Before you begin to read my blog or listen to my music, I think it is important that you know a little bit about who I am. After all, music or words are simply an extension of the self. It is the stories about all that we have encountered, seen, and felt; the passions of love, the regret of choices we can’t take back, the resonance of the nights we can’t forget.
Raised in a small town, I grew up in a place where life stays simple. I had a beautiful childhood with parents who loved me, and a little brother who was always willing to adventure with me. I grew older and became a high school/college student; the time in life when everything becomes confused with hormones, chemicals, feelings, and all the other crazy things we young people are bombarded with. During this time, I fell in love with and married my high-school sweetheart. Although our journey was anything but easy, we have now been married for two years now and could not be more blessed.
My relationship with God has been tested, stretched, and has grown substantially throughout my 22 years. God has orchestrated situations in my life so that I have experienced a great many things, both beautiful and devastating. Through it all, the most important lesson I have learned is that God is faithful and loves us more than we could possibly think or imagine.
About 3 years ago, I was given the opportunity to work with a producer. Together, we transformed mere ideas into music. My debut album is entitled Wishing. It encapsulates my journey thus far, putting so many of my moments and emotions into song. The only dream I have for my music is that it brings hope to anyone who listens. You can hear my album (or order it) on my website, http://www.JennaRenae.com.
At my very core I am a story-teller. I believe I am called to create and share stories about God’s faithfulness and abundance in my life. Whether it is through music or words, I am privileged to share the adventures God has allowed me to encounter so far.
Life is an ever-changing journey filled with mountains and valleys, but the one constant is hope.
That being said, I hope this blog will bring you joy and hope. I hope my words inspire you to chase after kingdom dreams and revitalize you to always take the next step forward, no matter how seemingly small. I know that God has you and I right where we are “For such a time as this…” (Esther 4:13)
May the journey always inspire you.
Never stop Wishing.
Love Always,
Jenna Renae
For Such a Time as This
