Hey hey hey
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! The other day my kids asked me “Mom, what’s going to be your New Years results?” Lil’ Corn asked me “You mean, my New Years resolutions?” “Yeah!” Elsie shouted out “Wait, it doesn’t matter because adults always make resolutions and they never keep them!”, replied lil’ corn. But as I thought about it, what were my resolutions going to be? Last year was nice but with a new year doesn’t the thought of an upgrade sound spectacular. Well, I am hoping and praying a few things do get upgraded this year for my family but in the mean time, I plan on focusing on what I know was good for me last year that I can bring into this year. And that was Jesus!! He was really good to me last year! Sometime last year, I came across Jen’s blog at prayerfulplanner.com and since then I’ve been hooked. Although I haven’t purchased an actual planner from her yet ( I really plan on using hers this year), I have taken advantage of her monthly scripture writing worksheets. Because I subscribe to her blog, each month I receive a newsletter along with two freebies, the scripture writing worksheet and planning stickers page. This scripture writing has allowed me to get into Gods word daily and with the daily journal prompt, I’m also able to reflect on the verse I’ve read and written out. This is a perfect add on to my daily devotion time. Why am I telling you about Jen’s blog?? Uh 🙄 Duh! I want you to click the link below (there’s no commitment to subscribe but you should), download the scripture writing worksheet for January and join me on the journaling journey!! All you have to do it take 15 mins out of your day, look up the scripture, write it out and answer the journal prompt. “But, my days are just so busy, Jess! I’m going to be honest with you, I just don’t have the time to sit and write. “ I know, I know but you need to make time!!! Get up 15 mins earlier( if you do and it works .. let me know how that works out for you, nope haven’t mastered that skill yet, lol 😆) and have your quiet time then. I myself still get up a few times in the night with a 2 year old so my early mornings are more like late mornings. So my day may look like this 5:45 up with my older kids, dressed and ready for school 6:30 they are out the door and I will sit, pray, read a devotional (then my eyes will fall asleep) 7am the baby and I take a little nap 12:30-1:00 nap time for the baby and Just Jesus and Jess time begins This is where I bring out my bibles(yes I have a few versions, journals, color pencils, pens, stickers), turn on some music and get into His word. “Well, I’m not a stay at home mom like you and get to doodle in my Bible all day.” I know!!! How about at the end of the day. after the kids have gone to sleep. Grab you a cup of tea, hot chocolate, or coffee(that would be me), your bible, a notebook (I know you have some lying around) and some color pencils. And here’s what we’re going to do!! I’m going to post every Wednesday my thoughts on the scripture. Jess, it’s already day 6, we would have to play catch up!! This is your journey, I haven’t started myself( the kids go back tomorrow ... it’s going to be on like donkey Kong) but I will either skip a few sheets and start with day 6. Or I will catch up on the weekends or just start with day one today and I will probably end up finishing in February!! Join me here on Wednesday, January 8th and we will discuss that days scripture. So go ahead and download your scripture worksheet today.

Jessica ReneeHey gals (and guys)!! I'm Jessica, but my friends call me Jess. I'm a believer of Jesus Christ, the one who was born of a virgin, was beaten and bruised for my sins and then on one bright sunny Sunday(those are my favorite days), He rose from the dead for my sins. I'm a wife to this loving, caring and extra silly guy named Cornelius and the mom to Cornelius and lil miss Elsie & lady Priscilla. I hope and pray that this blog will encourage you as you "intentionally" seek Jesus Christ to be the head of your life. So grab your laptop(iPad, phone, etc.), a cup of coffee(or tea) your favorite blanket curl up on the couch and let's chat, cause girl I have some stories to share with you!!! Archives
