My Story
Hey y’all! I’m Brooke Janes,
28, home base in middle Tennessee, but currently living in beautiful Northern California. I am a 2nd grade public school teacher turned ministry school student- on the wildest, most beautiful adventure of my life thus far. I have always had a passion for Jesus + people + writing. I love seeing beauty in those things wrapped up together. In April 2020, while sitting in the midst of great disappointment and confusion (as was most everyone across the globe), I felt the Lord say, “Come dream with me.” So, I pulled out my journal, wrote out in big bold letters, ‘DREAMING WITH GOD’ and then closed my eyes and allowed myself to dream. One of the many things He laid on my heart was starting a blog by 2021. It seemed pretty simple, but also a little terrifying. Through my doubts, the Lord has continued to stir this in my heart the past several months, so I figured I better just go for it. Maybe, just maybe, one person will read something that I write, and it will encourage them to keep going, and that will be worth everything. It’s been 9 months since this dream was planted in my heart and now, here we are…
Welcome to Delighting
The Mission
My desire is to create a space that is life giving and hope filling. I want this to a be a place that encourages and empowers you to:
Go deeper in your walk with the Lord
Be fully present in the season you are in & trust His promises for you and
To not be afraid to go after your dreams and take risks.
PSALM 37:3-4
3 Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in his eyes.Fix your heart on the promises of God and you will be secure, feasting on his faithfulness. 4 Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life, and he will provide for you what you desire the most.
As the scripture says, when we delight in the Lord, He will give us the desires of our heart. Let’s be clear, that doesn’t mean that you get every selfish desire. Rather, as you grow closer to the Lord, you become one with Him, and you begin to desire the very things that He desires for you. That is my purpose behind this whole site- to encourage you to delight yourself in Him, and watch as the things that you dream about, become the reality you walk in.
