When you plan for the future, do you always pray about it first? I try. Sometimes, I realize that I am making plans without asking God first or praying about it. My mind starts wondering and dreaming, and I forget to stop and ask God, is this what you want me to do? When our… Continue reading Rooted In Jesus

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.
Keep Trying
On those days when the world seems to be spinning out of control, hang in there and keep on trying. Lately, I have to pray a little more. I feel like the world is shouting and jumping up and down all around me. Being immersed in social media feeds, certainly does not help me. I… Continue reading Keep Trying
Teach Your Children About God
My social media feed is filled with thoughts on going back to school, learning virtually, daycare, sports, and homeschooling during this Covid-19 pandemic. Strong opinions abound on each topic. It is overwhelmingly to read all the thoughts and opinions. When I get overwhelmed, I turn to God and ask, “God what do you want me… Continue reading Teach Your Children About God
God Will Make Us Jewels
I opened up the bible to read about tithes. There were times in our past, when we didn’t tithe, and those were not good times. Now, we tithe every month, and thank God for having a job to be able to tithe, or give money to our church. When we started trusting in God, we… Continue reading God Will Make Us Jewels

Sometimes, I find myself worrying about situations or people in my life. Some situations seem utterly impossible. I cannot imagine how it will possibly work out.

Let Go of Earthly Wrongs
Forgiveness can be a difficult. If God can forgive us, we need to forgive others. Am I the only one that is hard for? I can try and justify not forgiving others. It comes down to the words that Jesus said, if you retain and hold onto the sins of others, God will hold onto… Continue reading Let Go of Earthly Wrongs
God’s Salvation Is Eternal
Are we listening to God? Is God calling us to a situation or task that seems hard and uncomfortable? I have to listen to the Lord. I want to follow righteousness and seek the Lord. The verse says to look at the rock from which we were hewn, or cut from. It says to look… Continue reading God’s Salvation Is Eternal
God Will Give Us Victory
Every day is the perfect day to praise God. Lately, I have been consumed with my social media feeds. What will happen to the school year? Will we go back to school in-person or learn virtually? I have seen so many comments on the topic that my head was spinning. During this overload of opinions… Continue reading God Will Give Us Victory
Why Does God Let Us Walk Through The Fire?
This morning I read the book of Daniel, when Daniel’s friends were thrown in the fiery furnace, because they would not worship false gods. Why does God make us walk through the difficult times? Why doesn’t he just save us? Being a Christian will not always be comfortable. We may go through difficult times, that… Continue reading Why Does God Let Us Walk Through The Fire?
