Sometimes it feels like everything is coming at me at once. I don't know how to feel about the events transpiring around me, and I don't know how to address each situation in a Godly manner. My heart gets weighed down by what is happening in my neighborhood, my kids' lives, my husband's work, my… Continue reading We Need To Do Our Part

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.
Each of Us Is Like a Puzzle Piece
The news lately has been so troubling. I live in Virginia. I moved here almost 4 years ago. I have loved it here, until this weekend. The Virginia Governor has been in the news this weekend for some very terrible reasons. I am so sad that Virginia voted for him and voted out a good… Continue reading Each of Us Is Like a Puzzle Piece
Trusting in God
I am going through a season of trusting in God, believing in all that I cannot see. There are a few situations in my life, where the outcome could be very good or very bad. In the past, I would get stressed out, decide on a solution and beg God to give me that solution.… Continue reading Trusting in God
God Will Help You Find a Way
It is so easy to point out other people's flaws and list the ways that they need to change. It is not not always so easy to look at myself honestly and admit that I need to change. I know my flaws, but I don't want to think about them. I would like to ignore… Continue reading God Will Help You Find a Way
You Are Not Meant To Do Everything On Your Own
Have you ever been in a situation where somebody is trying to make you look bad and you have no idea why? Sometimes, we are faced with these situations where people do not want us to succeed. Even in the bible, King David went through a difficult time when he pleads with God for justice… Continue reading You Are Not Meant To Do Everything On Your Own
Get Up, Show Up, and Put in the Effort
Lately, I have been wondering what purpose God has for me. God's purpose can be anything, nothing is too big for God, yet small things can be nurtured into big things that we cannot imagine. Sometimes, you just have to start, and when you fall down, don't quit. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and… Continue reading Get Up, Show Up, and Put in the Effort
A Little Bit of God’s Light Fills My Soul
From time to time, do you ever wonder what is your purpose in life? I do. Is it to be a good wife and mom? Is it to work? Is it to raise my children well? When I start to think about these things, I am missing my true purpose. The question that I should… Continue reading A Little Bit of God’s Light Fills My Soul
Cry Out to the Lord to Heal the People that Hurt Us
It is Tuesday, and I am trying to get back to a routine after a 4-day weekend, snow day last week, and school delays last week and again today, due to the snowy and cold weather. I was given so much to think about this weekend. My mind is still reeling. On Saturday, there was… Continue reading Cry Out to the Lord to Heal the People that Hurt Us
Peace that Money Cannot Buy
Yesterday was Christmas, when Christians around the world celebrated the birth of Jesus. We attended a church service on Christmas Eve, and the pastor said that few millennials know the true meaning of Christmas. It seems that people believe Christmas is a cultural holiday celebrated by putting up tress and gathering with family. I grew… Continue reading Peace that Money Cannot Buy
God Has a Place for Each of Us
The holidays bring festivities with people who may not normally be a part of your life. I mingle with neighbors, family, friends, friends of friends and my husband's co-workers. Tonight, I had an interesting encounter. A lady was trying to be competitive with me in a passive aggressive manner. She was telling me how she… Continue reading God Has a Place for Each of Us
