What if you just simply don't know?

What if you get to that point where you just simply don't know what's next? You feel like maybe you're missing "it". Whatever "it" is. You can't figure out what to do next...and you feel completely clueless as to what God is leading you to and what He has planned.

Our human minds can only handle the day to day. The rest is far to heavy a burden for our small frame to shoulder. God...He knows. He knows it is hard for us to be us. He knows our weakness and He is strong. He SEES you. He knows it's hard.

Over spring break a coworker texted me this image....said she was just thinking of me. (In that moment I knew God saw me...as I thought about His plans...my plans.)

*"As we stand at the threshold of transition we can remember how God has helped us in the past."

"I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your doings; I muse on the work of Your hands. I stretch out my hands to You; My soul longs for You, as a parched land." Psalm 143

Receiving that text had me "meditating" on all God's promises and how He has worked all things together...and in that place peace waited.

I sat down with pen in hand and {journaled} the following...

Considering you are the God of all comfort I know it is safe to ask questions. 

(I listed those questions...the ones I don't know the answer to....)

God I am just scared...being scared seems so incredibly foolish to me when I think on truth.  
(And I began listing TRUTH.)

• I am Your Daughter.
• You will never leave or forsake me.
• You knew me before I was formed. 
• You are the God who heals ALL iniquities. 
• You make all things new. 
• You turn mourning into dancing. 
• You order my steps and You are good. 
• You cause the sun to rise and set -- the stares and moon to come out at night. 
• There is no place Your hand cannot reach. 
• You are the God who sees...all.
• You are the Victor. You have already won the battle! Amen! 
• You do not make mistakes. 
• Your plans never fail. 
• My hopes, dreams, and desires are safe in Your hands. 
• Your ears do not grow dull.
• You are kind.
• You are compassionate.
• You are patient. 
• You are steadfast. Never changing. Never leaving. 
• Your Spirit is my closest companion.
• You are wisdom and truth. 
• In your presence is JOY.

Answers did not come flooding to me after journaling and prayer....in fact they still haven't come. But PEACE came. And that was what my small frame needed...not answers but peace.

So friends, if you find yourself in a similar place...think on God and His promises. And one day ALL THINGS will be set right. Heaven will be a glorious place.

To Know Him More,

Such a good day I decided to blog about it!

So, Today was your usual 105'+ sunny day! I was able to sleep a total of 13 hours last night and woke up feeling like a new woman. I wasn't feeling very well the past two days and I think a lot of it was just needing a good nights rest. After that long sweet glorious sleep I was able to start the day not feeling like a cranky pants!

What also made this day to fantastic is that everything is organized at the Compassion Kit Warehouse which has conveniently relocated itself (Technically we did the relocating!) to the Caubbles Crib! On Monday we caravanned  in a Honda Accord, Toyota Yaris, Darango, and Expedition and were able to transport all the full shippers to the Caubbles. Today, was all about organizing and what do ya know...we did it! Not to mention I found 33 phone cards and the folks who donated and filled compassion kits did a great job at filling them with all the basic items and then some! I appreciate it, FAMM appreciates it, and those who will receive the "LOVING GIFT WITH A COMPELLING MESSAGE" are thankful for it and will be changed for a lifetime through the Loving Message!

Thank you God for a wonderful day!
Jerri K.

So Little Words

I have moved from being intimidated and self-conscience of the fact that there is a language barrier between the ladies I am building relationships with to that being something I love about being here.

 A week or so ago while visiting with two beautiful ladies we laughed more than we talked. You see, the three of us are from three very different countries with three very different languages. This particular day between the, "What's" and the "huh's" we all looked at each other in realization of the obvious and began to laugh. We laughed for the better part of our hour long "conversation". When I would have to repeat, with my southern accent, what i said for the 3rd time and still receive a blank star in return we would just start laughing. It wasn't nervous laughter. It was laughter between three friends. It was great!

I prayed and asked my Father for wisdom and ears to understand the language barrier and He gives me laughter. I just love Him.

Laugh Out Loud,
Jerri K.

And So It Begins!

Today was day one of cleaning out my room at my mom and dad’s house. I found $21 and a lot of change, my favorite necklace charm that says “Expect a miracle “after about 3 years of being lost, and some really cute clothes I forgot I had! I was pretty pumped it was like early Christmas.
There is a really awesome story behind my favorite charm. My sister gave it to me in 2005 Just before I found out I was healed of an incurable disease. So it serves as a reminder to trust my heavenly Father. God’s promise is still true, that I can trust Him to provide for all my needs. How timely that I found it a month out from moving.
I also got to spend more family time with my Grandpa Bud at my Grandma’s surprise birthday party. Keep him in your prayers please. He is getting over a bad illness.

Peace!
Jerri K
