How do you want to be seen?

Have you asked yourself that question.... How do you want people to see you?
 I desire a life that is full of blessings, surrounded by like people. I want people to feel comfortable in my presence and in my home.   Pastor Rob said Sunday how he had a pilot who stayed in his home that used a spare room whenever he was in town. And when this man would come to the front door he would feel this overwhelming sense of place, like he longed to be in their home.  Have you ever felt that way about someones home?  You know the one where you just can't wait to get there.  I know I have...... and I do!  That type of home, when you walk in, you can't explain it but you just long to be there.... it makes you feel good inside, you feel calm and relaxed and your like "how long can I stay?"  It's those type of people..... that have that type of home that you feel drawn to. Like wherever they are..... weather it's in their home, workplace, the mall or grocery store........ those type of people are SPILLING out kindness, love and blessings to other people. 
I want to be known as that kind of person, I want us to have that type of home, I want my children and my children's friends to come and feel..... Out - of- this-world.... welcome and drawn to our home. When I am absent or gone for a day or a week or a month, I want to be genuinely missed because someone misses that kind of presence in their life. 

How do you want to be seen or unseen? What steps are you taking to fulfill that in your life? Because believe me... people notice and people are watching.

  1. Hi Jen! Your cousin Heidi told me about your blog--and I've been loving reading it! I'm not sure if you remember me...Steph and I are good friends(we graduated together). Then I had the blessing of getting to know Annie better after going to the same church in Monticello...and now a huge blessing of getting to know your sweet aunt Holly much better while living in her house!
    I am so inspired by your story--it's very similar to my own. But I am at the very start of this "journey to become mended." So, thank you for the inspiration...it's just what I needed!
    Love and blessings,
