There are only 21 days left before Christmas! 

The question for you today is:

What's your favorite Christmas song and hymn? 

My favorite Christmas song would be Carol of the bells! I love that song! I still don't know all of the words, but I do love it! 

My favorite Christmas hymn would be "Thou Didst Leave thy Throne." Not many people seem to know this song. It's a good one! At our former church when we picked favorites to sing, I picked this one and hardly anyone knew it, not even the song leader! Have you heard this song before? 




"Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne" was written in 1864 by Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliot. As I was researching this hymn for fun, I found a post that Paul Tripp wrote about the song and I really liked what he had to say, so I thought I would share:


"It's an amazing story, one that becomes no less amazing with every retelling: the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords leaves the splendor of glory to come to a shattered earth to suffer and die for self-oriented rebels. 

The Messiah is not born in a palace, but in a stable. He lives his life as a pilgrim, denied a small luxury even animals enjoy-a home (see Matthew 8:20). He is despised and rejected, then subjected to a bloody and painful crucifixion. 

Christ does all this intentionally and willingly so that those rebels will be forgiven, so that those separated from God will have a home with him forever, and so that grace will be supplied to people in desperate need of it."

Our 2nd miscarriage

          Christmas 2017 will always be a day to remember.  That day was filled with so much sorrow and yet I received the best gift ever. What? How is that possible?  Grab a cup of coffee and let me share our story with y’all. Our Baby's precious name        When Scott and I knew that we were expecting, we had a wave of many different emotions. We experienced great happiness, joy, fear, worry, and the unknown future of this precious baby. I wanted to be prepared as we had experienced a miscarriage before. Read about our first miscarriage here if you haven’t already:     http://jenny-s-journey.blogspot.com/2015/05/miscarriage.html?m=1 .   I knew that God was the only one who could see the future life of this baby. God would know how many days or weeks the baby would grow, if the baby would make it full term, and if there would be  any compilations. I didn’t want to have to experience another miscarriage, this has been a fear of mine for a while. However,

Our 1st Miscarriage

The Story of our 1st miscarriage with Baby Nutter I am ready to share my story about having a miscarriage. They say there is healing in sharing.  What is every little girls dream? To grow up one day, get married, and have a baby. The day came when I got married, I couldn't wait to start a family! With much prayer Scott and I thought we were ready to start a family. We  had been trying for awhile and it didn't even seem hopeful. Every-time that   time of the month came around I would be sad that it didn't happen, time and time again. After what seemed like forever, I gave up on that dream of being a mom.  ~The day we found out our happy news~       I remember the day that we found out we were expecting. It was in the very beginning of December. I had finally talked my husband into letting me buy a test. He did not want me to be disappointed again. I was so nervous to even take the test even thought I was certain this time! I had waited long enough and the time

Blogmas Post #3 There are only 22 days left until  Christmas!  The question for you today is:  Do you have an ornament that's special to you personally or as a married couple?  I love decorating the tree each year, its one of my favorite things to do! I looked at all our ornaments to see which one was the most special to us, I found two of them!  The first one is this ornament. It was given to us as a wedding gift. I ordered a picture small enough to fit in it.  The second one is this ornament. It came from my most favorite store in the whole world!!!!! If you aren't from Michigan, you probably have no idea what store I am talking about. Michigan is known for many things, one of them being a Christmas town with the world's largest Christmas store! If you ever go to Michigan, I encourage you to go to the town of Frankenmuth! While there, go and visit Bronner's, it's the Worlds largest Christmas store! They have every ornament you could
