Girl......I just love you! You were that patient that makes me want to continue nursing for another 25 years. I get sucked into the negative abyss frequently with my job in the ER. This story lifted me up and I thank you for that. I have been so overwhelmed with the world lately.....you know the things that so many think we shouldn't talk about....religion and politics. I was reading an article about the presidential candidates and something that was written about one candidate was so beautiful in my eyes..."understands the liberating joy of self-reliance." This popped in my head as I listened intently to your video. You are a woman who will try to get through anything and everything before allowing yourself to depend on others for assistance. Yes, fear and or stubbornness may have played a part, but you fought a good fight. When you went down, you were saved by the love and care of God, your family and healthcare workers. I love that you are not taking for granted the awesome talent that God has given you. After such a traumatic experience, bam, there you go again with self-reliance...giving birth to Chic Sparrow. I am not saying that you did everything alone. I am saying that you see the "joy" of self-reliance and the amazing thing is that other people catch onto it and awesome things come out of it. Ok, jumping off my soapbox.......thank you for the story and have an awesome day!
Thank you for your story. I too almost died, so I understand the gratefulness you feel..and yes.. let's shine bright..so many ppl need to hear about His wonderful love. xo Loved this jenn. you are a gift to all of us. xo
Thank you for clearing up that mystery Jennifer! I was gobsmacked as we say in England at the similarities to what I experienced at around the same time. I had surgery in Feb 14 and my daughter now gives blood regularly, as I can't. I made my notebooks after seeing Ray Blakes how-to video too!!! Journaling is such a wonderful thing for people, individually and in our connection with our spiritual life, and it makes this wonderful community. Thank you! xx
I just discovered Chic Sparrow last week and my Pemberley pocket travelers notebook was shipped today! Thank you for sharing your story. You are brave and a testimony to God's faithfulness. You are a treasure. Looking forward to getting to know you and your company more in the future!
Found you through watching Alli. I love how she shares her faith and her beautiful soul. I cannot believe I watched this today as was putting off my next blood donation. Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul and craftsmanship w the world. I like to invest in things that are meaningful to me. I too share your faith and need that encouragement. I have no hesitations now from purchasing. Your products will ever be a loving reminder and comfort to my heart of Gods love and protection. I can tell this was hard for you to share but it meant so much to me. God bless you
I'm now forever a faithful chic sparrow fan, I will never buy from another company. Quality is unreal and what a great story to go with it. Amen sister blessings and love.
Hi Jennifer, I too had that happen, but I was in Junior High (9th grade). If not for the grace of God I would not be here today at age 52! Thank you for sharing your story with us and for giving God the credit! I bought my first CSTN from your Etsy shop, then bought 2 more a few weeks later! Now just last week I got my leather tote and a personal size Outlander from you (then I ordered 2 leather bags!), and am still just as excited with your work now as I was before. And after hearing you tell this story about such a personal thing, it makes me love my CS leathers so much more! I am hugging you each time I pick up my tote or journals, and hope you feel the friendship and love, for you are now a part of each of our lives! Thank you for your honesty and integrity, for sharing yourself with a bunch of strangers, and for being a beautiful lady fulfilling the ministry God gave you! Hugs to you! Doni
I remember ordering from you on etsy and how helpful, sweet and kind you were. So patient with me. I love hearing your story and see how God has his hand on your life and now look.. you have a ministry! You are reaching so many lives and with your talents, its touching their lives as it is mine. Every time you post with a verse or item that shares about God, my heart smiles, and it fills my cup with joy. I'm sorry you went through all of that but am so thankful that you are here. I adore my first chic sparrow (before you started doing stitching) and now I cannot wait for the new line to order my pocket plus. Hugs & Blessings! Jen (pipandmelon etsy shop)
God Bless You! I have been a blood donor for 30 years. My husband had a similar experience two months after our marriage. He too refused doctor. I took him to emergency on a Sunday afternoon. Doctor told me he would not have lived another 24 hours. He received an immediate 5 pints of blood. Family members were pouring in to donate (replenish bank) in his honor/name. He was only 22 years old. We have been happily married for 35 years, blessed with 3 children and 7 grandchildren. I shared this verse in church (youth pastor's wife) as a remembrance of how important each life is to God. Praise the Lord for His grace. I am new to your brand, and TN. I use Filofax personal rings, but looking at your TN!
You know writing seems to be a healing meditating way to get through so much, I’m so glad you are well and have found your strength, a quick little story of my meditation writing. My father and I couldn’t have closer and while he was nearing the end of his life I bought a cheap little .99 book from Walmart and i wrote how I felt about loosing my dad, I wrote all the little memories that we shared, all of his favorite saying,songs, color how he would play around with my sisters and I. It was incredibly healing, to this day, 11 years later it still comforts me just to see what I wrote and what he said. All though I don’t have it in one of your fancy covers, it is priceless to me. I have plenty of those beautiful covers anyways.lol, bought a new one today...anyways I wish more people would journal it really is healing. God Bless you and your Family and Thank you so much for trusting us with this story and for these beautiful SPARROWS..
A great testament of how God is a healer....he works through prayer,medicine and doctors. We sing that song all the time in church...it's timeless. Thanks for sharing
Jennifer, I've been lurkily (is that a word?) following you for almost 4 years now, drooling over your beautiful notebooks...but, I had no idea of your story until today. Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable and real. It's so amazing how God uses his word, others, and even something like journaling and crafts to bring healing and provision and joy into our lives. I came (back) to journaling by way of a pretty traumatic family situation a couple of years ago and that has led to so much healing and growth emotionally, spiritually, and creatively. My favorite thing about all of it, though, are those little moments when I get glimpses of God's specific care whether it is ordering my time get me to a place of quiet content (usually with my journal open or at my art desk) where I can hear him or leading me to a specific passage or song lyric, or when he speaks through other's words of encouragement or testimonies like He did with yours today.
I too have health issues, a brain injury from bleeding in my head, at 42,now I'm 45,and I have so much to be GRATEFUL FOR, Now I've taken up journaling to help me get things done, my memory is not the best at times so to write everything down is a blessing and I love doing a bit of art and being creative too, it gives me a lot of peace in my mind, I'd love one of your journals but not sure where to look, and I need good postage as I in new Zealand, thanks for reading, sheree
Thank you for being so genuine and real as you shared this story. I recently have found the verse from the Bible...."So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. " Matthew 10:31 [NIV] Then, hearing your story.....resonates deeply with me. Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing. Many Blessings !
Jennifer, I'm crying into my coffee with you! I'm so thankful for your life. You are such a sweet soul and a great inspiration. Thank Jesus that your husband didn't listen to you that day. I'm so thankful for you and Chic Sparrow. Big hugs! 💖
I too found recovery from breast cancer by having a second hand chic sparrow and journaling in it gave me great solace to write down all that I was feeling. I love your heart and your story! I still favor my little chic sparrow the most . thank you! God Bless!
Jen u truly are heartfelt ,genuine & blessed... the message u shared is one I follow as well- I love the meaning behind the chic sparrow. Made me cry too... so happy God & your husband took care of you and now you're able to share His word....🙏🌻 I can relate to EVERYTHING you've said bc every moment is a gift. I've learned this at a the age of 5 being chronically Ill & now at age 44 have gone thru 10 total joint replacements... life is and has been a journey .... thanks for sharing & giving us a beautiful place to store our precious life documents... love u Jen!😘💕🐾🙏🌻🌻🌻
What a powerful testimony! When I first found Travelers Notebooks, your videos were the first I had found and fell in love with. I would watch the process of you ,making the yellow one over and over again. I just was mesmerized by the process and the level of care you put into it. I was only recently able to get my first Chic Sparrow....it was the Creme Brule and I tell you, it is amazing and I am blessed finally own a Chi Sparrow TN. You have an awesome ministry girl...touched by your story!!!
When I first heard of your company, I thought that may be the inspiration for the name. 😊 Thank You Lord for her husband that wouldn't take no for an answer, for the person/people who gave blood to save Jennifer, and for the blood that was shed from your Son Jesus on the cross to save us all! Amen!
Your tale is very moving, I did not expect this story but I feel for you. We share something. I got into hospital a few years back and ended up spending about 3 months there, one year to recover to a pitiable me. Writing in journals saved my sanity in the process. I'm so glad I will receive one of these notebooks for my birthday (was yesterday, your notebook should arrive tomorrow, I'll be stalking the mailman). You just gave it a lot more value. Thanks for sharing this story.
Unfortunately, since I'm sick I can't donate blood. It is too full of meds to be accepted, probably too dangerous and I am too weak anyway. But you're absolutely right, donating blood saves lives and generates a whole circle of gratitude.
I am glad you didn’t edit out your emotions from the video. It makes people connect with you as a person. I love the reason that you named your business ❤️. And you are right, God does care about us more than we realize.
I don't know you but I send you a big big hug Jennifer...Thanks for sharing this part of your life with us, I feel identify with you...Jesus said "you do not realise now what I'm doing, but later you will understand" sometimes we can't understand why we have to go through tough moments in our life but God has a reason for allowing things to happen although we can't understand his reasons 🙏🏼 take care 💕
What an incredible story. It came at the perfect time too; I used to frequently donate blood, and have often wondered whether or not I should start again. You are blessed. ♥️🌻🙏🏼
God bless you, Jennifer! Thanks so much for sharing your story and your faith--I love the meaning behind Chic Sparrow--how beautiful. I am states away and can't hug you, but I am going to hug my Mr. Darcy right now!
Jen, what a moving story! Bless your heart! Thank you for sharing such a personal journey. I'm so happy that you are recovered and that you are lifting all of us up with your beautiful products! Take care, you are a very special Sparrow!
I remember you were ill when I tried to place my first order! Thank heaven you are healthy now!! I remember it was a long road for you, but God knew what he had planned for you. You have touched many... I know I am grateful for the beauties you create ❤️
Jen you are so sweet and have such a gentle loving gift. Thank you for sharing your story! Your words have truly inspired me. I also don’t enjoy going to the doctors or to the emergency room. The past year my health has gone down hill with feeling weak, no energy and so tired. My family and friends talked me into seeing the doctor and I’m grateful I did. Even though I’m not out of the woods yet I’m praying after my upcoming surgery that I will start to feel better. Thank you again for sharing your story!
What a beautiful story and great reminder of how precious life is and how much God loves and sees us. Thank you so much for sharing, Jennifer, and may He continue to bless you and your business. You make a difference!
Love your testimony!! I am unable to give blood.. no spleen due to ITP blood disorder. Because of the blood disorder I have always wanted to give blood. I had this disorder at the age of 13. It was discovered while I was in the hospital after a wreck on a go-cart. That is how awesome God is.
It obviously took a lot of courage to share that powerful story. Thank you! When things looked bleak in my life one time, my best friend shared that verse with me. Thanks for reminding me of the power in that simple verse.
Thank you for sharing your story!! You are such an inspiration!! I don't own a Chic Sparrow YET, I love the story behind your company and am saving for one. God Bless you and your family!!!!
Your story has touched me in a way I can not describe. My husband went thru something fairly similiar Dec 29th of last year. He was diagnosed with TTP after stroking and flat lining in the ER. The best way to describe the disease is that all his clotting factors in his blood throughout his body migrated to the brain and kidneys and clotted up. I lost him for 3 minutes and 57 seconds. The overwhelming feeling of grief and loss in those moments I will never forget. He had to be sedated and put on a ventilator because when he did come to he was very combative not knowing where he was or who anyone was. The only effective trearment for TTP is plasmapheresis. That's where his blood was exchanged for new blood. On top of that he had to have rituximab infusions. Recovery varies on the person. Some recover quickly, while some can stay inpatient for months. Had I not been persistent to taking him to the ER he would have died in a matter of few hours. Symptoms are basically flu like for about the initial week. The symptoms of numbness comes only towards what most turn out to be the end for many people. This disease is so rare that many US drs, including hemotolgist specialists are not familiar and many patients die because they are not given the right treatment. We just happen to be very lucky in that the hemotolgist on duty studied this disease in medical school and always checks the pt platelet level on the blood labs BEFORE treating patient as a stroke patient. Had the drs given my husband a blood buster as they do with typical stroke patients to bust the clots he would have blead to death internally or if he got a cut he would have blead to death out. Normal blood platelet range is 150,000 and up, he was at 4000. It really is a miracle he is here today. Full recovery with not even any neurological damage. His Drs are still amazed today of his recovery especially the neurologist. He said having no heartbeat for that long he should have some Neuro damage, including some paralysis in speech and such like you see with stroke patients. During this time I had to be strong for our children. We have 2 grown sons and 2 daughters still at home 13 and 15. However I was anything but strong. I took to journaling my feelings like I did as a teen. I hadn't journaled MY feelings, my emotions, in so very long being wrapped up in everyday life. I also needed a system to keep track of all his dr appts, and there was alot as he continued rituximab for an additional 5 months after being discharged. I have not found planner/journaling peace just yet. I have a pocket size fabric tn that I got to try out the tn system and the sizs is good, just not a fan of the fabric. I also have a mini happy planner and a classic happy planner and feel I've gotten caught up in the rabbit hole of STICKERs. The past couple weeks I've realized that doing the HP thing has taken away from what I really want to focus on which is personal journaling and having recently been saved I want to also incorporate bible journal while I begin my journey of bible study. So this revelation has brought me back to the traveler's notebook system. I love the logic of inserts and being able to switching them out when needing to. Also love the feel of the paper and overall simplicity. I've also begin to dabble in watercolor painting and love that I can make my own art journaling inserts. This self discovery of journaling, or should I say rediscovery, has been the only outlet I have had since I lost my husband for those few moments. Writing things out have made me look at things from different perspectives. Ok so now that I have rambled on and on, in conclusion, I have to confess that over the past year I keep finding myself back to your website, looking at the leathers, sizes, watching videos, and other planners videos which all have directed back to Chic Sparrow. I FINALLY took the plunge and ordered on black friday. A pocket creme brulee classic, a b6 pemberley deluxe, and 4 Mr Darcy passports which 3 are gifts and 1 to keep. I didn't know what kept drawing me back to Chic Sparrow until now, after watching this video. It just spoke to me in a way I can't describe. Ok so now that I have probably done my journaling for the day on YOUR channel (LOL), I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being vulnerable and allowing us into a glimpse of your life. It is not easy to do that. Now I know what Im going to do which is sell all these unnecessary planners, stickers, and washi tapes. Time to get back my life back to simplicity and focus more on what is important. Toodles!
Thank you for sharing your story, I'm glad your children still have their father and you your husband. Continue telling your story so that others can feel encouraged. Be blessed.
I am so grateful that God was watching over you and you lived! Your husband is a hero and I thank God for him too. You have every reason to cry while telling that story, that was so scary! God has blessed you and blessed us with getting to know you thru your work, and our being able to buy your beautiful notebooks. Thank you for sharing your story with us, and besides donating blood, everybody should realize that you need to take your health seriously and GO TO THE DOCTOR when you're now feeling well. DON'T PUT IT OFF!
Thank you for this! I got my first ChicSparrow recently. Because of your message and philosophy, I'll be getting my A6 from you after the first of the year. Your logo on the back will be a constant reminder of your message. Blessings to you always!
What a great story, Thank you! I've been in a similar situation(almost died, 2 surgeries and blood trensfusions) and share your same values. I'm happy that you turned your trials into triumphs! God Bless❤️
Thank you for your testimony! God is so good! He used a situation that could have destroyed you to bring you to a new season of blessings. He knew that you would give him the glory! You have beautiful journals and now I’m even more blessed to have one!
Thank you so much, Yes, I'm stronger than ever and so very grateful for every moment I've been blessed with. I'm also counting each and every customer as a blessing because without all of you, I wouldn't be here in the capacity I am in. Special thank you to you Lu!
Thank you for sharing your story. I really like seeing how much you enjoy working with leather, and I hope to place an order with your store one of these days. Thank you for inspiring me to write more, and for sharing all that you do. I've been feeling a little lost mentally, and this video reminded me of how writing in a journal can help sort things out. I guess I just forgot about it for a bit there.
I love your story, Jennifer. I wasn't sure I could love your business and your products more than I already did until I watched this! Thank you so much for sharing such a personal event with us.
WOW. I have always thought your notebooks were so BEAUTIFUL, but your story makes them even more meaningful. I guess that's a loaded question at dinner parties when someone asks, "So, how did you come up with that name for your company?" Sending much GRATITUDE for the BEAUTY & JOY that you contribute to this world . . . :-)
Thank you for your bravery and authenticity to tell us your story. I've been touched, blessed and inspired by it and you! Let those tears flow, girl. They are healing and real. I love your TNs and feel very attached to mine, as I too went in search of a journaling option during an overwhelmingly difficult period in my life. My research lead me to you and your TNs! All the best to you, always.
Wow, thank you for sharing! Cori, the Reset Girl, was showing off her new Chic Sparrow TN on her last video, so I thought I'd check out your product. I am going to purchase one and the main reason is to support your business. I am in awe of your kind and compassionate spirit. The world is a better place because you are in it.
Thank you, Sara! Your support means so much to us. We hope you love your Chic Sparrow purchase and please let us know if you have any questions. Email support@chicsparrow.com
hey Jennifer wow i know that others will say so much more interesting things but i cried right along with you. as i think I told you in July i lost my job and it was my ministry as well. and lately I have been feeling like my worthiness is gone that i have less purpose. but i know God has my situation in his hands and you just reminded me. thank you for not dying and for sharing the beautiful heart God gave you
Thank you so much for recording this video, I bet it was hard to do. Life has been very hard for me lately and I have been pretty negative. I was diagnosed with preclampia in May, was induce, delivered our sweet baby girl alone as we don't know anyone nearby to babysit our kids, she had blood sugar issues and had to stay in the hospital longer then usual, we moved two weeks later into a mobile home that ended up being a lemon. The owner put false walls over a huge problem. It feels as if it is falling apart around us. We are living on subfloor in much of the house. There is a leak, caving in roof in one bedroom (it's not being used) and more. Both of our vehicles had significant issues. Then I woke to find a petechiae rash on my baby. I rushed her to Urgent Care, who sent her to the ER. They decided she must be being abused and forced her to undergo x-rays of every bone in her body from numerous angles. Of course they found them to be normal as she is in no way abused. But the thought of all that unnecessary radiation haunts me. The next morning we discovered our home had bedbugs. Last night I exploded in negativity at my sweet husband who had done his best through all of this and has stayed so positive after he got home from work. He drove off upset because of my biting words. Your video speaks to me so much. Through all of the things we have been through God has been with us. We have not missed a meal, we have had clothing, shelter, a loved one helped us get an exterminator in, my dear Mother has helped us whenever she can and through it all we've had each other. We've also learned so many lessons. This experience has given the push to become minimalists as we have felt called to for some time but I had always hit a speed bump when getting rid of stuff. Bedbugs and a leak in our shed made us get rid of SOOOO much. Interestingly none of us miss the stuff that got damaged or had to be gotten rid of. Today is hard but it won't stay this way. Thanks for the reminder to lift up others. I've been failing at this. And of how big of a blessing life is. Bless you!
God Bless you sweetie!!! So happy that there have been much brighter days for you since this incident. Know that you are such a blessing to this community as well - and so happy that you're life is so blessed today!
Thank you so much for sharing your very personal story! Your emotion and tenderness is very touching to my heart! Thank you for making such beautiful pieces of artwork and in doing so you allow us to heal, explore and are blessed by our journaling! Thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing your story, I cried right along with you. You're such a beautiful soul and it's a little more clear, now, to see why. I absolutely ADORE the origin of how you came up with your shop name ❤️ Again, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing that beautiful story. I went through a similar season this past year and that bible verse and your journals really got me through. God bless you and keep you Jennifer! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story! You're such a strong and beautiful soul. I absolutely love your company and what it stands for and I will continue to support it/you. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, Jennifer I’m not sure if I saw this before because some of he story I knew somehow but I watched while doing dishes today and loved your beautiful testimony to the Lord’s faithfulness! I couldn’t agree more with your conclusions... live gratefully and graciously! Love the Sparrow reminders !
Thank you, Jennifer, for sharing your story. I have always loved the verse about the sparrow (and the song His Eye Is On The Sparrow).I have many Chic Sparrows & plan on more.
Thank you for sharing your heart Jennifer. You radiate Him with such grace. Blessings to you for being so transparent. I love the TN's I've purchased from you.
Ok Jennifer I so thank God for this beautiful testimony! You have a faithful customer now! I thank God for your life! May God continue to bless and increase your business in Jesus Name! Amen
So, this video wreaked me. Took me a while to compose myself. Thank you for the courage to be vulnerable and tell your story. It has impacted me. I used to journal and stopped. I feel COMPELLED to journal and Ali Brown led me your site. I did not expect the level of impact this online journey would have on me. TY and keep strong and moving forward.
What an amazing and inspiring story! I've been buying your TNs since your days on Etsy--I call them my 'vintage' Chic Sparrows 😉--and I continue to be a customer not only because of the quality of your products but because of YOU; the kind, sweet, humble soul behind the business. We need more people like you in the world! Thanks for sharing your story and God Bless! 🙏😘
Thank you for sharing your story. It has been a long time since I have donated blood and I will donate more often now. Your story touched me and has inspired me to set the goal in 2018 to donate blood every quarter. Also, I love my traveler’s notebook that I purchased from your Etsy store and am happy for all of your success!
Thank you for donating, that is an awesome goal for 2018. I'm happy you're still loving your TN from the Etsy days. We appreciate your continued patronage. Happy Holidays! :)
✂️ omg you made me cry,I'm so glad you survived what a great husband you have, I can't donate blood I had hepatitis A when I was 13, and in 1974 I needed a blood transfusion also, I lost my baby at 81/2 months along I was also very sick, I so believe in the lord and I know he loves me, thank you so much for your story, it was emotional and yet uplifting , thank you ,✂️✂️✂️
Thank you for sharing your story. I just ordered a TN from Chic Sparrow and after watching this video, I am so very happy I chose your company for my first TN. God bless you sweet lady.
Thank you for sharing your story. It's so much more than how Chic Sparrow got its name... it's how it came to be, and about overcoming a personal tragedy; finding strength and inspiration in the face of adversity. Authentic and powerful.
Jennifer, thank you for sharing this Emotional story... You’re very brave and my respect goes out to you. Ps you have the best Traveler journals. GOD BLESS
God bless you jennifer !! Thank you for sharing your story, I'm waiting for 3 Mr Darcy and now I know that I will love them even more, you are a sweet person! 🔝❤️❤️
You are such an awsome and amazing spirit. That too is one of my favorite hymns. Im not feeling well and havent been for a long time. Journaling saves lives. It pulls you back from the brink. I will always happily support chic sparrow. Its not just a mindless company. There are people behind that lovely and wonderful piece of leather you receive. It holds your story, your trials in life it holds the good things too...birthdays and holidays. Even though its an inanimate object its infused with so much love and life. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Jessica, I'm sorry you are not feeling well, I hope you turn the corner and are restored to wellness. Thank you for your support and you are so right about journaling. It helps on so many levels and I just can't imagine why people wouldn't want to do it. Thanks for sharing -Jennifer
This message you replied to couldnt have had better timing. I just received my new travelers notebook from you. I csnt wait to start journaling in her.
Thank you for sharing your story!! Don't ever apologize for your tears...they only show you have a big heart! I love your videos, your work, and your name!! 😉
I'm grateful I can continue to share my heart and my passion with you and all the amazing people I've met through being a part of this beautiful community. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Be blessed!
What an inspirational story! Thank you for sharing your personal story! I am about to order my first leather TN from Chic Sparrow! I am actually getting the Calendar Cover. Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing I did the exact same thing except I lived alone and finally called 911. I woke up in intensive care with blood transfusions also and in intensive care for 3 days. Don’t cry I know it’s scary I get a bright face and smile cause I’m still here and God took me through it and said I’m not finished with you! So please do t get sad when you talk about it think the great Father we have carried you right through it. Now I have heart failure and I smile every morning because I get to wake up again!
chicsparrow your so very welcome! I’m so happy this Monday I will be getting my Black Friday trifold! I really wanted the composition but that’s ok! My 2 others on my wish list are: Mr Darcy in Burgundy and the Maverick ❤️ by any chance will they be available before the 8th? (fingers crossed) have an awesome Monday!
so very glad your husband took you in. thank you for sharing your story...you may be saving someone else's life who may decide not to go in when they really need to go.
OMG I was just wondering about this! I watched Angie's video and when she said your company name, I realized that I didn't know the origin of your company name. Thanks for this video! "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know, he watches me...."
Girl......I just love you! You were that patient that makes me want to continue nursing for another 25 years. I get sucked into the negative abyss frequently with my job in the ER. This story lifted me up and I thank you for that. I have been so overwhelmed with the world lately.....you know the things that so many think we shouldn't talk about....religion and politics. I was reading an article about the presidential candidates and something that was written about one candidate was so beautiful in my eyes..."understands the liberating joy of self-reliance." This popped in my head as I listened intently to your video. You are a woman who will try to get through anything and everything before allowing yourself to depend on others for assistance. Yes, fear and or stubbornness may have played a part, but you fought a good fight. When you went down, you were saved by the love and care of God, your family and healthcare workers. I love that you are not taking for granted the awesome talent that God has given you. After such a traumatic experience, bam, there you go again with self-reliance...giving birth to Chic Sparrow. I am not saying that you did everything alone. I am saying that you see the "joy" of self-reliance and the amazing thing is that other people catch onto it and awesome things come out of it. Ok, jumping off my soapbox.......thank you for the story and have an awesome day!
Thank you for your story. I too almost died, so I understand the gratefulness you feel..and yes.. let's shine bright..so many ppl need to hear about His wonderful love. xo Loved this jenn. you are a gift to all of us. xo
Thank you for clearing up that mystery Jennifer! I was gobsmacked as we say in England at the similarities to what I experienced at around the same time. I had surgery in Feb 14 and my daughter now gives blood regularly, as I can't. I made my notebooks after seeing Ray Blakes how-to video too!!! Journaling is such a wonderful thing for people, individually and in our connection with our spiritual life, and it makes this wonderful community. Thank you! xx
I just discovered Chic Sparrow last week and my Pemberley pocket travelers notebook was shipped today! Thank you for sharing your story. You are brave and a testimony to God's faithfulness. You are a treasure. Looking forward to getting to know you and your company more in the future!
Found you through watching Alli. I love how she shares her faith and her beautiful soul. I cannot believe I watched this today as was putting off my next blood donation. Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul and craftsmanship w the world. I like to invest in things that are meaningful to me. I too share your faith and need that encouragement. I have no hesitations now from purchasing. Your products will ever be a loving reminder and comfort to my heart of Gods love and protection. I can tell this was hard for you to share but it meant so much to me. God bless you
I'm now forever a faithful chic sparrow fan, I will never buy from another company. Quality is unreal and what a great story to go with it. Amen sister blessings and love.
I appreciate your support! Thank you.
Hi Jennifer, I too had that happen, but I was in Junior High (9th grade). If not for the grace of God I would not be here today at age 52! Thank you for sharing your story with us and for giving God the credit! I bought my first CSTN from your Etsy shop, then bought 2 more a few weeks later! Now just last week I got my leather tote and a personal size Outlander from you (then I ordered 2 leather bags!), and am still just as excited with your work now as I was before. And after hearing you tell this story about such a personal thing, it makes me love my CS leathers so much more! I am hugging you each time I pick up my tote or journals, and hope you feel the friendship and love, for you are now a part of each of our lives! Thank you for your honesty and integrity, for sharing yourself with a bunch of strangers, and for being a beautiful lady fulfilling the ministry God gave you! Hugs to you! Doni
I remember ordering from you on etsy and how helpful, sweet and kind you were. So patient with me. I love hearing your story and see how God has his hand on your life and now look.. you have a ministry! You are reaching so many lives and with your talents, its touching their lives as it is mine. Every time you post with a verse or item that shares about God, my heart smiles, and it fills my cup with joy. I'm sorry you went through all of that but am so thankful that you are here. I adore my first chic sparrow (before you started doing stitching) and now I cannot wait for the new line to order my pocket plus. Hugs & Blessings! Jen (pipandmelon etsy shop)
God Bless You! I have been a blood donor for 30 years. My husband had a similar experience two months after our marriage. He too refused doctor. I took him to emergency on a Sunday afternoon. Doctor told me he would not have lived another 24 hours. He received an immediate 5 pints of blood. Family members were pouring in to donate (replenish bank) in his honor/name. He was only 22 years old. We have been happily married for 35 years, blessed with 3 children and 7 grandchildren. I shared this verse in church (youth pastor's wife) as a remembrance of how important each life is to God. Praise the Lord for His grace. I am new to your brand, and TN. I use Filofax personal rings, but looking at your TN!
You know writing seems to be a healing meditating way to get through so much, I’m so glad you are well and have found your strength, a quick little story of my meditation writing. My father and I couldn’t have closer and while he was nearing the end of his life I bought a cheap little .99 book from Walmart and i wrote how I felt about loosing my dad, I wrote all the little memories that we shared, all of his favorite saying,songs, color how he would play around with my sisters and I. It was incredibly healing, to this day, 11 years later it still comforts me just to see what I wrote and what he said. All though I don’t have it in one of your fancy covers, it is priceless to me. I have plenty of those beautiful covers anyways.lol, bought a new one today...anyways I wish more people would journal it really is healing. God Bless you and your Family and Thank you so much for trusting us with this story and for these beautiful SPARROWS..
God bless you Jennifer! So glad to have my 3 Sparrows, and I can't wait to add another! Thank you for being a witness to His amazing Grace.
A great testament of how God is a healer....he works through prayer,medicine and doctors. We sing that song all the time in church...it's timeless. Thanks for sharing
Jennifer, I've been lurkily (is that a word?) following you for almost 4 years now, drooling over your beautiful notebooks...but, I had no idea of your story until today. Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable and real. It's so amazing how God uses his word, others, and even something like journaling and crafts to bring healing and provision and joy into our lives. I came (back) to journaling by way of a pretty traumatic family situation a couple of years ago and that has led to so much healing and growth emotionally, spiritually, and creatively. My favorite thing about all of it, though, are those little moments when I get glimpses of God's specific care whether it is ordering my time get me to a place of quiet content (usually with my journal open or at my art desk) where I can hear him or leading me to a specific passage or song lyric, or when he speaks through other's words of encouragement or testimonies like He did with yours today.
I too have health issues, a brain injury from bleeding in my head, at 42,now I'm 45,and I have so much to be GRATEFUL FOR, Now I've taken up journaling to help me get things done, my memory is not the best at times so to write everything down is a blessing and I love doing a bit of art and being creative too, it gives me a lot of peace in my mind, I'd love one of your journals but not sure where to look, and I need good postage as I in new Zealand, thanks for reading, sheree
Thank you for being so genuine and real as you shared this story. I recently have found the verse from the Bible...."So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. " Matthew 10:31 [NIV] Then, hearing your story.....resonates deeply with me. Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing. Many Blessings !
Jennifer, I'm crying into my coffee with you! I'm so thankful for your life. You are such a sweet soul and a great inspiration. Thank Jesus that your husband didn't listen to you that day. I'm so thankful for you and Chic Sparrow. Big hugs! 💖
I too found recovery from breast cancer by having a second hand chic sparrow and journaling in it gave me great solace to write down all that I was feeling. I love your heart and your story! I still favor my little chic sparrow the most . thank you! God Bless!
Faith and perseverance are everything. There is so much meaning behind the name, "Chic Sparrow"! May God bless you and your family, Jen!
Jen u truly are heartfelt ,genuine & blessed... the message u shared is one I follow as well- I love the meaning behind the chic sparrow. Made me cry too... so happy God & your husband took care of you and now you're able to share His word....🙏🌻
I can relate to EVERYTHING you've said bc every moment is a gift. I've learned this at a the age of 5 being chronically Ill & now at age 44 have gone thru 10 total joint replacements... life is and has been a journey .... thanks for sharing & giving us a beautiful place to store our precious life documents... love u Jen!😘💕🐾🙏🌻🌻🌻
What a powerful testimony! When I first found Travelers Notebooks, your videos were the first I had found and fell in love with. I would watch the process of you ,making the yellow one over and over again. I just was mesmerized by the process and the level of care you put into it. I was only recently able to get my first Chic Sparrow....it was the Creme Brule and I tell you, it is amazing and I am blessed finally own a Chi Sparrow TN. You have an awesome ministry girl...touched by your story!!!
Your emotional vulnerability is beautiful, sweet lady. Thank you for sharing. 💗
When I first heard of your company, I thought that may be the inspiration for the name. 😊
Thank You Lord for her husband that wouldn't take no for an answer, for the person/people who gave blood to save Jennifer, and for the blood that was shed from your Son Jesus on the cross to save us all! Amen!
Your tale is very moving, I did not expect this story but I feel for you. We share something. I got into hospital a few years back and ended up spending about 3 months there, one year to recover to a pitiable me. Writing in journals saved my sanity in the process. I'm so glad I will receive one of these notebooks for my birthday (was yesterday, your notebook should arrive tomorrow, I'll be stalking the mailman). You just gave it a lot more value. Thanks for sharing this story.
Unfortunately, since I'm sick I can't donate blood. It is too full of meds to be accepted, probably too dangerous and I am too weak anyway. But you're absolutely right, donating blood saves lives and generates a whole circle of gratitude.
Chic Sparrow i won't. my disease is chronic and dégénérative. but i can have hopes anyways. you be blessed too. thanks.
I am glad you didn’t edit out your emotions from the video. It makes people connect with you as a person. I love the reason that you named your business ❤️. And you are right, God does care about us more than we realize.
Thank you for telling your testimony. How beautiful & inspiring. What a true blessing!!!!!! Now I love Chic Sparrow & you more than I did before. 😘🐩💙
Terri DeLamar thank you! It's not an easy story to tell.
What a touching story, so grateful you are here to share your gift and advice with all of us.
I don't know you but I send you a big big hug Jennifer...Thanks for sharing this part of your life with us, I feel identify with you...Jesus said "you do not realise now what I'm doing, but later you will understand" sometimes we can't understand why we have to go through tough moments in our life but God has a reason for allowing things to happen although we can't understand his reasons 🙏🏼 take care 💕
What an incredible story. It came at the perfect time too; I used to frequently donate blood, and have often wondered whether or not I should start again. You are blessed. ♥️🌻🙏🏼
God bless you, Jennifer! Thanks so much for sharing your story and your faith--I love the meaning behind Chic Sparrow--how beautiful. I am states away and can't hug you, but I am going to hug my Mr. Darcy right now!
Jen, what a moving story! Bless your heart! Thank you for sharing such a personal journey. I'm so happy that you are recovered and that you are lifting all of us up with your beautiful products! Take care, you are a very special Sparrow!
Thank you for sharing your story! It makes my notebook seem even more special now that it is a symbol of how God rescues and provides.
I remember you were ill when I tried to place my first order! Thank heaven you are healthy now!! I remember it was a long road for you, but God knew what he had planned for you. You have touched many... I know I am grateful for the beauties you create ❤️
Jen you are so sweet and have such a gentle loving gift. Thank you for sharing your story! Your words have truly inspired me. I also don’t enjoy going to the doctors or to the emergency room. The past year my health has gone down hill with feeling weak, no energy and so tired. My family and friends talked me into seeing the doctor and I’m grateful I did. Even though I’m not out of the woods yet I’m praying after my upcoming surgery that I will start to feel better. Thank you again for sharing your story!
What a beautiful story and great reminder of how precious life is and how much God loves and sees us. Thank you so much for sharing, Jennifer, and may He continue to bless you and your business. You make a difference!
Love your testimony!! I am unable to give blood.. no spleen due to ITP blood disorder. Because of the blood disorder I have always wanted to give blood. I had this disorder at the age of 13. It was discovered while I was in the hospital after a wreck on a go-cart. That is how awesome God is.
Hi Kristi, thank you for watching. I appreciate you sharing your story too. Have a wonderful week!
It obviously took a lot of courage to share that powerful story. Thank you! When things looked bleak in my life one time, my best friend shared that verse with me. Thanks for reminding me of the power in that simple verse.
Thank you for sharing your story!! You are such an inspiration!! I don't own a Chic Sparrow YET, I love the story behind your company and am saving for one. God Bless you and your family!!!!
Your story has touched me in a way I can not describe. My husband went thru something fairly similiar Dec 29th of last year. He was diagnosed with TTP after stroking and flat lining in the ER. The best way to describe the disease is that all his clotting factors in his blood throughout his body migrated to the brain and kidneys and clotted up. I lost him for 3 minutes and 57 seconds. The overwhelming feeling of grief and loss in those moments I will never forget. He had to be sedated and put on a ventilator because when he did come to he was very combative not knowing where he was or who anyone was. The only effective trearment for TTP is plasmapheresis. That's where his blood was exchanged for new blood. On top of that he had to have rituximab infusions. Recovery varies on the person. Some recover quickly, while some can stay inpatient for months. Had I not been persistent to taking him to the ER he would have died in a matter of few hours. Symptoms are basically flu like for about the initial week. The symptoms of numbness comes only towards what most turn out to be the end for many people. This disease is so rare that many US drs, including hemotolgist specialists are not familiar and many patients die because they are not given the right treatment. We just happen to be very lucky in that the hemotolgist on duty studied this disease in medical school and always checks the pt platelet level on the blood labs BEFORE treating patient as a stroke patient. Had the drs given my husband a blood buster as they do with typical stroke patients to bust the clots he would have blead to death internally or if he got a cut he would have blead to death out. Normal blood platelet range is 150,000 and up, he was at 4000. It really is a miracle he is here today. Full recovery with not even any neurological damage. His Drs are still amazed today of his recovery especially the neurologist. He said having no heartbeat for that long he should have some Neuro damage, including some paralysis in speech and such like you see with stroke patients. During this time I had to be strong for our children. We have 2 grown sons and 2 daughters still at home 13 and 15. However I was anything but strong. I took to journaling my feelings like I did as a teen. I hadn't journaled MY feelings, my emotions, in so very long being wrapped up in everyday life. I also needed a system to keep track of all his dr appts, and there was alot as he continued rituximab for an additional 5 months after being discharged. I have not found planner/journaling peace just yet. I have a pocket size fabric tn that I got to try out the tn system and the sizs is good, just not a fan of the fabric. I also have a mini happy planner and a classic happy planner and feel I've gotten caught up in the rabbit hole of STICKERs. The past couple weeks I've realized that doing the HP thing has taken away from what I really want to focus on which is personal journaling and having recently been saved I want to also incorporate bible journal while I begin my journey of bible study. So this revelation has brought me back to the traveler's notebook system. I love the logic of inserts and being able to switching them out when needing to. Also love the feel of the paper and overall simplicity. I've also begin to dabble in watercolor painting and love that I can make my own art journaling inserts. This self discovery of journaling, or should I say rediscovery, has been the only outlet I have had since I lost my husband for those few moments. Writing things out have made me look at things from different perspectives. Ok so now that I have rambled on and on, in conclusion, I have to confess that over the past year I keep finding myself back to your website, looking at the leathers, sizes, watching videos, and other planners videos which all have directed back to Chic Sparrow. I FINALLY took the plunge and ordered on black friday. A pocket creme brulee classic, a b6 pemberley deluxe, and 4 Mr Darcy passports which 3 are gifts and 1 to keep. I didn't know what kept drawing me back to Chic Sparrow until now, after watching this video. It just spoke to me in a way I can't describe. Ok so now that I have probably done my journaling for the day on YOUR channel (LOL), I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being vulnerable and allowing us into a glimpse of your life. It is not easy to do that. Now I know what Im going to do which is sell all these unnecessary planners, stickers, and washi tapes. Time to get back my life back to simplicity and focus more on what is important.
Toodles!
Thank you for sharing your story, I'm glad your children still have their father and you your husband. Continue telling your story so that others can feel encouraged. Be blessed.
I am so grateful that God was watching over you and you lived! Your husband is a hero and I thank God for him too. You have every reason to cry while telling that story, that was so scary! God has blessed you and blessed us with getting to know you thru your work, and our being able to buy your beautiful notebooks. Thank you for sharing your story with us, and besides donating blood, everybody should realize that you need to take your health seriously and GO TO THE DOCTOR when you're now feeling well. DON'T PUT IT OFF!
Thank you so much for being so candid. I love hearing your story and feeling your raw emotion. big hugs and kisses!
Absolutely no need to apologize for your tears! Thanks so much for sharing your story, God is so faithful! Blessings to you and your family ❤️
Thank you for this! I got my first ChicSparrow recently. Because of your message and philosophy, I'll be getting my A6 from you after the first of the year. Your logo on the back will be a constant reminder of your message. Blessings to you always!
What a great story, Thank you! I've been in a similar situation(almost died, 2 surgeries and blood trensfusions) and share your same values. I'm happy that you turned your trials into triumphs! God Bless❤️
Thank you for your testimony! God is so good! He used a situation that could have destroyed you to bring you to a new season of blessings. He knew that you would give him the glory! You have beautiful journals and now I’m even more blessed to have one!
Thank you so much, Yes, I'm stronger than ever and so very grateful for every moment I've been blessed with. I'm also counting each and every customer as a blessing because without all of you, I wouldn't be here in the capacity I am in. Special thank you to you Lu!
Thank you for sharing your story. I really like seeing how much you enjoy working with leather, and I hope to place an order with your store one of these days. Thank you for inspiring me to write more, and for sharing all that you do. I've been feeling a little lost mentally, and this video reminded me of how writing in a journal can help sort things out. I guess I just forgot about it for a bit there.
I love your story, Jennifer. I wasn't sure I could love your business and your products more than I already did until I watched this! Thank you so much for sharing such a personal event with us.
WOW. I have always thought your notebooks were so BEAUTIFUL, but your story makes them even more meaningful. I guess that's a loaded question at dinner parties when someone asks, "So, how did you come up with that name for your company?" Sending much GRATITUDE for the BEAUTY & JOY that you contribute to this world . . . :-)
Thank you for your bravery and authenticity to tell us your story. I've been touched, blessed and inspired by it and you! Let those tears flow, girl. They are healing and real. I love your TNs and feel very attached to mine, as I too went in search of a journaling option during an overwhelmingly difficult period in my life. My research lead me to you and your TNs! All the best to you, always.
Wow, thank you for sharing! Cori, the Reset Girl, was showing off her new Chic Sparrow TN on her last video, so I thought I'd check out your product. I am going to purchase one and the main reason is to support your business. I am in awe of your kind and compassionate spirit. The world is a better place because you are in it.
Thank you, Sara! Your support means so much to us. We hope you love your Chic Sparrow purchase and please let us know if you have any questions. Email support@chicsparrow.com
hey Jennifer wow i know that others will say so much more interesting things but i cried right along with you. as i think I told you in July i lost my job and it was my ministry as well. and lately I have been feeling like my worthiness is gone that i have less purpose. but i know God has my situation in his hands and you just reminded me. thank you for not dying and for sharing the beautiful heart God gave you
Thank you so much for recording this video, I bet it was hard to do. Life has been very hard for me lately and I have been pretty negative. I was diagnosed with preclampia in May, was induce, delivered our sweet baby girl alone as we don't know anyone nearby to babysit our kids, she had blood sugar issues and had to stay in the hospital longer then usual, we moved two weeks later into a mobile home that ended up being a lemon. The owner put false walls over a huge problem. It feels as if it is falling apart around us. We are living on subfloor in much of the house. There is a leak, caving in roof in one bedroom (it's not being used) and more. Both of our vehicles had significant issues. Then I woke to find a petechiae rash on my baby. I rushed her to Urgent Care, who sent her to the ER. They decided she must be being abused and forced her to undergo x-rays of every bone in her body from numerous angles. Of course they found them to be normal as she is in no way abused. But the thought of all that unnecessary radiation haunts me. The next morning we discovered our home had bedbugs. Last night I exploded in negativity at my sweet husband who had done his best through all of this and has stayed so positive after he got home from work. He drove off upset because of my biting words. Your video speaks to me so much. Through all of the things we have been through God has been with us. We have not missed a meal, we have had clothing, shelter, a loved one helped us get an exterminator in, my dear Mother has helped us whenever she can and through it all we've had each other. We've also learned so many lessons. This experience has given the push to become minimalists as we have felt called to for some time but I had always hit a speed bump when getting rid of stuff. Bedbugs and a leak in our shed made us get rid of SOOOO much. Interestingly none of us miss the stuff that got damaged or had to be gotten rid of. Today is hard but it won't stay this way. Thanks for the reminder to lift up others. I've been failing at this. And of how big of a blessing life is. Bless you!
God Bless you sweetie!!! So happy that there have been much brighter days for you since this incident. Know that you are such a blessing to this community as well - and so happy that you're life is so blessed today!
Thank you so much for sharing your very personal story! Your emotion and tenderness is very touching to my heart! Thank you for making such beautiful pieces of artwork and in doing so you allow us to heal, explore and are blessed by our journaling! Thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing your story, I cried right along with you. You're such a beautiful soul and it's a little more clear, now, to see why. I absolutely ADORE the origin of how you came up with your shop name ❤️ Again, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing that beautiful story. I went through a similar season this past year and that bible verse and your journals really got me through. God bless you and keep you Jennifer! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story! You're such a strong and beautiful soul. I absolutely love your company and what it stands for and I will continue to support it/you. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, Jennifer I’m not sure if I saw this before because some of he story I knew somehow but I watched while doing dishes today and loved your beautiful testimony to the Lord’s faithfulness! I couldn’t agree more with your conclusions... live gratefully and graciously! Love the Sparrow reminders !
Thank you for watching! :)
Bless you for using a hard time in your life to create something beautiful
Thank you, Jennifer, for sharing your story. I have always loved the verse about the sparrow (and the song His Eye Is On The Sparrow).I have many Chic Sparrows & plan on more.

So, this video wreaked me. Took me a while to compose myself. Thank you for the courage to be vulnerable and tell your story. It has impacted me. I used to journal and stopped. I feel COMPELLED to journal and Ali Brown led me your site. I did not expect the level of impact this online journey would have on me. TY and keep strong and moving forward.
Thanks for getting to know me and my brand, I hope you find healing in your journaling and enjoy the journey!
What an amazing and inspiring story! I've been buying your TNs since your days on Etsy--I call them my 'vintage' Chic Sparrows 😉--and I continue to be a customer not only because of the quality of your products but because of YOU; the kind, sweet, humble soul behind the business. We need more people like you in the world! Thanks for sharing your story and God Bless! 🙏😘
Thank you for being transparent and sharing your story.... God is so good to us.

What a beautiful testimony the Lord has given you! Thank you for sharing Jennifer! Blessings~Becky
Wow! Thank you for sharing your story. Appreciate you being open since we know that in it self is hard for you. God bless you!
Thank you for sharing your story. It has been a long time since I have donated blood and I will donate more often now. Your story touched me and has inspired me to set the goal in 2018 to donate blood every quarter. Also, I love my traveler’s notebook that I purchased from your Etsy store and am happy for all of your success!
Thank you for donating, that is an awesome goal for 2018. I'm happy you're still loving your TN from the Etsy days. We appreciate your continued patronage. Happy Holidays!
:)
What a wonderful testimony, I am so glad I have found your company.
Thank you, Maria!
✂️ omg you made me cry,I'm so glad you survived what a great husband you have, I can't donate blood I had hepatitis A when I was 13, and in 1974 I needed a blood transfusion also, I lost my baby at 81/2 months along I was also very sick, I so believe in the lord and I know he loves me, thank you so much for your story, it was emotional and yet uplifting , thank you ,✂️✂️✂️

Thank you for sharing your story. I just ordered a TN from Chic Sparrow and after watching this video, I am so very happy I chose your company for my first TN. God bless you sweet lady.
Thank you so much, Melissa! We are grateful to be blessed with such wonderful customers.
Thank you for sharing your story. It's so much more than how Chic Sparrow got its name... it's how it came to be, and about overcoming a personal tragedy; finding strength and inspiration in the face of adversity. Authentic and powerful.
Jennifer, thank you for sharing this Emotional story... You’re very brave and my respect goes out to you.
Ps you have the best Traveler journals.
GOD BLESS

Chic Sparrow 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
You are such an awsome and amazing spirit. That too is one of my favorite hymns. Im not feeling well and havent been for a long time. Journaling saves lives. It pulls you back from the brink. I will always happily support chic sparrow. Its not just a mindless company. There are people behind that lovely and wonderful piece of leather you receive. It holds your story, your trials in life it holds the good things too...birthdays and holidays. Even though its an inanimate object its infused with so much love and life. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Jessica, I'm sorry you are not feeling well, I hope you turn the corner and are restored to wellness. Thank you for your support and you are so right about journaling. It helps on so many levels and I just can't imagine why people wouldn't want to do it. Thanks for sharing -Jennifer
This message you replied to couldnt have had better timing. I just received my new travelers notebook from you. I csnt wait to start journaling in her.
Thank you for sharing your story!! Don't ever apologize for your tears...they only show you have a big heart! I love your videos, your work, and your name!! 😉
I'm grateful I can continue to share my heart and my passion with you and all the amazing people I've met through being a part of this beautiful community. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Be blessed!
Much Blessings and thank you for sharing a big part of your life. May God continue to Bless both you and your family always.

Thank you for watching. We are excited for you to get your first Chic Sparrow!
Thank you for sharing your story. You're so sweet and genuine♥ I love CS and always will!
Thank you for sharing I did the exact same thing except I lived alone and finally called 911. I woke up in intensive care with blood transfusions also and in intensive care for 3 days. Don’t cry I know it’s scary I get a bright face and smile cause I’m still here and God took me through it and said I’m not finished with you! So please do t get sad when you talk about it think the great Father we have carried you right through it. Now I have heart failure and I smile every morning because I get to wake up again!
Thanks for sharing your story. I am in tears as well. I'm so glad your husband saved you.
Thank you! I count him on my blessings list more than twice.
This is the second time I've watched this. Thank you so much, Jennifer. I love you.
Thank you for your support, I'm so glad to see your name pop up!
God bless you, Jennifer. Don't ever be ashamed of your tears. Hugs!

Thank you for sharing your story, Jennifer. I needed to hear that this morning.
so very glad your husband took you in. thank you for sharing your story...you may be saving someone else's life who may decide not to go in when they really need to go.
OMG I was just wondering about this! I watched Angie's video and when she said your company name, I realized that I didn't know the origin of your company name. Thanks for this video! "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know, he watches me...."
