My name is Jeanette Webber, and I have been involved in an IPad accident...

Psalm 139:13-14 “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well”
I happen to be one of those people who need to be reminded that I am made the way I am, on purpose - for a purpose.  
Last night I dropped my IPad on my foot - the corner of it shot like an arrow and hit like my foot had a target painted on it.  I had just taken a bath with nice, clear (not orange like the last 2 years) water from our new water heater.  I tried REALLY, REALLY hard to not drop my IPad in the water, cuz that would have been dorky.  Evidently I should have been REALLY, REALLY careful AFTER water was no longer involved.  It appears that an IPad can also be used as a weapon.  
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made..."
This last Sunday I forgot Moses' name.  Really?   In the middle of a time of moving mountains in praise, I can't remember MOSES?  What most people don't know is that before church I went and visited our new women's bathroom - there was available seating in there at that moment. ( I love that people can't talk to me through the crack in the stall door anymore!  Truly grateful.)  Walked from the bathroom to the front door of the church - and felt someone pull something.  I looked at my friend's face and heard her say, "Your skirt was tucked in your tights.  I thought I'd help you!"   Yes, that REALLY DOES happen to real life people.  At least it was taken care of before I went on the platform to lead worship.  Dork.  Dork.  Dork.
"...Your works are wonderful, I know that full well."  
Ok - it's true that my foot is too swollen to wear a shoe comfortably today - and I don't want to put my prayer request on the prayer chain because I don't know how to explain an IPad injury accurately. But guess what?   Right now, my heavenly Father is saying, "That's MY girl!  She loves me with her whole heart.  She listens for My Voice.  And she's unique - the only IPad accident I saw all day yesterday!  I love her, that's MY girl!"
"This is my Beloved Son (daughter), in whom I am well pleased."   Help our hearts hear Your heart, Your opinion, Your love, Your grace, Father.  Amen.

These are a few of my favorite things...

I am thankful that I have a thoughtful, generous, caring husband who has not traded me in - even with all the weird stuff he's had to go through with me. In the middle of feeling pretty yucky this weekend, he managed to help me celebrate my birthday with such a sense of caring. I am thankful for a friend who would call from Turkey to say happy birthday and say out loud his family's love on my behalf. (Even though he reminded me that it would cost hundreds of dollars and I only had 45 seconds to talk to him!!!) My heart felt - hugged. I am thankful for the look on a person's face who has really heard from heaven! The joy, the awe, the pureness in the eyes of one who is so excited about what God is doing. Oh my stars... I am thankful for the sound of the song of the Lord coming from His kids. Hearing the church family sing praise is my favorite instrument. I love having kids, but I really love having grandkids. I am grateful for the hearts of our kids letting us into

Just call me…..SHANIQUA!

I love this picture! I tend to be like the girl in the front seat.   You can call me Shaniqua from now on.  Really, I'm laughing out loud right now because I soooooo get this girl. Second row - that's kind of like Dennis.  Smiling - laughing - talking through the biggest dip on the ride - maybe even trying to decide where we'll eat lunch when the ride is over. Back rows - "THIS IS THE BEST RIDE EVERRRRRRR!"  (That was Dennis in younger years.  His dream vacation for us was to hit the top 7 roller coaster rides in America.  Ya…..not happening!  Fortunately, sun and sand and scuba diving won over the dream roller coaster vacation!) Evidently life is a roller coaster.  The ups and downs and corkscrews - hoping to shake loose anything that is loose - all a part of the ride.    Today… and the last couple of days …. okay - the last couple of years ….. I have had a deep need and desire for peace.  I don't pray for the roller coaster to stop a

Overwhelmed by love

Four weeks ago today our little grandson Oscar became very sick. Our daughter-in-law and also her mom kept us posted as they waited for the ambulance, as the ambulance arrived and then as they did what they needed to do in the hospital. Dennis and I waited, oh, I'd say 15 minutes from the first call to hop into our car and head up to Salem - not to fix anything - just to be with them. On the way up there my heart hurt so badly for Oscar - literal pain. I thought I had a huge mom heart for our sons - boy, this grandma heart could kill a person! We would move heaven and earth for that little guy if we could. As I was praying for him I asked the Lord to show me His heart for His kids. Confession - sometimes I struggle to KNOW the love of God for myself. That He would move heaven and earth for me, if it was best. Do you ever struggle with this? I felt Him whisper, "I love you more than you love Oscar." Oh, I want to 'get' that! Just like I want Oscar to re
