About

By
My name is Jennifer Joy and the writer of Blessed Quietness.*  

The aim of this blog is to encourage you as you walk with Christ. The posts are for the sole purpose of pointing you to Him and providing an avenue where you can focus on the Word. Life is not always easy and it helps to have others pray, remind us of Scripture, or quietly listen as we work through our struggles and eagerly embrace our joys.

May we grow in Christ together.  I invite you to join me as we focus on who He is and pursue a relationship with the God of the Universe. There is no greater joy than getting to know our Savior better and inviting others to come along on this journey. 

Blessings,

Jennifer Joy


Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

I was walking through the kitchen one day when the one terrier upon seeing the other, decided that this was her time to shine and leave her mark. The pearly whites of her teeth began to gleam as she lifted her lip in utter disdain and latched on to her "companion" and would not let go. The usual verbal threats masked in the growling and snarling were not part of this fight; however, the sheer determination to defeat the opponent and win were certain. To say that I was concerned was an understatement. After quite a while of trying to pry the dogs apart and loosen the clenched teeth without success, I finally blurted out, "Jesus, help us!" It was at this exact moment that the one d

Common Ground: The Road Less Traveled
