Faith

Life hasn't always been easy or happy, but there have been so many overwhelming and powerful moments of joy that have only been possible because of my faith.

Since we all struggle I share stories when I'm able that I hope encourage others and help carry you through hard times.  Because of Jesus there is always hope.

While I really focus on sharing recipes here on my website when people want to know more about me, the recipe creator you can come here for some more depth and inspiration.

Why Should I Go To Church?

by Jennifer @ Plowing Through Life

why should i go to church

I’ve been offended going to church with my husband.  He’s been offended at the church I used to go to.  We’re not often offended by the messages, it’s typically the people. They say and do some of the darnedest things to unintentionally turn us away.  We could list the wrongs and find people to rally…

Worrying About the Mud Hole

by Jennifer @ Plowing Through Life

mud hole

The Little Farmer has come to me many times in the past few days to discuss this mud hole in the driveway. The primary concern is that people will think the muddy area is part of the driveway. After all there are tire tracks visible in the wet soil, so somebody (other than him) clearly…

Give Yourself A Gift

by Jennifer @ Plowing Through Life

Hello.  I got some really nice encouragement from a couple people at church this morning.  Genuine encouragement, from people I don’t necessarily talk to every week.  The message was something to the effect that I’m making a positive difference in their life by being who I am and doing what I do.
