This week, I have ventured out of the house. I went to the dentist, the store and the hair salon. I am thankful to be healthy. I have to admit that there is an art to finding the right mask, that is breathable, and you don’t look like you are wearing a gas mask. If… Continue reading Let Go of What You Can See and Trust In God

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.
God’s Will Reigns
We have the freedom of choice. God let us fulfill the scriptures by crucifying his only son. What makes us so determined to do our own will? Do we think that we can manifest what we want into existence, with sheer determination and force? Jesus died on the cross for us. People mocked him. They… Continue reading God’s Will Reigns

Every Nation, Tribe, Tongue, and People Will Be Singing God’s Praises Together
We are living in unusual times. Our church opened up yesterday. Of course, it is different. People had to sit at least 6 feet apart, and they had to wear masks, except for the singing. Kids under 10 are not allowed in the sanctuary, so we still have to watch services online. Church is a… Continue reading Every Nation, Tribe, Tongue, and People Will Be Singing God’s Praises Together
Everything Has Its Time
We have had so much time lately. How have you been using your time? This morning, I opened the bible to Ecclesiastes. There is a time for every purpose under heaven. We have seasons of life. During this Quarantine, for me, it has been a time to heal, and a time to build up. I… Continue reading Everything Has Its Time
Praising God Through The Storms
Today is the last day of school! It has been quite a year. On the first day of school, I had to pick my kids up early to go to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD. A few weeks earlier, my mom was unexpectedly diagnosed with a brain tumor, Stage 4 Glioblastoma. After a 6… Continue reading Praising God Through The Storms
We Are Not of the World
The Coronavirus has certainly turned our lives topsy turvy! Even though we are entering Phase 2 on Friday, we are not going back to normal anytime soon, if ever. Today in Virginia, we heard an update on schools and sports for the Fall. Some are on, some are off. Schools plan to practice social distance… Continue reading We Are Not of the World
The Lord Directs Our Hearts
Our school system is unsure how the Fall school year will look. It may be virtual. It may be in person learning, with masks, and social distancing. It may be a combination. We will find out more this week. With the uncertainty of how school will look in the Fall, I have seen a wide… Continue reading The Lord Directs Our Hearts
God’s Glory Will Shine Through Us
The news has been consumed with reports on the Coronavirus for over two months. I would watch the news every night to see how many cases were in the D.C. Metro area, and take pictures of the map every day. Every night I would review how many more cases were in my county, from the… Continue reading God’s Glory Will Shine Through Us
