hello ladies
Thanks for taking the time to stop by my home on the web. I thought I’d take the time to let you know who the woman behind the blog is.
I pray that anything I post – it will be used for God’s glory.
The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down. - Proverbs 14:1
I get asked A LOT to share it but I feel that my podcast is continually sharing what I have been saved from – my sins and how I am being sanctified, a lifelong journey.
More important than my testimony is the GOSPEL. And a huge part of my testimony is how I grew up and went into adulthood…into my 30’s believing a FALSE GOSPEL.
I would have NEVER admitted it because I didn’t see it clearly when I was “in it” but I believed a WORKS BASED SALVATION. 100%.
It all started with watching @american_gospel … And in February 2021, I was wrecked…humbled under the weight of God’s Holiness. I repented of A LOT of things and haven’t been the same since.
True faith “embraces Jesus Christ…and seeks nothing more besides Him,” since “those who possess Jesus Christ through faith have complete salvation in Him [John 5:24]. Therefore, for any to assert that Christ is not sufficient, but that something more is required besides Him, would be too gross a blasphemy; for hence it would follow that Christ was but half a Savior. Therefore we justly say with Paul, that we are justified by faith alone [Romans 3:28],” which means God forgives all our sins and accepts us righteous, because Christ’s perfect obedience and sacrifice on the cross in our place is our righteousness before God [Psalm 32:1; Romans 4:6] (BC, article 22). – Grace Reformed Church
The details of my vile wretched sins are not needed. But I can tell you that my sin was GREAT and I was a professing Christian. I was a false convert. I was a liar. I was heavily deceived. A dead woman speaking Christian lingo and trying to “keep” my salvation. I was sooooooo deceived, so wrong, so wicked, so deep in sin.
Christ, by HIS GRACE, in His kindness saved me. I am truly different. My husband – who does not agree with my Theology, testifies to the change in me. He sees the good fruit being produced. Our marriage has been transformed. ALL GLORY TO GOD.
I went from being self-centered to praying the Lord would empty me of myself.
My desires have changed. My view of sin has changed. I am a new woman in the Lord – all for HIS PURPOSE AND GLORY.
OUR FAMILY est.2008
Jacob & Jill
My husband, my very best friend, and I met in Bible College. We were married in 2008. We have had a roller coaster marriage but Oh friends – the grace of God is so powerful. He has restored unto us the most beautiful love and commitment to one another. I can only refer to it as some kind of miracle – by the power and love of Christ. He has changed the wife I am and it has made all the difference in our marriage.
Our Babies
Jacob and I have 5 precious children: only 2 are living, our 3 other babes are with Christ.
Kaydi, Jamie, Presley, Shiloh, and baby Magnolia.
We have also been foster parents and will forever love those children and pray for them.
We are praying to adopt in the future – a daily prayer – A deep desire of our hearts.
Our Family Mission
We love and serve Christ – we’re devoted to raising our children to know the Lord.
We Homeschool and sacrifice to make this happen. We know education is extremely important but their knowledge of Scripture is even more important – we are using MasterBooks.
Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.
Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”
