Shine Speak Life. Give Courage. Bless. An unwelcome, transforming teacher. May 11, 2015. May 12, 2015. A wave of panic swept over me and I glanced around to find the nearest exit. I was trapped. Duty called. I needed to stay, greet the speaker, thank my friend for the invitation, and kindly say good-bye to those I had met in the moments prior to the tears, the dam and the panic. Much of the world seeks to provide a way out of the waters of pain. We are provided with all kinds of apparatus to avoid pa...

The grace of pain – Cari Jenkins
https://carijenkins.wordpress.com/2015/01/07/the-grace-of-pain
Shine Speak Life. Give Courage. Bless. The grace of pain. January 7, 2015. Two words immediately came to mind as I reflected on 2014; grace and pain. These two words do not normally coexist. For this past year and honestly for the past four, I have experienced such depths of grace my life will never look the same. The grace however came in the most unexpected package. The grace came in pain. As I enter 2015, I am thankful for the grace found in pain. The Journal of a saint. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Brief thoughts on receiving: my Lenten journey – Cari Jenkins
https://carijenkins.wordpress.com/2015/02/23/brief-thoughts-on-receiving-my-lenten-journey
Shine Speak Life. Give Courage. Bless. Brief thoughts on receiving: my Lenten journey. February 23, 2015. Receiving. It is a great humility. It is beautiful and important and actually transforming. It is a gift that is beyond my ability to understand and it is something that takes huge risk. I wake up to the risk each morning. Will I be one who receives today? Will I receive the grace, beauty and life that is provided by Jesus, or will I seek to earn and prove and strive. And, I am thankful. I am a daugh...

A manifest of belief when we are tempted to doubt – Cari Jenkins
https://carijenkins.wordpress.com/2015/03/28/a-manifest-of-belief-when-we-are-tempted-to-doubt
Shine Speak Life. Give Courage. Bless. A manifest of belief when we are tempted to doubt. March 28, 2015. I believe that this moment, as I type these words is a gift of eternity now; the second of time between the past and the present second. And, in this now, you hold me with such great strength that your heart seems to be directing the melody of my own. Your tears, fall in perfect rhythm with my own and melt into my tears as if they are your very own. Brief thoughts on receiving: my Lenten journey.

Ashes and invitations – Cari Jenkins
https://carijenkins.wordpress.com/2015/02/18/ashes-and-invitations
Shine Speak Life. Give Courage. Bless. February 18, 2015. Ashes The remnant left over when all is destroyed. Ashes The reminder that what once was, is no more. Ashes A clear reminder that death has visited and has robbed life in some form. Ashes, hold hope and sorrow. Ashes, hold invitation and defeat. Ashes, hold memories of presence and fears of the future without. Today ashes were placed on my forehead. In the form of a cross, the black soot, labeled me. Ashes, like life, hold both joy and sorrow.

Invitations in the dark – Cari Jenkins
https://carijenkins.wordpress.com/2015/05/13/invitations-in-the-dark
Shine Speak Life. Give Courage. Bless. Invitations in the dark. May 13, 2015. I’ve learned in my own journey that nearly every emotion, every feeling is clue. Feelings are meant to be felt, to be lived into, to be given permission to breathe and when allowed to do their work, feelings can lead one on a mission of discovery. That discovery, often reframes our beliefs about the emotions felt. Doubt is an invitation to trust. Fear is an invitation to courage. Worry is an invitation to peace. 8221; He didn&#...
