A Humble Introduction

For those of you who may not know me, my name is Jenna.  I am first, and foremost, a child of God, which sometimes leads me down paths I never would have chosen for myself.  I was born and raised in Robertson County, Tennessee, where my husband, Brian, and I reside today. I am the mother of five children, and yes, if you look in the picture above and only see three kids, it's because the Lord decided that two of our children needed to be with Him.  I have loved and lost.  I am a full-time wife, mother, friend, and church member. I also have the great privilege of painting, crafting, embroidering, and creating for many friends. My husband is a pastor in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, and we truly are blessed beyond measure; all of our gifts have come from God (James 1:17).
