Do you ever have one of those days, where everything just feels overwhelming? You are not alone. Jesus had days like this too. When he prayed in the garden, he knew that he was going to fulfill scriptures. He knew that he would be crucified on the cross and die as a sacrifice to forgive… Continue reading Peace and Strength

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.

Next Friday is Valentine's Day. My kids are excited to exchange cards with their classmates and eat cupcakes. It is all cute and fun. I had to look up the history of Valentine's Day. It seems to have involved Christians converting people, miracles of healing, bishops secretly marring couples and executions. I can't make this stuff… Continue reading Love
We Have an Eternal Purpose
Yesterday, I talked to a Grief Counselor at my church. I wanted to check in and make sure my children and I are handling the loss of parents in a healthy way. I have never talked to a counselor before, except when I was at my university looking for an internship. I feel so encouraged.… Continue reading We Have an Eternal Purpose

Stop and Take a Minute to Help
It is easy to get so busy in life, that you can no longer make time for others. I remember asking my sister a few years ago, if we could get together. She said that she was too busy for the entire month and could not get together. I remember being surprised that she could… Continue reading Stop and Take a Minute to Help
The Light of Life
Good Morning. Today, it is a very Springlike 65 degrees, in the winter. Usually we are in the 30s. I wonder if we will see snow this year... Today, when I opened the book of John, I read about the woman caught in adultery and Jesus as his own witness. The leaders brought a woman… Continue reading The Light of Life
Hold God’s Promises In Your Heart
This morning, I opened the bible up to Daniel, where he prays that God will help them interrupt the king's dream. It says that God reveals secrets. God knows deep and hidden things. We don't even know, what we don't know. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, And… Continue reading Hold God’s Promises In Your Heart
What is Embedded in Your Heart?
Happy Friday! I started reading the bible occasionally 5 years ago. We switched to a bible based church 3 years ago. Now, it has become a habit to read the bible every morning. It focuses my mind on what is really important and gives me something to think about during the day. This morning, I… Continue reading What is Embedded in Your Heart?
A Pure Heart
Good morning. It is cold today. It feels like 22 degrees. Even though I was bundled up at the bus stop with fuzzy boots, ear muffs, a scarf and gloves, some of the boys still wore shorts. There is not a guide book on how to dress, but there are standards and 'the norm' for different… Continue reading A Pure Heart
Each Day is a New Beginning
Good Morning! Every morning is a new beginning. It is a chance to start something new. It is an opportunity to break a bad habit and start a new good habit. We always think of New Year's Eve as a new beginning and a fresh start. Each morning is too. We are human, so we… Continue reading Each Day is a New Beginning
