Not a Victim

Jennifred Jones

I will not be a victim. I choose to step away from the path of disempowerment.

God has given me choice.

  • Choice what to think.
  • Choice whom to be around.
  • Choice to take back a mistake.
  • Choice to move away from bad situations.
  • Choice to make new and better friends.
  • Choice to ask myself hard questions.
  • Choice to do the hard but better thing.
  • Choice whose voices I’ll listen to.
  • Choice to think if what I’m hearing is really true.
  • Choice to choose what I think is best for me.

I take full responsibility for my life and the results of my choices.

  • I choose to read and learn and study and grow.
  • I choose to take better care of me.
  • I choose to start with one small step.
  • I choose to start today.
  • I choose not to be a victim.

What If I Wanted to Know…

Jennifred Jones

What if I wanted to know but no one told me?

What if I wanted to know how to read, but no one taught me?

What if I wanted to know about cooking and finding good food, but no one showed me.

What if I wanted to know about exercise and working out, but no one would coach me.

This list could go on and on. Think of all the years wasted when helpful development could be happening in formative years.

What if I wanted to know but no one told me? … about God…

What if someone could have told me when I was growing up there is a God, not a religious god, but one who is real, the one who really did make the universe and all it contains, (including me), who sees everything and is watchful over me, who loves me, is truly interested in everything I do and think, who wants to remove all my guilt and shame, provide for my needs, make me brand new in my mind – free of worry and fear. Who wants me to understand how to do life on this earth, who wants me to grow up clean with no guilt-ridden past holding me hostage, who wants me to have meaningful relationships and even a family???

What if someone had told me, because I really wanted to know, but…

Where could I have been today?

Do not despair. God is still alive and knows just where you are. His name is Jesus and He wants you to be part of his family.

Talk to Him about you. He will talk to you about Him.

God’s Healing You

Jennifred Jones

We all need to be healed…healed of something – physical or otherwise.

God often heals us while we’re asleep…sleeping. We don’t realize or know He’s doing the work at the time, but so often that’s how it happens.

When my kids were growing up and got sick, I’d put them to bed and pray they would have a nice healing sleep. That has been many years ago. Recently, I was praying for one of them -all grown up now (unbeknownst to them); I’d prayed as I went to bed and the next morning the whole prayer came to mind again. I remembered them and remembered God, and a peace came over me that God was healing them (unbeknownst to them – they didn’t know Mom had prayed for them). Yes God, who made them would heal them too and He would heal them as they slept.

I guess you could say that’s how God sometimes operates on us to make us better.

It comforted me.

Have you experienced this?
