HE CALLS YOU BY NAME

Sometimes when reading through Scripture, I like to put my name into the verses. Putting our own names into the verses helps us feel that personalized connection with Scripture and helps our brain see that the words were meant for us; that the Bible isn't distant but meant yet it is for us.

He Calls You By Name is a personalized devotional experience that weaves your own name throughout Scripture. You get to choose your devotional, then personalize it with your name -or the name of someone you are gifting the devotional to.

I love this precious little book. Seeing a new Scripture every day with my name touches my heart. Verses like:

The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,

will guard Jenifer's heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:7

Though Jenifer walks in the midst of trouble, the

Lord will revive her; He will stretch out His hand

against the anger of his enemies, and His right

hand will save her.

Psalm 138:7

This would make a wonderful gift for a graduate, for Mother's Day, or for those June weddings (they have a couples option). It would also be great to gift to someone who deals with anxiety or stress, they can put it at their bedside and see the words and promises of God meant for them.

These reminders of how personal God's Word is for each and every one of us are incredible. You can find out more about He Calls You By Name by clicking HERE.

If you were to find an original copy of Pride and Prejudice or Wuthering Heights, you would likely hold it gently in your hands, running your fingers down the spine, breathing in the beauty of years gone by.

HE CALLS ME DAUGHTER, NOW ON ANGEL

Fatherhood is important. Fatherhood matters. Some of us have really good fathers, yet, unfortunately some of us have fathers that are either absent or he was there physically but not emotionally.

Our earthly father, or lack of, is our first experience with a man who is supposed to be a safe, loving, and a kind teacher. Someone we can turn to and trust. Someone who shapes our entire lives, whether for the positive or negative. 80% of what women believe about themselves comes from their fathers.

Whether you had a good father or absent father, our souls yearn for our Heavenly Father. A Heavenly Father changes everything.

In the new documentary, He Calls Me Daughter, we are invited into the pain and joy with women as they vulnerably share their stories of lives with their earthly fathers and how it shaped their lives, as well as they share the healing that came with finding their Heavenly Father. True healing isn’t found in earthly relationships, but a relationship with our heavenly Father.

This documentary was so good. I loved hearing the stories of women who even when they lacked a loving earthly father, even when their pain was great, they looked to their Heavenly Father and God has worked miracle after miracle in their lives.

Whether you had a good father or not, this documentary is for you. If you are a father, this documentary is for you. He Calls Me Daughter is now on Angel! The Angel Guild is a streaming platform for deeply personal, healing-centered stories rooted in faith. And when you get a membership to the Angel Guild you'll be able to watch He Calls Me Daughter, an emotional and spiritual film, especially for women navigating father wounds and those seeking restoration through their relationship with God. Plus you will get thousands of other faith based documentaries, movies, and shows. The Angel Guild is the streaming service you want for your family. To check it out, click HERE.

GOD IS NOT AN "OR" GOD

Several years ago I was praying and asking God to work is a few areas. Then I followed the prayer with, "But if I can only have one, please answer the first need." Wait. What!?

God nudged me and said, "Jenifer, I am not an 'or' God."

Don’t worry about anything, but in everything,

through prayer and petition with thanksgiving,

present your requests to God.

Philippians 4:6

VALLEY LESSONS

The Lord is my shepherd; I have
what I need. He lets me lie

down in green pastures; He leads

me beside quiet waters. He renews my life; He
leads me along the right paths for His name’s sake.

Even when I go through the darkest valley,
I fear no danger, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff—they comfort
me. You prepare a table before me in the
presence of my enemies; You anoint my
head with oil; my cup overflows. Only
goodness and faithful love will pursue me
all the days of my life, and I will dwell in
the house of the Lord as long as I live.
Psalm 23 CSB

We've all walked through a valley. Many of us are walking through valleys right now.

Valleys of debt, health crisis, fear, anxiety, grief, broken relationships, loneliness, wayward child, and much more. We often feel like the valley will go on forever, there is no end in sight. We just want to see a glimmer of hope, something to show us the valley will end.
