A Special Message to YOU from Jennie Allen, author of ‘Anything’

Hi new friends-
I am so humbled to get to join your beautiful tribe this summer and process scripture and God and our souls. It has shocked me how common all of our struggles and dreams really are.

I wanted to introduce myself to you. My name is Jennie. You are about to know me a little too well. I shudder to think how much of my soul is tucked in the pages you are about to read. And like all souls, mine is often a mess. But this is part of my anything. I’ll go first – baring the truth of my sin and the beauty of my God.

Because Angela and I have prayed for all of you and the many lives that could be reached through you. When I wrote Anything, I pictured friends huddled around tables being so honest about their doubts and faith and fears. We have also prayed that this would reach past the walls of the church into neighborhoods and offices and college campuses and overseas, to women who you think may need God.

We are asking you to pray about who you know that may not consider themselves a Christ follower but may want to join you and process faith and God in a safe way.

Dream out of the box and let’s see what happens. I am with you, on my knees for you and jumping up and down about to explode with excitement at what God is already doing through Angela and her team in this beautiful spot. This is a very unique work of God.

Oh and here are my people. Zac, Conner, Kate, Caroline and Cooper.

We live in Austin, Texas- the land of indie bands and the very best queso.

Come say hi- I spend way too much time in these three places:

Thankful to be in this with you.

Why don’t we end by praying for your people. Share one name (first name only) of a friend that may need an honest safe place to process faith. And let’s all pray for these names in the coming weeks.

{Powerful Testimony} The God of Hope

I love it when God’s Word becomes alive, when you hear stories or experience first hand the truth of God’s Word. Romans 15:13 came alive to me yesterday as I watched the following video. I wasn’t planning on doing another blog post this weekend…..but I felt compelled to share this story with you since we have been talking about hope this past week, the hope that Christ brought into our broken world so many years ago.

Personally, I’ve been following Michelle and AJ’s story thru a family member who had called a few months back asking me to pray for them. My heart broke as I heard the diagnosis of their unborn daughter, and as a mother to 3 little girls and my own experience of losing my first child through miscarriage, my heart and mind could barely comprehend what they might be going through. All I could do was pray…and so I did.

What touched me as I watched this video was the testimony of AJ and Michelle as they shared how they had to change their view of hope and what hope really is….that this world is broken but because of Christ, they have the hope of heaven and all this hurt, all this brokenness will one day be gone. I had an “aha moment” when Michelle shared how she finally came to a point of surrender and trust, and through her choice of surrendering and trusting, she found peace.

“May the God of HOPE fill you with JOY and PEACE as you TRUST in Him, so that you may overflow with HOPE by the power of the Holy Spirit.”- Romans 15:13

Are you seeing it? The connection between what AJ and Michelle experienced and what Romans 15:13 states? We serve a God of HOPE, a God who holds a better tomorrow in His hands. A God who fills us with joy and peace when we open up our lives, our hands and TRUST Him. When we surrender. When we turn our eyes upward and focus on eternity…..the hope that we have in Him.

“We are to be grateful and joyful people because we have such an immovable, fantastic hope. True joy is setting your heart on unmovable objects. There are only two unmovable objects that I know of…God and heaven.”- Jennie Allen

It seems to me God really hasn’t changed much in 2,000 years, He still loves to do miracles through infants and mothers who surrender their lives to Him.

All Glory to God!

Love God Greatly!
