This is so hard to share. I never thought I’d be sharing a post like this. Friends, I can’t pretend like everything‘s been okay. Social media can make it seem that everything is great when it's not. There's no easy way to say what I have to say, so here it goes...My life has been in turmoil. I have been living in the darkest place these last two years. I have experienced devastation words can’t describe. Betrayal by my best friend and love of my life hurts to the deepest place of the heart. There have been days when I just wanted Jesus to take me home. That’s the best way for me to describe this deep hurt. I desperately wanted to be in a place without tears, pain, and suffering. A divorce is never something I imagined, but that’s what it’s come to. This is my reality, I am divorced. I have not been able to say anything until now because I have been mentally and emotionally drained. Shock, anger, confusion, and sadness have been overwhelming me. I am doing so much better now as I’m learning to rest in the Lord, and trust that He is with me in this place. He is holding me and sustaining me. I’m healing and moving forward, and trusting that He will provide day by day for all my needs. A lot is changing, but my main goal in life remains the same, to share God‘s word and tell of the faithful love of Jesus. I look forward to sharing with you more of the goodness and mercy He has shown me during this time. If like me, you also are walking through a dark time and Jesus lives in your heart, I want to encourage you that you have never been alone, not one single moment. He is with you, my friend, and He is always faithful. If you have never asked Jesus to come into your heart, take time to invite Him in. He will be a constant source of love and comfort. And He will give you hope to continue on. "I will never leave you nor forsake you". So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear...". Hebrews 13:5-6 If you are seeing this through my Facebook link, please don’t comment on the post, as what I’ve shared is very sensitive. I would love to hear from you but please direct message me on Facebook or send an email by scrolling down and pressing contact at the bottom of this page. I really appreciate your love, support and prayers for both me and my family in this time. ❤️Jenny Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me... Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:4,6

How are your devotion times? However this looks for you, whether they are already meaningful, or you desire to experience more heartfelt devotions, I pray this will encourage you. Today, I'd like to share 5 helpful ways to make your devotion time full of purpose. 5 ways to have meaningful devotion times: #1 Choose: You must make a choice to spend time with the Lord. If you don't purpose in your heart to spend time with Him your day will fill up with other activities. Choose to dedicate part of your day to spend alone, just the two of you. You will also need to choose a passage of scripture or a devotional book that uses plenty of scripture. I go back and forth with both of these. Preferably, I like using devotionals that others have already taken time to prepare. This helps my times be more focused. There are many devotional books available, with many topics. Be prayerful about choosing one that will be best for your life at the time. #2 Prepare: Before you meet with the Lord take a few minutes to prepare your heart. If your heart is distracted, in a hurry or not in the right place, you can miss what God is desiring to do. One way to prepare is to recognize who you are meeting with. You are meeting with a King; And not only a king but the King of kings. At times you might not feel worthy to come into His presence. Remember that you come to Him wearing a robe of righteousness that Jesus purchased for you at the cross. You can come boldly to His throne of grace at all times (Hebrews 4:16). #3 Pray: You have a King that listens and responds to the cry of your heart. Come to Him with a desire to see His will accomplished in your life and the lives of those around you. Wow, and how amazing to think your prayers can affect, not only those around you, but the whole world. #4 Read: God's word is alive (Hebrews 4:12)! When you open the Bible be ready to be transformed. Billy Graham wrote: "Reading God's word and meditating in its truth will have a purifying effect upon your mind and heart, and will be demonstrated in your life. Let nothing take the place of this daily privilege." #5 Believe: Believing what God's word says is more than intellectual. The word must go from your mind to your heart. This will happen as you slow down and take time to meditate on God's word during the day. How important it is to think it through, seeking how it can be applied to your daily life. Application is the key. I pray that these 5 ways are helpful to you and you are encouraged to spend daily time with your King. There is nothing better than being in His presence.
