

Karen Jean

God Is Our Creator The concept of the Trinity, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit is mind blowing. I have come to understand it more, by realizing that God lives outside of time. God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit were at the beginning of time, now and will be here forever. They are… Continue reading The Trinity: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit
