Hello One and All,
Welcome to When He Reigns!
Okay, so here goes. This is the first post for my new blog
and also will be the last post for my old blog. Believe me, this is no small undertaking, nor is it done without much thought and prayer. It is difficult to leave something behind that has been my companion, my outlet for so long.
God has been prompting me
again, quite insistently as He does at times, especially when I am not
listening to His still small voice. He has instructed me to start a new blog
totally dedicated to our mission, Bethel Grace Abbey. He has prompted me that RV’ing the Dream
needs to be left behind. I cried out to Him that I would lose all my followers
if I stopped writing on RV’ing the Dream. Our Benevolent Father assured me,
however, that those who are meant to follow, will continue to follow even if I
leave my old blog behind. God assured me that when I switch over to a blog
totally dedicated to our mission, Bethel Grace Abbey, He will populate my
online community far more than the few (His word) who follow our adventures
on RV’ing the Dream.
I argued with Him, as I often do because I am human. I
argued that this is the most popular my blog has ever been. The number of hits
soar daily. So it is difficult for me to leave behind something that has
finally come into its own. And maybe that’s the problem. The Dream was never to
be “its own.” The Dream has always been His, even though at first I imagined we
would be on a wonderful journey, traveling these beautiful United States of
ours, for at least five years.
But as you can probably tell, as time has
passed, the entire flavor of my blog changed. Everything I do is now in
pursuit of the calling He graciously placed on my heart many years ago. My
whole life is consumed by His calling. As each day passes, the mission, the
dream, the calling becomes clearer and clearer in my mind and in my heart. As
each day passes, more and more of my time and energy are spent in pursuit of
His dream for my life.
So it is with reluctance but also with great
anticipation that I now leave “RV’ing the Dream” behind and start anew on this
new blog, “When He Reigns” that He wants me to write. I am placing a link on RV’ingthe Dream so that all who desire to continue to follow, can.
Please find it in
your heart to bless this mission of ours by spreading the word about our
mission to humbly serve the heartbroken and homeless of Southern California, because when He reigns, it pours! And I can feel we are on the brink of something huge and glorious happening in our lives.
Thank you all for seeing me through
all my heartache and pain, my trials and fears, and for continuing with us on
our journey into this glorious new day.
In His Holy Name,
Jennifer Joy
