A Life In Bloom
I cannot go one day without stopping and admiring the beautiful daffodils in my yard. They tell me a story of hope, transformation and things to come. Since they came in bloom this spring, I have not been able to keep my eyes off them, I have to pause and...
Reflection
I see my reflection in the water.... I see my eyes, eyes that have left tears running down my cheeks but also eyes that have seen many blessings. Eyes that have seen the goodness of God and His transforming love. As the waves crash I see my reflection break apart....
You will be filled.
Do you hunger and thirst for more of Him? Do you hunger to hear His voice? Blessed are you, for you will be filled. Do you hunger and thirst for a different way of living? A way of walking in righteousness and holiness when the world around you is dark and evil?...
There is beauty in brokenness.
As I sat alone in prayer God whispered to me, “There is beauty in your brokenness.” And as I sat there with a heavy heart and tears running down my cheeks I began to think about those words. I thought about how my pain led me to salvation. That in a time of complete...
Come undone.
She comes undone in His presence. She brings Him every raw messy piece of her heart. He is her refuge, her strong tower of safety and she knows she doesn’t have to hide. She knows that when she comes undone in His presence she is really being put back together. She...
He is love.
His love. There is nothing like it. His love will seek you out and find you. And once it finds you, it will never let go. His love is everlasting, from your first breath, to your last and beyond. His love is enduring. There is no comparing to it. His love will welcome...
Stop looking back, dear one.
Stop looking behind you, dear one. Stop looking back to all of the mistakes you made in the past. Stop looking at all the things you wish you could change. Stop replaying past situations in your mind with regret and sorrow. Stop striving so hard. The old you is gone....
Sweet girl.
Dear Sweet Girl, When I look into your eyes I see innocence, wonder and beauty. Stay that way my sweet one. Stay pure in a world that will want to lead you into darkness. Stay full of wonder and in awe of our miraculous God. Stay hopeful and protect that beautiful...
Saved by grace.
I can be very hard on myself as a mom. I can also be very hard on myself as a follower of Christ. I have days when I don't have any patience. I have days where I say things I wish I hadn't. I have days were I am easily annoyed and sigh a lot. Much like Paul wrote, I...
Lord, start with me.
Lord, start with me. Change me. Change my heart. Give me more compassion. Help me to pour out the kind of grace I would want. Let me be the first to apologize Let me choose to speak life not death. Start with me, within my own home. Let me re-examine my own attitude...
My hiding place.
He is my hiding place. He is where I run to. Where I let the harshness of the world fall at my side and find rest in the easiness of His yoke. I rest in His presence and He renews me. When my burdens are are too heavy to carry, He lifts them from me. I escape the...
hello,
I am Jennifer, and I am so happy to have you join me here at A Heart Full of Hope!
I started my blog in 2020 after a dear friend encouraged me to start writing. I kept a prayer journal for years, and those prayers and notes turned into my first blog posts. I have found so much joy in writing about my faith journey, and I hope that my words help encourage other women to seek God above all else.
