People are in a fury to prepare their taxes for tomorrow. They are scurrying around making sure each line is filled in appropriately and the proper documentation is available if needed. There are exemptions that can be taken if you qualify for them on your taxes.

Even though I am a Christ follower, I will still experience sorrow, pain, sadness, and hurt, I am not exempt. The difference between myself and a non-Christ follower, I have the power of Jesus Christ to overcome the situations and circumstances that come into my life. Many times the overcoming is a process and a path Jesus takes me on.

Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting a gracious woman who had prayed for her husband for many years. She had loved him, honored him and watched him almost destroy his life. He told me how God took him to the edge of death and gave him the opportunity to see how he was living. He gave his life to Christ and has followed him for a year now.

His wife had a copy of “The Power of a Praying Woman” with her. The cover was worn and tattered and the pages were coming loose from the book. She shared with me how she had prayed this book over her husband and how it had changed her life.

For the next 31 days, including Saturday and Sunday, I will be blogging from The Power of a Praying Woman by Stormie Omartian. Join me as I examine different areas of my life.

1. I have never ever been to Niagara Falls. I really want to go sometime.

2. My parents decided to name me Jennifer after watching the movie Love Story. I’ve never seen it because they told me it wasn’t a movie with good morals. Everyone makes mistakes, even parents.

3. My second toe is longer than my Big toe.

4. I love headbands and pretty things to put in my hair. Especially by Black Bird Blue.

5. If I am not wearing my rainbows I will probably be wearing my Monkey slippers.

6. There are five projects I am working on in my garage right now! I love taking something that looks like trash and making it look great. Jesus did this with me.

7. One of my dreams is to travel Europe for a month riding the Eurorail.

8. I don’t like any kind of turnip greens, mustard greens or the like. I know I live in the south, but Yuck!

9. When buying clothes, I don’t usually try them on at the store. I take them home and try them on. I don’t really care for dressing rooms.

10. I cherish my family and revel in the moments I get to spend with them.
