This is a song I received after God overwhelmed me with His love. I was lead to read John 1:11-14. It talks about how God welcomes all those who believe in His name into His family. And that we, of our own flesh, cannot enter in any other way.

Eight Siblings, Spades and Fried Chicken
We spent Labor Day weekend with Israel’s family in Muskogee. We were hoping to do a lot of support raising while there, but nothing really worked out. Instead, we had a wonderfully relaxing weekend with the fam. Israel’s brother Judah just returned from 10 months in Australia. It was wonderful to see him (he’s actually visiting our house right now). Eight of the nine Jernigan kids were together at once. Pretty amazing. In a few weeks, the ninth, Hannah, will be visiting from Australia with her fiancé Ash. Madness will ensue.

The Journey’s Path: Part 4
This is the last post about my decision for going to Germany, and the process that I went through. I’m sure there is alot more I could talk about, but these few posts were simply a way for me to share with you my journey. There will definitely be more about what Dani and I are both going through.

Through Their Own Eyes
I love this video. It’s Black Forest Academy students expressing what the school has meant to them. It really gives you an idea of what missionary kids deal with and how BFA affects their lives. I hope this helps you understand why we want to invest in these students. This video was created by Michele Phoneix. She has been teaching at Black Forest Academy for 16 years and first came to BFA as a student.

The Journey’s Path: Part 3
I think this next step in my journey was pretty important, and still is. I am probably going to struggle with feelings of not being the provider for my family. I know I’m supposed to trust God, but I’ve been trying to be the provider for so long now, it’s how I think.
So, I’m praying that God helps me to see that He is big (Proverbs 30) and that my eyes are opened to the flawed pursuit of stability in wealth.

The Journey’s Path: Part 2
This next post I wrote after Dani and I mentally decided to go to Germany. We were still seeking God and trying to figure out if this was the right thing to do. I didn’t want to go through with this Germany thing if I didn’t feel God was leading us in that direction.
Now it totally feels like God is opening all the doors for us to go to Germany.

Introduction to doing video posts
Thought I would share my first video for our new blog, hopefully I will get better at filming myself. It’s kind of weird at first. 
I’m going to try and make the videos pretty organized and give a general description of the content.
This video is simply an introduction to the website, and a short reading from a Bible passage that’s pretty appropriate for where Dani and I are headed in our lives. We shouldn’t try and limit what God can do, He can handle it.

The Journey’s Path
Welcome to our new blog!
Over the past month I have been writing about our process, my walk with God, and our journey to Germany. I’ve been writing in anticipation that, if we felt God leading us to go to Germany and we eventually got a blog up, I would share my journey with those who might support us, who are family, or who want to just know why.
