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.
Believe This Truth, You Are Wonderful
It is cold this morning. There is a weather wind advisory. Its only November! I am so happy to be inside drinking hot coffee. I have been thinking about relationships this morning. Have you ever had a relationship where you have the best intentions and try to be kind and positive, yet another person still… Continue reading Believe This Truth, You Are Wonderful
Doing a Bit Extra
Sometimes, life does not go as planned. My daughter is home sick today with bronchitis. Yesterday, I had so many plans and things to do after Thanksgiving. I had to stop, cancel appointments and change my plans, because my daughter needed me more than my 'to do list' did. So, before and after we saw… Continue reading Doing a Bit Extra
Seek, So You Don’t Slip
My daughter woke up this morning not feeling well with a fever. At first, I wasn't sure if she was just tired and wanted to stay home and put up Christmas decorations. I looked at her little face, and she looked sick. I called and cancelled today's appointments. I think God would treat each of… Continue reading Seek, So You Don’t Slip
God Loves Each and Every One of Us
I went to the womens' bible study this morning. It starts off with singing. Two women lead the singing worship, and they sing so beautifully, I cannot help but cry a little each time. I can feel the Holy Spirit in there, filling each of us with grace. Its a time to let go of… Continue reading God Loves Each and Every One of Us
Don’t Waste Time Worrying
Last night, I went to bed early at 9 PM. I woke up at 1 AM, with a sore throat and stuffy nose. As I tried to go back to sleep, I started worrying. Will I be too sick to make Thanksgiving dinner? I have to go grocery shopping, what if all the potatoes are… Continue reading Don’t Waste Time Worrying
Fill the Void

When I don't read the bible, things people say will bother me or upset me.… Continue reading Fill the Void
A Rich Life
This morning, my son said, "Mom, remember at the old house, there were stray cats?" He was only 4 years old when we lived at our previous house. I stopped, and I did remember. It was such an innocent comment, yet it reminded me how far God has brought us in 4 years. At the… Continue reading A Rich Life
Only One Standard Matters
Do you ever look at other Christians and think wow, they are so perfect, how could I be like that? Or, on the other side, do you look at other Christians and think wow, I can't believe all the things wrong with them, how can they call themselves Christians? I am probably in the latter… Continue reading Only One Standard Matters
Lift Me Out of This Slimy Pit
I went to bed too late last night, and I woke up to a rainy, cold morning. I woke my kids up, helped them get ready and walked them to the bus stop. I don't know if it was the chilly damp morning or not enough sleep, but I felt like crawling back into bed… Continue reading Lift Me Out of This Slimy Pit
