Welcome

If you are new to our site, this blog is sort of a hodge podge of our ministry and family life, and whatever else God lays on my heart to share. The Home Page above will link you to our Sufficient Grace Ministries page. You can read more about the 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization and the outreaches of this ministry whose mission is to offer comfort and hope to grieving parents. The Blog button brings you to the page you are currently reading, featuring a variety of subjects...some ministry updates, some family news, and some biblically-based encouragement. The Walking With You page is a place for bereaved parents who have lost a baby or child to find encouragement and hope. It is an online support group created so that families would know they are not walking this path alone. On the Dreams of You Shop page, you can learn more about the products and services we offer, place an order, or sponsor a family. The Encouraging Women blog is a work in progress. There, we hope to offer biblically-based encouragement to all women. The Resource page has been newly updated with a list of resources that are helpful for grieving parents. Our blogroll is also located on this page. Thank you so much for visiting our site. Blessings to you...

Show Some Love to My Friend Jennifer, Isaiah's Mommy...

I am so excited to share the story of Isaiah and this week's featured blogger, his beautiful mommy, Jennifer from His Grace is Sufficient with you on this week's Walking With You. But, first, I would like to remind you that the purpose of this segment of Walking With You is to encourage one another...so that all would know that they are not walking this path alone. I noticed participation was a little down last week, so I would just like to gently ask that you would please take just a few minutes to visit Jenny and leave her a word of support and/or encouragement. (Pleeeeaaase...=) It takes very little time, but means so much to a grieving heart.

Many of you may already know Jenny...please stop by and show her some love anyway! She has such a gentle spirit, and such a tender mother's heart. Plus, she has been faithful to "walk with me" in blogland...always encouraging me and so many others along the way. And for that, I am so grateful.

Jennifer's most recent post just blessed my soul this weekend. Please take a moment to read how the Lord whispered His love and comfort into her heart. Make sure to scroll down and read the post right before it, also, if you have time. You will see that God is truly working in her life. In going over to encourage her, you just might get encouraged yourself! (It often happens that way! I think it might be part of God's plan...as we show love to one another, we feel loved and encouraged.)

In her first blog post, Jenny shares some of her heart and the reason she chose her blog name:

Jennifer's words: I named my blog "His Grace Is Sufficient," because there is no way that I would be able to get through the day without Gods grace pouring over me. It says in
2 Corinthians 12:9, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
My daily focus is to look at what God has allowed in my life, and how can I bring Him the glory out of it. How can I take the loss of Isaiah's life and bring something beautiful out of it.



This post talks about the first steps on Jenny's journey...and tells the beginning of Isaiah's story. I encourage you to read more parts of her story if you have time...God has carried her on an amazing journey. And, He still carries her.

Thank you so much for taking the time to walk with other moms. Now, please go show sweet Jenny some love and remember her and her family in your prayers this week!

Have a blessed week...

Kelly, I have had the pleasure to read some of Jennifer's blog before, but plan to go over tonight and reread her recent posts. Hopefully I will also go and visit Elena. I have not been very good on getting on the computer this summer, but I just wanted to say how encouraging you are to me and to others. I know how much time it takes to read through posts and then comment on those you are highlighting. What a blessing you are to many!

May the Lord bless you with a wonderful day!

XOXO Karen
