Guilt, Gratefulness and Marriage ~ A Testimony of Faith
Recently, Kev and I were on a mini getaway and on our last evening as we sipped our final glass of red wine, 🍷 we began to “dissect” this life of ours and how we managed to get here. We found it funny to look back on the journey we’ve been on together and some […]
Scattered
At 6:30am on Tuesday, January 10th, 2017, I received a phone call that would ultimately rock my world and change my life forever.“Jen”, Kevin said calmly into the phone, “Robyn is in the hospital, I don’t know any details but you need to call Scott right away”. Shock, disbelief, panic set in immediately and then […]
Obedience ~ My Path to Peace
For months now, God has been laying it on my heart to write about obedience. I would come up with new blog post ideas and He would tell me, “no, Jen, I want you to write about obedience”. It was so annoying! He kept on me over and over…So, what did I choose to do? […]

Time to be REAL!
Forgive me blog followers, it has been 5 months since my last Heartwork post. I last wrote a week or so after my girlfriend tragically passed away in April. Since that time, a lot has transpired in my spiritual life and I honestly wasn’t sure what I would write about next or if I had […]

Beautiful in HIM!
I’m so pale, I have got to lose 10 pounds before summer, I’m having a bad hair day, I don’t have anything to wear, I look old…the list goes on and on. Does this sound familiar? Over analyzing myself and finding personal flaws is something I do on a fairly regular basis, but not nearly […]
Life’s A Dance
While I was taking my walk today, my Pandora kept me guessing with everything from Michael Jackson to Pink to Christian Rap and then a country song, that I had never heard before came on and it just blew me away! “Life’s a Dance” by John Michael Montgomery was the title and in the song […]
Embracing our inner “Eve”
“Mom, what do you think Eve looked like?” That is the question that one of my kids asked me when we were eating lunch after church yesterday afternoon. We had just heard a sermon about suffering and God’s place in the suffering that we are all inevitably faced with in this life. Naturally, Adam and […]
Woman in Progress
I like to drink wine, I say 4 letter words, I partake in silly gossip, I watch some TV shows and movies that are not rated PG-13 and I LOVE Jesus! I can be lazy, judgmental and wear my grumpy face on my sleeve and I LOVE JESUS!Some people might say that this would make […]
