What a Blessed Woman I Am


Have too many thoughts to document for today - so will put them in a NOTE...and start the list!

1. What a blessed woman I am!

2. Loved hangin' out with my Dad at the hospital - actually going out for a walk around the oncology floor and thought to myself "I better pick up my pace - it won't look good to be "lapped" by the cancer patient!" Dad thought that was pretty funny too!

3. Loved hangin out with my sister and family tonight...am so blessed to have ALL of them in my life. My brother-in-law is incredibly smart - and I enjoy our conversations. Added to that he is a man who is passionate about living out his faith...love that about him.

4. Am so blessed to have Royce and Weston back home making it possible for me to be here....I miss them a lot - but am thankful that they support me even when I am gone.

5. Got to read through my nephew's Senior Thesis and was really impressed with his insight and focus on making our faith REAL and ACTIVE not passive. (Much more to it than this - but then...he was writing a THESIS whereas I am writing a blog post. Here is one of his Senior Pictures...love it....love him MORE!


6. My youngest niece drew a picture of me today. My favorite two details were my eyelashes (very black: which is prompting me to perhaps go see someone about updating my "look" as it appears that according to her picture I am stuck somewhere in the 80's. On the other hand...her details included me on - wait for it - "ICE SKATES!" Yes...she sees me as still being capable of gliding across the ice on two thin blades of steel. God bless her!

7. I have a sister and older niece who were able to talk me down from the ledge when I decided to color my own hair tonight....and as I washed it out the sink was filled with PINK water...Now whether they are being absolutely candid or not - they have me convinced that my hair is NOT PINK...that it merely added some "undertones" of red....which is definitely better than PINK hair.

5. So I end where I started....What a blessed woman I am!

    Thank you so much for this post. Gratitude Journal :-) It did my heart so much good to read your post. It was also a kick in the pants since it has been a long time that I have not expressed my gratitude for the people in my life.

    Awesome post.

    I had to chuckle at your youngest niece seeing you on ice skates. I believe she has it right, though, since you are a woman of many talents :-)

    Love you - Leslie

"What? You Are Drawing and Painting In Your Bible?!?!?!"

Image
This question was followed by the whispered question, "Don't you think that makes God mad? It's HIS WORD!"  Yes...let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm Jann and I am a Bible Journal-er! Since you have seen me draw on just about anything...you are probably not as surprised as my friend with whom I had this conversation. And just to be clear, I'm not poking fun at her - I think that I have had that exact same conversation with myself over the years of my personal study...because even though I have recently started painting in my Bible - I have written my heart out in the margins of many Bibles as I have dug into God's Word to learn everything that He has wanted to teach me. And I have often drawn small images to remind myself of a principle -- like the one I drew here at the end of the book of Genesis! Rabbit Trail : I felt that it ends rather abruptly - after we have studied all the things that happened to Joseph over the course of his life the final sente...

Under His Wings

Image
 Everyone needs a safe place to go when they are afraid or in danger. Growing up in Texas, we learned at a young age that when the tornado siren went off, you stopped and headed to the inner most room of the house with no windows. If you were quick about it, you could also bring a pillow and a stuffed animal for comfort. The whole family would huddle until the storm had passed. That's not bad advice...for earthly storms...but hiding in a closet when you're facing life's trials doesn't real help much! I love the picture of God's covering and protection that we find in Psalm 91. It says He will cover us with His wings (or feathers) like a Mama chicken takes care of her chicks! When danger comes...all her brood hustle to get under her wings because she will protect them with her life. There is no safer place...in life, than under the protection of our Mighty God! I created this card and Bible page with the @sweetnsassystamps set called "Under His Wings." It i...
