In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah

"You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
For this people's heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them"

Worrying; to do or not to do?

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you have little faith? So do not worry, saying 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Wow, I don't even know where to start today! "WORRYING" hummm...... this should have been a huge part of my name! I worry about everything as everyone who knows me knows. However, the thing I worry about mostly is money! Why? To be honest, I am not sure why? God has always blessed us when times become a little scary, but yet, I still find myself questioning how are we going to make, how are we going to keep feeding our family, how are we going to pay our bills, how are we going to be able to take care of the girls?!!! Silly isn't it?! Here is a scary realization; we ALL do it! At one time or another in our life, we all worry about something and we shouldn't! God tells us NOT to worry because he will always take care of us, so why can't we listen, trust, and honor him?!
My goal from here on out is to put my faith in my heavenly Father! Trust him to take my worries and provide for me and my family the way he feels is necessary. He has yet to let me down, but I still let him down by worrying everyday! Jesus, taught me about worrying and now it is time for me to use his lesson in my life! JENNIFER LEE FOLEY, STOP WORRYING!!!!!

Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord. But I tell you, Do not swear at all; either by heaven, for it is God's throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black . Simply let your "Yes" be "Yes," and your "No" be "No"; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
I married one of God's greatest men; on July 29, 2006 and his name is, Nelson Neil Foley! Was I afraid, yes....but am I now, NO! God couldn't have blessed me with a better man! We have had our trying times and probably time where we both wanted to give up and walk away, but no matter what, we have kept strong and worked through it. Life has thrown ALOT of life changing curve balls at us, especially me, but no matter what Neil has been there to walk beside me through it all! He has kept me strong when I felt weak, he has kept me calm when I felt overwhelmed, he has giving me a reason for happiness when I could find it..... he has been my heart, my soul, my life even when I may have not wanted him to be! He has loved me even when I couldn't find reasons to love myself. He has been my husband and has honored his vows to me in every way, shape, and form! And these are the reasons why I am proud to say I am married to Nelson Neil Foley! Thank you for that! I love you <3

New changes have started today!!!!

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened"
The Lord has opened a new door to my life and I can't express how amazing I feel right now! I have been offered a job at family preservation for this school year, however it may take a while to get the whole process completed. So, until then I am planning on continuing at Garden City but moving to 3rd grade. This is a decision that has been weighing me down and causing a lot of negative stress because I LOVED my previous job, especially the person I worked under!!! I was so afraid of how this person would react towards my decision, I worried about her hating me, being disappointed in me...etc! But I needed to do what was right for me and for my family, so accepting my new position and soon to be new job is something I am going to do with no more fears or worries! I am going to do it with happiness and excitement and pray that others will do so with me! With all that said, I praise God for allowing me, my family, and all my amazing friends to wake up on this beautiful Tuesday!

Something changed inside of me today

I don't even know where to start or how to explain what I am feeling right now! I just feel the need to allow others to partake in the transformation of my spiritual life. I have been a lost soul on this earth for two years now due to the loss of my mother and the loss of my faith. This is not what I want any more....
I want to sing, dance, smile, laugh,...... I want to be happy! I want to love myself again, to love my mother again and stop blaming the both of us for something that can not be change! I can not do this until I forgive myself and my mother and ask God to please take all my sadness, tears, heartaches, angry away from me! I am done with Lord so I ask you to please take it away and allow me to enjoy the life that you have truly blessed me with!
This is just the beginning........everyday I will be posting the changes I have made in my life and also how this positive changes will effect my family, friends, and myself. But remember I need you help!
