Welcome

Hello! I'm Danita Jenae.

author | speaker | artist | prayer warrior

I'm a recent military widow learning to carry joy and sorrow in the same breath.

I'm also a young mom who is NOT afraid of sprinkles and glitter!

With me, you'll learn practical and creative ways to draw near to God.

Muito prazer! Mucho gusto! A pleasure to meet you!

To be loved. And to love. That's what it's all about. love, d

Yes, this is my bathroom floor! Where better to fi

Yes, this is my bathroom floor! Where better to film a message on sleep deprivation?! It seems to be the place I hide when I can't sleep in the night.

I wish I could tell you all the ways God showed up for me as I filmed this for the 2020 Christian Self-care Conference.

I also wish I didn't have so much experience on the topic of sleep deprivation.

And I wish the Lord didn't feel the need to give me a refresher on that topic for weeks on end before I shared this message.

But I cannot wait to share with you all the power that just plopped out of my mouth for "Walking on Water Without Any Sleep."

I had a deadline and only a small 30 minute window before picking kids up from school that day. And the message was supposed to be about 30 minutes. So no time for a retake. I clung to the promise in that God would give me the words if I just began speaking...

Friends, that is a good exactly what God did! And even I am surprised at what came out. With no time for notes or an outline, I felt totally unprepared. But God had given me more than an outline...

He gave me years of living out how to walk on water when everything on earth says, "You really should be drowning by now, lady. Why aren't you sinking yet?"

Even in crisis, even in a time crunch, even in trauma… moments like this remind me that He is still here and He is still faithful.

Stay tuned! Doors open in a few days, and I'll share the sign up link then. 🖤

@lisaappelo gathered 12 other women who have all

@lisaappelo gathered 12 other women who have all walked the hard road of loss. Each of us shares a scripture that ministered to us deeply in loss and why.

Mine is Psalm 3:3.

I'm sure you'll be encouraged, and maybe you'll even find a new piece of Manna to hold on to for this season.

Your turn! What's a verse that's given you strength or hope in time of sorrow?

Ever notice a sunflower over due for harvesting? Head, heavy, full of tears, and hanging low.

I imagine that's how I look sometimes.

But a verse that's carried me through this loss reminds me of those heavy sunflowers how God is truly the Lifter of Our Heads.

Sometimes all we need is just one verse to hang on to for some hope.

Through deployment. Through sleep deprivation. Through postpartum depression. Through loss of my husband. This verse has sustaining power.

p.s. This is a sneak peek of my new website... coming soon enough! ♥

When people get real quiet, they're probably either:
-hurting desperately
-thinking deeply
-or just plain being peaceful.

I've been walking a turbulent blend of all of the above in the last month.

How about you? How did July treat you this year?

p.s. This little heart is a taste of the new blog reveal. It's part of my hurting desperately/thinking deeply/just plain being peaceful. Looking forward to sharing more soon.

Great questions, @brianjdixon! Thank you for this

Great questions, @brianjdixon! Thank you for this contest! Super generous of you and a great excercise for me! Peace.

1. Who you are, what you do.
2. The ❤ behind what you do.
3. Where am I stuck and would like help.

I really love being a mom. I love the way they make me laugh. I love seeing them learn new discoveries. I love the way they refine me and I refine them. I love when righteousness and faithfulness is visible on their hearts.

And I love the words that they encourage to fly out of my mouth (most of them!)... Like today. I had just showed my youngest how dirty dirty her hands were. Because she'd been digging in the dirt and came in to make herself a miniature bowl of applesauce with chocolate chips on top and another tiny bowl of rasberries, cream... and marshmallows. When I looked up again, I said, (no, shouted in desperation, actually), "Nooo! Don't pick your nose until AFTER you wash your hands!" I am still cracking myself up. The ironies! It's too much! 🤣
