Do you ever get consumed by your life, that you feel weighed down? Sometimes I think of all the things that I need to do and should do, instead of focusing on what is really important. Sometimes I get hung up on the mistakes that I made in the past, and I don’t let myself… Continue reading Let God Show Me How He Sees Me

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.
If God Is For Me, Who Can Be Against Me?
Sometimes Satan reminds us of our past. This morning I was thinking about people that used in be in my life. With memories, I remember how people made me feel, especially when people made me feel less than what God intended for me. God removes people from our lives for a reason. God can see… Continue reading If God Is For Me, Who Can Be Against Me?
God Is the Light in the Dark
God can change your circumstances, and when he does, he will take care of every detail. Seven years ago, my husband was unemployed. His contract ended. We tried to sell our house, but it wouldn’t sell. I started working more hours, from being a part-time employee. I had always wanted to be a stay at… Continue reading God Is the Light in the Dark
God’s Mercy Endures
Seven years ago, I was in a different place. I lived in another state. I went to church and thought that I was faithful. I had a job and worked part time. My kids were so little, 2 and 4 years old. I had no idea what was going to happen. It would make me… Continue reading God’s Mercy Endures
Hope, Comfort and Joy
We live in a world, where when we read the bible, people say we are in a cult. The most sold book in the world is the bible. I go to a church that studies the bible every week, from cover to cover. It takes years to go through the entire bible. I learn so… Continue reading Hope, Comfort and Joy
Trust In God

God Will Equip Us To Do His Good Works
Do you truly believe that God’s goodness is better than anything else? I do, yet I still sin. Why would I miss out on some of God’s blessings and go against God? All humans sin. Understanding our own ‘why’ is complicated. If we repent, God will forgive us. I have to keep reminding myself that… Continue reading God Will Equip Us To Do His Good Works
Return to God With All of Your Heart
In the Old Testament, Josiah restores true worship. When we stray away from God, and feel compelled to return to God, we do so with gusto. Once you live in the presence of God as a believer, you never want to live your life without Jesus. You feel safe and protected, even in storms, because… Continue reading Return to God With All of Your Heart
God Frees Our Hearts With Love
Some days don’t start great. It feels like everyone is yelling and mad at everything. These are the days, that I ask my children to read a devotional out loud. Then, we pray. It resets our day, and the rest of the day unfolds in a more peaceful way. My first reaction, when people are… Continue reading God Frees Our Hearts With Love
Step Out In Faith
Have you ever wondered why something is taking so long? Doesn’t everyone appreciate the satisfaction of a job well done? When you bake cookies, it is so rewarding. I get the ingredients, mix everything, scoop out cookie batter onto baking trays and bake them in the oven. The results of my efforts are right there,… Continue reading Step Out In Faith
