In the account of Noah's Ark, found in Genesis 5-10, God gives Noah a sign; a rainbow, His covenant to all men that he would never again flood the entire earth. The word covenant is used in scripture over 270 times, the word promise is used over 100 times. When we are in the midst of a trial in our lives, sometimes it is the hardest time to recall the promises of God; however, this is the time when it is most important to remember what God has promised to us, especially if you are His child.

Something I have found to be a huge blessing to me, is really studying the message of hymns or biblicaly inspired songs that we sing, or hear on the radio on a daily/weekly basis. It is my hope to use this blog as a way of sharing the lyrics to songs that have been a blessing to me, and how they have blessed me and reminded me of a promise given by God, and in turn be a blessing to others.

To my faithful prayer partners & readers

I just want to thank you all who were praying for me while I was in Japan. I definitely couldn't have done it without the knowledge that I was being prayed for, and that God was with me. I know that God has a reason for my being back in the States unexpectedly, and that He has a reason for the mere month I was in Japan. I feel that I have learned a lot about God's character, my relationship with Him, and my-self & my reactions to trials through it all. I would like to continue keeping a blog, just to share things that God has been teaching me, funny stories, encouragements, etc. I'm still trying to figure out if I should just change the name of this one, or start a whole new one? When it happens I will let you know!!

Thanks again,
Love in Christ,
Jenn

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering... James 1:2-6a
