Hello Friends and Welcome Back,

Today’s the Day; A Plan to Write & Share Again

Today, December 14th, 2025 (editied and republished on December 17th. 2025), launches the day that I switched from a “.wordpress.com” site and officially have my own domain name: blessingsbyjill.blog!!!! Yay! This is something to celebrate, as it’s the beginning of me getting back into sharing my walk with Jesus and the blessings from Him; all glory and praise to Abba, Father!

My heart wants everyone to know the Lord and like we have been tasked with, going to all ends of the world and making disciples (Matthew 28:18 – 20), my hope is that sharing glimpses of my heart, straight from the Lord, it will help people far from the Lord come to know, follow & love Jesus and for those who already know, follow and love Jesus, that my post will help strengthen their walk with God.

I have several plans for sharing resources locally that have impacted me and strengthened my walk with Jesus, as well as sharing resources I have found online, universally accessible, for everyone to be able to grow & learn from; I am stoked for future post and how God will use this platform to grow and change hearts & to truly know how much God loves them!

This is also the day that I have started to publicly write. For a moment last year, I tried starting to share my writing again by making a private Instagram in fall of 2024, and sharing blessings from my life. In the midst of stabilizing, though and healing (as you’ll read below), it was too much for me & I stopped; I had to have a heart-check and realized that Instagram was too overwhelming for me and it felt heavy — the social aspect of comparison and other factors played a part too; I constantly battle with checking my motives for posts & such and it’s still something I wrestle with today.

I am reminded of God’s goodness in my life and the healing, redeemable journey He had me on in 2024 and the journey I continue to be on today. Thank you Jesus!

Brief Update & Overview of my Personal Life

Here’s a brief summary and update of my personal life; I look forward to writing future post to go into more details of how God’s been healing, redeeming, restoring, and blessing my family & my life:

• My Walk with Jesus: On March 9th, 2022, I began “walking” with Jesus! I truly accepted Him with my whole heart and it was that day that He began giving me His eyes and ears to see the world and my life began to change; my life has never been the same since and He has changed my heart completely. I am growing in intimacy and becoming more mature in my faith & walk with Jesus each day; praise the Lord!
• My Relationship with my son’s father: I was with my ex-husband for nearly 10 years. We have a son together, Elijah, who was born in May 2023. We got married in November 2023, and we separated in June 2024. Over the last 18 months, after fleeing our family home and starting a new life with just our son & I in another state, I have been working on healing and stabilizing while our family has gone through the court process of getting a parenting plan set in place, settling marital matters, and getting a divorce; in November 2025, our divorce finalized. We are now co-parenting our son.
• Healing, Stabilizing & Sharing Again: With all that’s involved with relocating, starting over, reflecting on the past & learning of trauma and truths from the past, stabilizing & rebuilding our new life from the ground up, being pro-se through the majority of the divorce process & more — I have been in a state of survival; fight or flight responses, mixed with PTSD, healing from trauma & abuse, and learning new tools to help with regulating my often dysregulated nervous system, is what’s been going on within me (God has a purpose and plan for it all, amen!) I haven’t been in a place to feel comfortable to write or share my walk, nor have I felt like I have had the time with all that’s been going on —> Now though, by the grace, mercy & love of Christ, I am ready to take steps forward and share my testimony of what Christ has done in my life and will continue to do! The healing, restoration, and redemption that’s gone on in my life is filled with blessings, all pointing to Jesus and His unfailing love in my life. I can’t wait to share with you all! And I am reminded so heavily lately, that God has uniquely gifted each of us with talents & gifts, and writing and sharing my genuine, authentic love for Christ is what overflows within me and I feel truly called to share it with others. I have been so greatly blessed by other followers of Christ who graciously write, create, make videos & share content of their walks ( I am a visual learner & love to read people’s journey — it does something to my spirit deeply) and I strongly believe that my own writing (and video creating — check out my youtube, https://www.youtube.com/@blessingsbyjill) with God working in me, can have a positive impact on others lives too, pointing them to Christ and strengthening their walk with Jesus through encouragement & hope!

Thanks for stopping by today, my friend! Please subscribe if you’re interested in hearing more about my walk with Jesus.

Prayer:

Father God,

I thank you so much for giving me the strength to start sharing my journey of faith again. I started with creating and posting on youtube and today I am here, writing again. From today’s message at church from Josh Butler, to the intimate talking the Spirit and I have had these last several days, to journaling it out on paper — it’s led me here today. Lord, thank you for the courage and strength to put one foot in front of the other. I am so thankful for Google and other resources that have helped me to make my social appearance align (blessingsbyjill) and the ability to create/update a logo and being given the strength & courage to just do it. Lord, I know that you will lead people here in your perfect timing and that the overflow of what you lay on my heart and share with others will ultimately bring glory, praise and honor to you. Thank you for your continual, unconditional, unfailing love for me; thank you for pursuing me and being so interested in my life today. Lord, continue to reveal yourself to this lost and broken world and help others to know how deeply you love and care for them.

Be blessed & encouraged. God bless you all!

Jill
