She Noticed Me

She Noticed Me

Posted on04. Aug, 2010 by JenniCatron.

I was 15.  shy.  insecure.  timid.  nervous.  scared. Standing over to the side of her busy ice cream shop, I waited patiently for an opportunity to inquire about a job.  I’m quite certain that I nearly bolted out a few times, but I needed to do this.  I wanted to work here.  I needed a [...]

One of the greatest monsters that I wrestle with in my leadership is being confident in the calling and gifting God has for me.  I battle the usual suspects of insecurity, fear and playing the comparison game.

Confidence allows us to face life with boldness, openness, and honesty.  It enables us to live without worry and to feel safe.  It enables us to live authentically.    Joyce Meyer Confidence.

A few weeks ago as we entered the series “Shattered Dreams” at Cross Point Church I really felt like I had little to talk about in the way of shattered dreams.  I knew that for me the series would be more about helping other people and less about me…I am living my plan A. We entered our first [...]

Confidence has not always been a strong characteristic for me. As a child I struggled with never living up to what I thought I should be, or what I thought others thought I should be. As I got older and grew into who i was a little more I think I just became cocky. Cocky [...]

Last night I met up with five girls at a coffee shop here in Nashville.  I was introduced to three of the five.  We were all there for one reason: to support a friend with an extremely ill father.  We sat and talked for a couple of hours, listening to her explain the latest news [...]

When you read the word “Perfectionist” what comes to your mind? What about when you read the word “Prideful?” Now think about these two words as they relate to you… You may be a free-spirited lady who much prefers the word “messy” or “organic” over the word “perfectionist.” If that’s you please stick with me, you [...]

To Fight or Run?

This past weekend I spent time in Wonderland with Alice and her misfit crew then met up with country singer Bad Blake (“Crazy Heart”) somewhere in the Southwest. It was a colorful whirlwind of passion, adventure, tragedy, and hope. I was able to escape reality on one hand, but then was abruptly halted by it [...]
