Thanksgiving 2010

I LOVE Thanksgiving.

I feel overwhelmingly thankful, grateful and blessed by all I have on a pretty regular basis… but Thanksgiving is a great time to take the opportunity to verbalize it.

So… THANK YOU!

Thank you for reading.
Thank you for the community you’ve invested in here.
Thank you for all the prayers you’ve said for our family.
Thank you for your support.
Thank you for your encouragement.
Thank you for being my extended family.

From all of us, to all of you…

Thank you!

How was YOUR Thanksgiving?

Community

If someone told me that I would have found some of my closest and most trusted friends via social media 5 years ago… I would have laughed in their faces.

I’ve always had friends. It’s always been important to me to be surrounded by people. But no matter how surrounded I was, I usually felt pretty alone. However, I believed as long as I was surrounded, then at LEAST I would look normal… whatever that means.

It wasn’t until I confessed my BIGGEST MORAL FAILURE, did I begin to realize how alone I really was.

Besides about 5 friends, the friends I had, or use to have, around me no longer seemed interested in being around me. I’m not sure if it was because they were hurt by my decisions, didn’t want to be associated with such a public sinner or if it was because they just didn’t know what to say. Whichever way, I totally understood and counted it as a consequence to my poor choices.

I was alone. I was hurting.

But then God….

JustOne: FREE Online Conference

I interrupt Affair Week for an important announcement.

This one is for the LADIES!!!

Starting on Tuesday, September 7, JUST ONE (an online conference geared towards women in ministry and pastor’s wives) will run for six consecutive weeks.  My friend, Lori Wilhite, is doing it through her blog Leading and Loving It.

If you’re not female, a woman in ministry OR a pastor’s wife, you may still enjoy this conference. There is a pretty great line-up of speakers. Another plus? This conference is free.

FREE.

Great information and resources for FREE!!!

You need another reason? Each speaker is presenting within 8-10 minutes. You can’t say you don’t have time for it :)

I have the amazing privilege of sharing on marriage among many other amazing women.  For the speaker line up and more information, click here.

New Look

… here at the JenniClayville.com.

Last night, the theme I WAS using went a little nuts. I was thinking it was time to change the look of my blog anyway… so I just did.

There’s a lot of things I still need to personalize and fix up… but before I do, just wanted to get YOUR thoughts. Do you like it? Do you hate it? Is your opinion somewhere in between?

On a scale from 1 – 10 (1=SO ugly and 10=BEST LOOK EVER), what do YOU think?
